One-line model description LISFLOOD - a distributed hydrological rainfall-runoff model
Extended model description LISFLOOD is a spatially distributed, semi-physical hydrological rainfall-runoff model that has been developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission in late 90ies. Since then LISFLOOD has been applied to a wide range of applications such as all kind of water resources assessments looking at e.g. the effects of climate and land-use change as well as river regulation measures. Its most prominent application is probably within the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) operated under Copernicus Emergency Management System (EMS).

Describe input parameters All input that LISFLOOD requires are either in map or table format.
Input format Binary
Other input format
Describe output parameters Although the model’s primary output product is channel discharge, all internal rate and state variables (soil moisture, for example) can also be written as output. In addition, all output can be written as grids, or time series at user-defined points or areas. The user has complete control over how output is written, thus minimising any waste of disk space or CPU time.
Output format Binary
Other output format aguila and NetCDF

Describe key physical parameters and equations --
Describe length scale and resolution constraints LISFLOOD is grid-based, and applications so far have employed grid cells of as little as 100 metres (for medium-sized catchments), to 5,000 metres for modelling the whole of Europe and up to 0.1° (around 10 km) for modelling on a global scale.
Describe time scale and resolution constraints Long-term water balance can be simulated (using a daily time step), as can individual flood events (using hourly time intervals, or even smaller). The output of a “water balance run” can be used to provide the initial conditions of a “flood run”.
