FIG. 1 Elements of water system and their interactions. FIG. 2 Classification of models based on process (Singh, 1995). The following Table 1 shows commonly model classification according to their characteristics (Perrin, 2002; Oudin, 2004). FIG. 3 Classification of models related to the time and space scale (Singh, 1995). FIG. 4 Hydrological model classification (Gaume, 2002). Depending on the use of the model, these components are designed differently. The process includes all the components of the water cycle, as well as the natural and anthropogenic phenomena that interact on the watershed system and which determine the model’s outputs (simulations).
