Hydrological models are important models for understanding hydrological conditions of a given watershed for proper management, wise utilization, and future planning purpose. Water resource is limited in extent but crucial natural resource found on the earth surface. Hydrological models like WetSpass models are important tools for studying water resources distribution, occurrence and a potential for sustainable development.
