Sažetak
Water balance is another name for the principle of mass conservation in which changes of total water volume, inflow (precipitation, snow melt) and outflow (evaporation, transpiration, surface and subsurface runoff) on a given area are balanced. The study of the water balance with a previous knowledge of climatic and physical basin characteristics offers information about current and future water quantities, and added insight into the complex process of basin runoff. This paper gives a review of methods for defining water balance and its main components, a review of numerical models for water balance calculation and examples of model applications.
