Modeling hydrology is the use of computers to simulate the behavior of water on earth.
Hydrologic modeling has been employed for a long time for things like predicting the risk of floods given a certain amount of rain or how building structures like bridges might impact stream flow.
Research is underway to adapt modeling tools for use in mapping streams.

The above image is a rendering of a lidar-derived digital surface model overlaying a digital elevation model of a forested stream channel in central Iowa. The vegetation makes optical identification of the presence of water in channels difficult.

The image is a rendering of a lidar-derived digital elevation model of a low relief stream channel and associated National Hydrography Dataset line features in central Iowa. The low topographic relief makes flow accumulation modeling of surface water difficult.
