Data availability.
The DEM was acquired from Bhuvan, Indian Geo-Platform (https://bhuvan-app3.nrsc.gov.in/data/download/index.php, Bhuvan, 2021) of Indian Space Research Organisation, last access: 30 November 2021. Values of Unit Hydrograph are obtained from the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model; Routing: Unit Hydrograph (UH) file (https://vic.readthedocs.io/en/vic.4.2.d/Documentation/Routing/UH/, UH-VIC, 2021). Daily gridded rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature data used in this study can be obtained from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) (https://www.imd.gov.in, India Meteorological Department, 2021, home page/rainfall and temperature information). Wind speed data used in this study can be obtained from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.pressure.html, NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory, 2021). The source code for VIC-3L version 4.2.d is available from GitHub (https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/releases/tag/VIC.4.2.d, UW-Hydro, 2021).
