2. Introduction
Hydrological analysis and simulation generally involve many components including precipitation, infiltration, rainfall-runoff transformation, reservoir routing, channel routing, design of water conveyance or detention structures, etc.
Hydrological and hydraulic analyses (H&H analyses)
Computer models capable of handling all these tasks in one run are very helpful in engineering design and assessment of possible alternatives.

6. HMS model components
A simulation run calculates the rainfall-runoff response in the basin model given rainfall input from the meteorological model.
The control specifications component define the time period and time step of the simulation run.
The input data component provides auxiliary data that are required for the simulation run including
Time series of hyetograph
Stage-storage-discharge relationship
