What Does PRMS Stand For?

PRMS stands for Precipitation Runoff Modeling System

The Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) is a comprehensive, distributed hydrologic model designed to simulate the movement of water through the landscape, specifically focusing on the processes of precipitation, runoff, and streamflow generation. PRMS integrates various hydrological processes, including infiltration, evaporation, and groundwater flow, allowing for detailed assessments of water quantity and quality within a watershed. It is widely utilized in water resource management, flood forecasting, and environmental monitoring, providing valuable insights for decision-making in hydrology and land use planning.
