In GRASS5 not recommended, in GRASS6 + GRASS7 usable.

... please don't use them (from 2002 and very outdated).

They are better documented in the GRASS manual pages which are here:
 http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/r.sim.sediment.html
 http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/r.sim.water.html

Additionally, in the GRASS book (3rd ed., pp. 163-166) there is in the
section "5.5 Landscape process modeling" a paragraph on
"Process-based water flow and erosion modeling" discussing the
use with examples. Maybe your library has the book.
