Continuous hydrologic simulation is defined and a simulation model is described. The information needs for urban water management systems are discussed and the use of continuous simulation of hydrologic data in meeting these information needs is reviewed. For most planning efforts data on probability of occurrence of events of various magnitudes is required and in most urban situations this can only be provided by use of a continuous simulation model.
