I identified the sinks in my terrain based on the DEM (grid) by using the 'fill'-tool and substracting the original DEM from the filled DEM. I also identified watersheds as well as flow paths.

Now i want to model which water level each sink will have in case of a specific rain event. Can any of you recommend a understandable tutorial how to do that in ArcGIS 10.2 or explain the procedure for me?

You would help me so much!

Thank you in advance

I'm afraid you can't do this with the help of ArcGIS. You would need hydrological Software.
