Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN (HSPF) is a comprehensive package for simulation of watershed hydrology and water quality for both conventional and toxic organic pollutants.

  HSPF incorporates watershed-scale ARM and NPS models into a basin-scale analysis framework that includes fate and transport in one dimensional stream channels.

It is the only comprehensive model of watershed hydrology and water quality that allows the integrated simulation of land and soil contaminant runoff processes with in-stream hydraulic and sediment-chemical interactions.

The result of this simulation is a time history of the runoff flow rate, sediment load, and nutrient and pesticide concentrations, along with a time history of water quantity and quality at any point in a watershed. HSPF simulates three sediment types (sand, silt, and clay) in addition to a single organic chemical and transformation products of that chemical.


For gunzip'd and tar'd (i.e., bundled & compressed) Unix files, please use

$ gzip -dc [file.tar.gz] | tar xvf -

to uncompress & restore directories/files.

If you don't have GNU 'gunzip' installed in your system, please download GNU gzip program (GNU gzip 1.2.4 (tar file)) first, then uncompress the gunzip'd and tar'd model files.
