$56\mathrm{.}01$ Hydrological Modeling and Flood Forecasting:

Discuss the principles of hydrological modeling and its application in flood forecasting and management. Explain the components of hydrological models, such as rainfall$-$runoff models, river routing models, and flood inundation models, and how they are used to simulate hydrological processes, predict flood events, and assess flood risk in river basins and urban areas.
