Water Quality Analysis Software used in this Project to Model the Transport of Heavy Metals

WASP is one of the most widely used water quality models in the United States and throughout the world. Because of the models capabilities of handling multiple pollutant types it has been widely applied in the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL). WASP has capabilities of...

The Hydrological Modeling Software used in this project (HEC-HMS )

The Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) is designed to simulate the complete hydrologic processes of dendritic watershed systems. The software includes many traditional hydrologic analysis procedures such as event infiltration, unit hydrographs, and hydrologic routing. HEC-HMS also...
