✦ Synopsis
The authors have improved the equation of peak flow rate in CREAMS, which was originally developed on gentle slopes, for use on the Loess Plateau of China, a steep area, by employing non-linear regression analysis. The proposed model has yielded a model efficiency of 0Ð94. The authors have proposed their model only considering the criterion that gives the highest performance statistic. However, logical and rational thinking should not be overlooked. The following points may shed light for the improvement of the paper.

## Abstract Peak flow rate from watersheds is an important criterion used to develop soil conservation plans and to design engineering projects. A peak flow rate equation used in the CREAMS model, with four parameters, can be employed to predict peak flow rate. The purpose of this study was to test
