Physically-based hydrological models can be understood as an upscaling exercise of hydrodynamic numerical models. The latter have experienced great development in the past two decades, which together with the accelerated growth of computational power, now enable to tackle catchment and even regional scale hydrological modelling based on such tools. This talk summarizes the ongoing efforts to deploy an open-source, scalable physically-based hydrodynamic solver for catchment scale hydrology and water mediated transport called SERGHEI, demonstrating some key applications concentrated on very highly resolved surface flow hydrodynamics and transport, recent developments with subsurface flow, and highlighting new opportunities and open challenges.
