  - 'Process-based hydrological models have a long history dating back to the 1960s.
    Criticized by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult to use,
    a more nuanced view is that these tools are necessary in many situations and,
    in a certain class of problems, they are the most appropriate type of hydrological
    model. This is especially the case in situations where knowledge of flow paths
    or distributed state variables and/or preservation of physical constraints is
    important. Examples of this include: spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture,
    groundwater flow and runoff generation, sediment and contaminant transport, or
    when feedbacks among various Earth’s system processes or understanding the impacts
    of climate non-stationarity are of primary concern. These are situations where
    process-based models excel and other models are unverifiable. This article presents
    this pragmatic view in the context of existing literature to justify the approach
    where applicable and necessary. We review how improvements in data availability,
    computational resources and algorithms have made detailed hydrological simulations
    a reality. Avenues for the future of process-based hydrological models are presented
    suggesting their use as virtual laboratories, for design purposes, and with a
    powerful treatment of uncertainty.@eng'
