3. Applications

The SPHY model has been applied and tested in various studies, including real-time soil moisture predictions in lowlands, operational reservoir inflow forecasting in mountainous catchments, irrigation scenarios in the Nile basin, and climate change impact studies in the snow–glacier–rain dominated Himalayan region. Some example applications will be summarized in the following sections.
