Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In this paper, Dynamic simulation model of channel leakage based on multiple regression (Manuscript ID: sustainability-2592890), in which the effects of dynamic changes in flow and soil moisture content factors on channel leakage losses were evaluated. Here are some comments that may help improve this manuscript as follows,

1.        The achievement, finding, or novelty of this work should be presented and highlighted in the abstract. The abstract should be summarized and simplified to some major findings or important outcome with specific data supporting.

2.        The English writing should be hardly improved and polished to clearly express the main idea of this work.  

3.        The timeliness of this work should be improved with recently published papers, the references in current version should be renewed, for example,  references focusing on the effect of porous structure parameters on the water transport behavior (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpowsour.2022.231121; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpowsour.2023.233077), which could be used to support the conclusion stated in section2.4.

4.        Following the last question, among these influencing factors,  is it possible to figure out the sensitivity degree, in other words, the dominant and secondary factors.

5.        The punctuation and typestyle should be well revised and double-checked to offer a correct format. For example, in line 186, a comer was followed by a capital T. furthermore, capital and lowercase were mixed-use in the whole paper for the word Figure.

6.        The conclusion should be clear, concise, and conclusive, rather than a wordy and massive repeat of the result content.

Major revision

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear authors, I thank you for allowing me to evaluate this good work.

Some hypothesis of the wok can be argued at the end of the introductory part.

The discussion should be improved and the results compared with other studies already reported.

It is possible to include the type of soil, its chemical characteristics and relate them to the retention capacity or migration of moisture and water.

Metrological acronyms must be written properly.
