GenRiver is a distributed process-based model that extends a plot-level water balance to subcatchment level. It was developed for data -scarce situations and is based on empirical equations. The model can be used to explore the basic changes of river flow characteristics across spatial scales - from patch level, subcatchment to catchment. GenRiver is simple river flow model, can be use as a tool to explore our understanding of historical changes in river flow due to land use change.
