Wetlands are unique in their hydrologic characteristics in that they closely couple groundwater flow, surface water flow, and water storage. GSSHA employs a conceptual model that operates on a cell by cell basis.
Overview
The model that GSSHA uses allows infiltration and exfiltration, lateral seepage flow, flow through dense vegetation, and flow overtopping the vegetation.
