Did you know? The Austin Dam, was the first hydroelectric dam in Texas and was constructed in 1893 . On September 30, 1911, the dam failed and destroyed property, much of the town of Austin and resulted in the deaths of 78 people. A young immigrant girl named Mary Fran Simmons, warned many of the… Read More →
EPIC
Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model is a cropping systems model that was developed to estimate soil productivity as affected by erosion as part of the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act analysis for 1985. EPIC simulates approximately eighty crops with one crop growth model using unique parameter values for each crop. It predicts effects… Read More →

Soil and Water Assessment Tool
The Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a small watershed to river basin-scale model used to simulate the quality and quantity of surface and ground water and predict the environmental impact of land use, land management practices, and climate change. SWAT is widely used in assessing soil erosion prevention and control, non-point source pollution… Read More →
The Global Water Security Conference for Agricultural and Natural Resources

The purpose of this… Read More →
Regional Hydroclimate Model (RegHCM)
RegHCM is a physically-based, distributed, regional scale, fully-coupled atmospheric-hydrologic model. The model is used to simulate coupled atmospheric-land hydrologic processes in time and space continuously at climatic scales (10s – 100s of years) for the quantitative assessment of water balances under changing climatic conditions and land surface conditions over continental, country and watershed domains in terms of precipitation,… Read More →
Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)
SWMM is a physically-based, distributed, unsteady, continuous urban stormwater runoff quantity and quality model. The model is used in (i) designing and sizing drainage system components, including detention facilities; (ii) to generate non-point source pollutant loadings for TMDL studies; (iii) to evaluate BMP and LID stormwater controls to meet sustainability goals; – (iv) to alleviate… Read More →

HSPF User Manual
Description The Hydrological Simulation Program–FORTRAN (HSPF) is a set of computer codes that can simulate the nonpoint source polluant loads, hydrology, and associated aggreagate water quality, based on describing processes on pervious and impervious land surfaces, streams and well-mixed impoundments. The manual discusses the structure of the modeling system and presents detailed discussion of the… Read More →
WISTOO
WISTOO is an Integral distributed mathematical model used for (1) runoff hydrograph simulation at arbitrary valley cross-section, (2) spatial visualization of hydrological processes and (3) determination of influence of water reservoirs on runoff hydrograph from watershed. It is an Integral distributed model based on hydrodynamic equations describing processes: infiltration, surface runoff, subsurface runoff and water transformation in river network…. Read More →
