Two Rainfall-Runoff Models were earlier identified for application and for the generation of a more reliable discharge data. These are the Thornwaite Water Balance Model (WBM) and the IHACRES. The input requirement of both models differ. For the WBM‚ generation of runoff requires seven input parameters. These are the Runoff Factor (RF)‚ Direct Runoff factor (DRF)‚ Soil Moisture Storage Capacity (SMSC)‚ Latitude of location‚ Rain Temperature Threshold‚ Snow Temperature Threshold and Maximum Snow Melt

in the north Himalayan regions. The elevated Himalayan regions receive snowfall in the winter months. Himalayas and the Thar Desert substantially influence the Indian climate.

many urban areas experience heavier and more frequent rainfall‚ a greater amount of thunderstorms but reduced snowfall due to higher temperatures. Due to the effect of temperature the urban heat island effect generates convection‚ higher temperatures also cause lower pressures to develop. The pollutants in an urban area act as hydroscopic nuclei for water vapour which causes raindrops to form‚ all of these factors are associated with higher rainfall over an urban
