Java-based modular oriented modelling framework system JAMS (Jena Adaptable Modelling System) Extended by incorporating a glacier sub-model to account for snow and glacier process (Nepal, et al. 2014). Applied in the Himalayan region (Nepal et al and Nepal 2016: Koshi, Tuitui, 2015: Marsyandi, Shrestha, 2016: Indus) RD1 (quick flow) surface runoff due to saturated access and infiltration access runoff and sealed areas excess runoff. RD2 (slow direct runoff) the lateral hypodermic runoff within soil zone. RG1 (fast base flow runoff) runoff from the upper part of an aquifer, which is more permeable due to weathering. RG2 (slow base flow runoff) runoff at the lower zone of the aquifer. Soil water module 7
