I need to simulate daily discharge of each stream delineated in GIS. I need to get the spatially distributed runoff using GIS based on kinematic wave approximation.
You can use Geo-HMS tool which is compatible with Arc GIS and there you do all the processing for the watershed and generate a project for HEC-HMS. After that you can export the project and do simulate discharge in HEC-HMS using Kinematic wave approach. Attached file would be helpful for you.
You could also use the distributed hydrological model wflow (HBV or sbm) implemented in the PCRaster Python framework. You can find more info at https://publicwiki.deltares.nl/display/OpenS/Home

I have your same issue and i'm looking papers and articles related to these topics. Thanks to the Geo-plug in provide by HEC i solved easly some problems. I attached the links for user manuals and for download the most usefull tools i found. (I also found interesting tutorials on Youtube)
You can use in each GIS pixel an analytically solved non-linear reservoir equation representing the kinematic wave solution at finite scales as described in:

For estimating discharge using GIS or Arc Hydro is scientifically not possible unless you use fully integrated and spatially distributed hydrological model like MIKE SHE (professional) or MIKE SHE (enterprise) to include all hydrological processes, e.g., surface/subsurface flow, river and drains flow, crops and vegetation layer integrated in it using at least 50x50m DEM.
Many hydrological models can be used for estmating discharge using GIS. The WEPP model can be used for watershed discretisation and you can use KINEROS model, ANSWERS model, CATHY model and others.
