Summary The Runoff Model Based on Cellular Automata (RunCA) has been developed to
simulate surface runoff at different scales by integrating basic cellular automata (CA) rules …

Semi-distributed models, such as SWMM, have become effective tools for quantifying the
urban nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. However, these models could not provide detailed …

This paper presents an efficient implementation of the SCIARA Cellular Automata
