components, such as surface runoff, interflow and base flow, are adjusted during calibration to improve the accuracy of the model based on real-world observations. The water level data measured at the monitoring gages located on the Congo Valley River (upstream of Congo Cross Bridge) and George Brook (upstream of the Pike Street Bridge) were used to calibrate the hydrologic component of the XPSWMM model.
