description abstractA diffusion wave model of distributed catchment dynamics is presented. The effects of catchment topography and river network structure on storm-flow response are incorporated by routing surface runoff in cascade throughout a digital elevation model (DEM) based conceptual transport network, where the Muskingum-Cunge scheme with variable parameters is used to describe surface runoff dynamics. Dynamic scaling of hydraulic geometry is also incorporated in the model by using the “at-a-station” and “downstream” relationships by Leopold and Maddock. Numerical experiments indicate that the model is more than 98% mass conservative for possible slope and roughness configurations, which may occur for hillslopes in a natural catchment. Fluctuations in the simulated discharge may occur in response to discontinuities in rainfall excess representation if Courant number
