Short summary

In this work we assess the flow-routing component (FlowRCM) of our delta formation model, DeltaRCM. We found that with the level of complexity reduction, FlowRCM is able to produce channel network-scale hydrodynamic details, which provide further insights into the connection between delta flow structures and the morphodynamic outcome.
