A Model‐Agnostic Representation of Prairie Pothole Hydrology: Enhancing Generality and Implementation Across Hydrological Models

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Modeling streamflow in low‐lying, flat, and pothole‐dominated prairie or Arctic regions is challenging due to variable non‐contributing areas that influence how runoff translates to streamflow. Several modeling approaches have been developed to represent
