Differentiable Parameter Learning (dPL) + HBV Hydrologic Model with Reservoir Module

This software is based on the original implementation of the Differentiable Parameter Learning (dPL) + HBV hydrologic model, as published by Feng et al. (2022) and hosted on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7091334.

In this version, we have extended the model by incorporating a reservoir module, enabling simulation of regulated catchments. This enhancement allows the model to better represent flow dynamics influenced by reservoir operations.

Credit and Attribution:
Full credit for the original model goes to Feng et al. (2022). Our contribution is limited to the addition of the reservoir module and related functionality.

Modifications Summary:

• Added reservoir module and operation logic

• Modified state-update structure to accommodate reservoir storage
