     --- Soil Moisture Accounting Parameters

The Soil Moisture Accounting Parameters for the catchment model dealing with various phases of the soil moisture accounting are:

Direct Runoff Upper Soil Moisture Zone
Percolation Lower Soil Moisture Zone

If the conceptual model is realistic for the basin, such that parameters have physical meaning, good first approximations for some of the parameters may be inferred from streamflow records, precipitation records, and other basin and soil characteristics.
The chances of obtaining the most representative set of parameters are increased with successive approximations if the first approximations are reasonable.
