Date requirements and reference documents for the Sacramento Watershed Modelling System of the Interface Hydrology Section, Hydrology Research Division, Water Resources Branch / D.W. Lawson, S.Y. Shiau.: En37-233/1977E-PDF

"The SACRAMENTO modelling system of the Interface Hydrology Section contains an early version of the soil-moisture accounting scheme which now constitutes the heart of the United States National Weather Service flood forecasting modelling system. This early version of the accounting scheme has been modified to suit Canadian conditions and the entire modelling systemis currently being documented. Until such time as this documentation becomes available, the present report will (i) assist interested users of the system in the preparation of input data, and (ii) serve to inform such users of the available literature concerning the system. In the interests of completeness, a general description of the SACRAMENTO watershed model has been provided as an appendix"--Introduction, page 1.
