Abstract
Models of hydrologic systems are influenced by local climate and topography. The choice of models should consider particular characteristics and problems as related to various climates and physiographic regions. Arctic hydrology, snow-melt hydrology, temperate as opposed to arid-zone hydrology, and hydrology of very flat areas, problems involved in modeling in particular areas or climates, what is being done to overcome those problems, and areas of needed research are discussed.
