Presentation of research at scientific meeting.
Description:
The Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) is a semi-distributed watershed model, which simulates hydrology and water quality processes at user-specified spatial and temporal scales. Although HSPF is a comprehensive and highly flexible model, a number of investigators noted the model’s limited capabilities in representing and simulating best management practices (BMPs), such as detention basins and infiltration trenches. We present herein a stand-alone web-based HSPF BMP Toolkit that allows HSPF to represent and simulate storage and infiltration BMPs in a more comprehensive way.
