mizuRoute (in Japanese “mizu” means water) is a river routing model framework that can host various river routing methods that transport runoff output from a hydrologic model along the river network. The important modeling features are:
The mizuRoute source code is maintained and distributed through the mizuRoute github repository . This site also maintains information on model installation and setup.
