Simulates catchment dynamics using the diffusion wave model developed by Ponce (1986).

However, the procedure requires more computation time, due to the need for smaller time steps to maintain numerical stability. Numerical stability attained with moderately large time steps, on the order of 5 to 15 minutes Dynamic Wave: Can represent these conditions. Kinematic Wave: Efficient but simplified approach that cannot deal with backwater effects, pressurized flow, flow reversal, and non-dendritic layouts.
