Is it a good point when Hydrology based journals allocate some reserved space for 'Historical observations/exposures/views' from old experts/veterans?

we need to strengthen our current hydrological knowledge by looking and having exposure into historical observations/exposures/statements which are once lost in the mists of time and needs to be...

From where I can get a ready made source code ('R" or in 'Python') for routing overland and channel runoff with kinematic wave concept?Suggestion pl ?

Even if there is some fortran or C code , that is welcome , as it will facilitate to a great extent, provided we later convert it to intended R or other syntax
