Kirchner 2016 model

I open a new series of posts that analyze simple (or less simple) lumped (reservoir based) Hydrological Models. They are Dynamical Systems and they are well represented through Petri Nets introduced in Reservoirology #3. The present is the case of a simple two reservoirs model presented in Kirchner 2016 (from now on, K2016b).

Because of  its simplicity, K2016b is a nice case study to test and verify various aspect treated more abstractly in Rigon et al., 2016.  The presentation that contains K2016 is here.
