+FUSE has a number of modeling decisions, with the following options:
+
+- RFERR: rainfall error
+	- additive_e: [Eq. n/a*]       additive rainfall error
+	- multiplc_e: [Eq. n/a*]       multiplicative rainfall error
+ 
+- ARCH1: upper-zone architecture
+	- onestate_1: [Eq. 1a, 2b]     upper layer defined by a single state variable, enables lower zone evap
+	- tension1_1: [Eq. 1b, 2b]     upper layer broken up into tension and free storage, enables lower zone evap
+	- tension2_1: [Eq. 1c, 2a]     tension storage sub-divided into recharge and excess, disables lower zone evap
+
+- ARCH2: lower-zone architecture
+	- unlimfrc_2: [Eq. 2a/2b, 6a]  baseflow reservoir of unlimited size (0-HUGE), fractional rate
+	- tens2pll_2: [Eq. 2c,    6b]  tension reservoir plus two parallel tanks; baseflow from two tanks only
+	- fixedsiz_2: [Eq. 2a/2b, 6c]  baseflow reservoir of fixed size, power recession
+	- topmdexp_2: [Eq. n/a**]      baseflow reservoir of fixed size, exponential recession
+	- unlimpow_2: [Eq. 2a/2b, 6d]  baseflow reservoir of unlimited size (0-HUGE), power recession
+
+- QSURF: surface runoff
+	- prms_varnt: [Eq. 9a]         PRMS variant (fraction of upper tension storage)
+	- arno_x_vic: [Eq. 9b]         ARNO/Xzang/VIC parameterization (upper zone control)
+	- tmdl_param: [Eq. 9c]         TOPMODEL parameterization (only valid for TOPMODEL qb)
+
+- QPERC: percolation
+	- perc_f2sat: [Eq. 4a]         water from (field capacity to saturation) available for percolation
+	- perc_w2sat: [Eq. 4b]         water from (wilting point to saturation) available for percolation
+	- perc_lower: [Eq. 4c, 4d]     perc defined by moisture content in lower layer (SAC)
+
+- ESOIL: evaporation
+	- sequential: [Eq. 3a, 3b]     sequential evaporation model
+	- rootweight: [Eq. 3c, 3d]     root weighting
+
+- QINTF: interflow
+	- intflwnone: [Eq. 5a]         no interflow
+	- intflwsome: [Eq. 5b]         interflow
+
+- Q_TDH: time delay
+	- no_routing: [Eq. n/a*]       no routing
+	- rout_gamma: [Eq. 13a, 13b]   use a Gamma distribution with shape parameter = 2.5
+
+- SNOWM: snow model
+	- no_snowmod: [Eq. n/a***]     no snow model
+	- temp_index: [Eq. n/a***]     temperature-index snow model
+
+Other flows:
+- bucket overflow: [Eq. 12a-g]      overflow from buckets with a maximum value, not a decision
+
+
+Notes:
+*    Not explicitly described in Clark et al. (2008). Look at QRAINERROR.F90 and UPDATE_SWE.F90 for rainfall error options. No routing is self-explanatory.
+**   Not explicitly described in Clark et al. (2008). Possibly added later?
+***  Not described in Clark et al. (2008) but introduced later in Henn et al. (2015).
