TL;DR: In this paper, the MC model is applied to three different types of watersheds to demonstrate its characteristics and its flexibility of use, and the results show that the model can integrate the hydrological system under study for accurate representation of reality.
Abstract: The MC model, developed to simulate the simultaneous movements of surface and groundwater flows in a watershed, is applied to three different types of watersheds to demonstrate its characteristics and its flexibility of use. The first case reports on an application where the surface flow and the groundwater flow are of the same importance, the second case reports on one where the surface runoff dominates and lastly we present a study where the groundwater flows are dominant. In each case, we place emphasis on how the MC model can integrate the hydrological system under study for an accurate representation of reality. Examples of results are also included.

TL;DR: The MC model as discussed by the authors is a deterministic physically-based model that integrates surface flow, streamflow, flow in the non-saturated zone, groundwater flow and the interactions between rivers and water tables.
Abstract: This article discusses the joint modeling of surface and groundwater flows by presenting and describing the MC model. The purpose of this deterministic physically based model is to simulate the behavior of available water resources for one or many watersheds. The model integrates surface flow, streamflow, flow in the non-saturated zone, groundwater flow and the interactions between rivers and water tables. Its formulation and its structure, especially its nested square meshes of variable sizes, confer a great deal of flexibility to the model; this facilitates adaptation to variable modeling scales and to a wide range of geological, geographical and climatological conditions.
