Runoff modelling [is] based on the Stanford hydrological model which allows runoff hydrograms to be defined from pluviometric data and the characteristics of the river basin. In particular, the model takes into account exchanges with the subsoil (including groundwater), loss through evapotranspiration and possible input from snow. 5, record 1, English, - hydrograph

Le débit est le principal facteur régissant l'hydrochimie, principalement par le mécanisme de dilution. Le débit est aussi étroitement lié au transport de sédiments en suspension dans les rivières et les fleuves. En l'absence de mesures continues des débits, il est impossible de calculer les flux (le transport) de sédiments et de produits chimiques dans les cours d'eau. Un diagramme illustrant le débit en fonction du temps est appelé hydrogramme. La forme de l'hydrogramme est liée au volume de la rivière ou du fleuve, à son régime d'écoulement, et aux effets des lacs ou des eaux souterraines. 3, record 1, French, - hydrogramme
