This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) is an analytical tool designed to simulate hydrology and water quality in natural and man-made systems. HSPF is used to apply mathematical models to simulate the movement of water, sediment, and other constituents through watersheds. This analysis helps predict possible environmental problems in the watershed. With the growing need to care for and monitor the effects of man on the environment, it became apparent that a method for rapid analysis of those effects was needed. The Watershed Modeling System (WMS) interface creates a way for the user to input a multitude of parameters into the input file and then to run HSPF. The input parameters are linked to all the tools within WMS including automated basin delineation and parameter definition using a graphical user interface. As mentioned above, the purpose of including an interface to HSPF in WMS is to provide a way for engineers to delineate a water-shed and set up an HSPF model quickly. The watershed delineation tools, as well as the Geological Information System tools, in WMS allow automated development of much of the input necessary for HSPF. However, several new tools and dialogs have been added to complete the HSPF input data. To begin an HSPF simulation in WMS, the HSPF data must be initialized for the watershed model. This is a simple procedure that involves the click of a button within the HSPF Global Options dialog box. Once the data are initialized, the user may access the various dialog boxes within the HSPF interface. The following sections will describe the input dialogs involved in the interface and will explain the expected input parameters. It is recommended that the user consult the HSPF documentation to receive a complete description of how HSPF uses the parameters.

Download or read book Simulation Modeling for Watershed Management written by James Westervelt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discussion of the role of modeling in the management process, with an overview of state-of-the-art modeling applications. The first chapters provide a background on the benefits and costs of modeling and on the ecological basis of models, using historical applications as examples, while the second section describes the latest models from a wide selection of environmental disciplines. Since management frequently requires the integration of knowledge from many different areas, both single discipline and multidiscipline models are discussed in detail, and the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the issues and alternatives in choosing, applying, and evaluating models. Land and watershed managers as well as students of forestry, park management, regional planing and agriculture will find this a thorough and practical introduction to all aspects of modeling.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of the watershed water quality model Hydrologic Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) into the Watershed Modeling System (WMS) was initiated as part of an overall goal of the Water Quality Research Program to provide water quality capabilities within the framework of a comprehensive graphical modeling environment for conducting hydrologic and water quality analysis. The WMS interface creates a way for the user to input a multitude of parameters into the input file and then to run HSPF to get the required output. The input parameters are linked to all the tools within WMS, including automated basin delineation and parameter definition using a graphical user interface. The objective of the interface developed in WMS is to provide graphical representation of HSPF data, as well as automate the definition of many of the required parameters. Many of the basic variables required for HSPF input are computed as part of WMS's basic functionality; additionally, specialty functions have been added to WMS to enable the usage of HSPF directly with data output from WMS. This report describes the initial linkage of HSPF into the WMS.

Book excerpt: Watershed modeling is at the heart of modern hydrology, supplying rich information that is vital to addressing resource planning, environmental, and social problems. Even in light of this important role, many books relegate the subject to a single chapter while books devoted to modeling focus only on a specific area of application. Recognizing the
Download or read book Primer Using Watershed Modeling System WMS for Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis GSSHA Data Development WMS 6 1 and GSSHA 1 43C written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is a primer for use of the Watershed Modeling System (WMS) interface with the physically based, distributed-parameter hydrologic model Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA). The primary purpose of this primer is to describe how the WMS interface is used to develop inputs and analyze output from the GSSHA model. This primer also provides a brief description of the GSSHA model including the overall model formulation, processes that can be simulated, and input formats for files not supported by WMS. Along with the WMS 'how-to' information, the primer provides hints on appropriate values to use in a GSSHA simulation, potential problem areas, and trouble shooting suggestions. However, this primer is not meant to be a substitute for the GSSHA User's Manual, which should be consulted for specific information on the GSSHA model. Many of the concepts used in the GSSHA model are complex, and an in-depth knowledge of the processes involved and the solution methods available are critical for successful application of the model. It is highly recommended that users obtain and read the GSSHA User's Manual before attempting to use the GSSHA model. In addition, many of the procedures outlined in this primer are described in greater detail in the WMS Help File. User's should be aware that the GSSHA model is always in development and is constantly being improved, refined, and updated with new ideas. Typically, linkage with the WMS interface is the last task completed in new model developments, after development, implementation, and testing of the new feature in GSSHA are complete. Therefore, WMS may not support new developments in the GSSHA model. Some files that the GSSHA model uses, such as the rainfall and hydrometeorological data files for long-term simulations, are not supported by the WMS interface. Files that WMS does not support are pointed out in the primer and also in the User's Manual.

This book was released on 1999-04-28 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergence of a toxic organism like pfisteria in tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay has focused public attention on potential hazards in our water. More importantly, it has reminded us of the importance of the entire watershed to the health of any body of water and how political boundaries complicate watershed management. New Strategies for America's Watersheds provides a timely and comprehensive look at the rise of "watershed thinking" among scientists and policymakers and recommends ways to steer the nation toward improved watershed management. The volume defines important terms, identifies fundamental issues, and explores reasons why now is the time to bring watersheds to the forefront of ecosystem management. In a discussion of scale and scope, the committee examines how to expand the watershed from a topographic unit to a framework for integrating natural, social, and economic perspectives as they share the same geographic space. The volume discusses: Regional variations in climate, topography, demographics, institutions, land use, culture, and law. Roles and interaction of federal, state, and local agencies. Availability or lack of pertinent data. Options for financing. The committee identifies critical points in watershed planning to ensure appropriate stakeholder involvement and integration of science, policy, and environmental ethics.

Download or read book Modeling Onsite Wastewater Systems at the Watershed Scale written by John McCray and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this User’s Guide is to provide guidance on modeling watershed-scale problems associated with decentralized wastewater-treatment systems (DWTS), with a particular focus on onsite wastewater systems (OWS). The guide focuses on modeling transport and fate of the nutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) because these are the most common OWS constituents of concern, and because these pollutants are regulated in surface waters (N and P) and in ground water (N). However, limited but useful information is also provided regarding the modeling of organic wastewater contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other household products. It provides some general information on modeling bacterial pollutants. The guide can be used by decision makers to determine whether relatively simple screening models (presented in Appendix A) are sufficient for use in the decision-making process, or if sophisticated models (presented in Appendix B) are more appropriate. The document provides guidance about the type of model that should be used for particular scenarios, and the data requirements for model implementation. The guide is also useful to modeling experts by providing guidance on important issues such as conceptual-model development, mathematical-model selection, modelsensitivity analyses, model uniqueness, and calibration. Finally, the guide provides some real-world and hypothetical case studies that can demonstrate the usefulness of using watershed-scale models, and provide templates for certain common scenarios relevant to the decentralized wastewater treatment community.
