Parameter Database for HSPF Water Quality Applications
Client: U.S. EPA
Office of Science and
Technology, Washington, DC
AQUA TERRA Consultants is supporting
U.S. EPA's Office of Science and Technology by collecting and
organizing a database of
HSPF parameter values, with an emphasis on
water quality, as part of a research effort to develop guidance
for HSPF and BASINS users. We are searching for watersheds to
which HSPF has been applied and calibrated at any scale, anywhere
in North America. The purpose of the database will be to provide
future HSPF and BASINS users with the best possible starting point
for developing HSPF parameter values for additional studies on
watersheds that have already been modeled, or for modeling studies
of new watersheds that have similar characteristics/settings to
previously calibrated and simulated watersheds. For each watershed
that has been simulated using HSPF, selected parameters will be
extracted from the User's Control Input, and stored along with
additional characterization data that may be interactively viewed
by HSPF users via a stand-alone software product, or as a tool
available within the BASINS framework.
