Improvement Description
The current model lacks the capability to simulate the re-infiltration of surface water into the subsurface, which is a crucial process in hydrological modeling, especially in scenarios involving rainfall-runoff dynamics and groundwater recharge. Additionally, this hydrological process can be important in dry areas or for the simulating the effect of nature-based solutions (e.g. changing the roughness parameter for overland flow can have an affect on re-infiltration of surface water).
Implementation Description
Implement Re-infiltration Mechanism: Introduce a re-infiltration mechanism to simulate the process of surface water returning to the subsurface after runoff events. This enhancement will improve the accuracy of the model by accounting for the complex interactions between surface water and groundwater, ultimately leading to more realistic hydrological simulations.
