Closure to “Reverse Flood Routing in Rivers Using Linear and Nonlinear Muskingum Models” by Meisam Badfar, Reza Barati, Emrah Dogan, and Gokmen Tayfur

Abstract

The writers thank the discussers for their great interest in the reverse flood routing in rivers using linear and nonlinear Muskingum models presented in the original paper. The discussers suggested several ideas for modifying the structure of the proposed method. Some ideas are useful, and other ideas have adverse implications for model calibration and prediction. The writers would like to take this opportunity to thank the editors for facilitating this information exchange that will help advance the research on the reverse flood routing and enrich its practical applications.
