Inflows can originate from several sources. Surface inflows consist of streams, rivers, and drainage channels that
In hydrological analysis, sissevoolude contribute to the water balance of a system, together with outflows, evaporation,
Measurement and modeling of inflows are essential for reliable hydrological predictions. Inflows are monitored at gauging
Seasonality and climate also shape sissevoolude patterns. In temperate regions, inflows typically peak during snowmelt or
