INTEGRATED HYDROLOGIC MODEL

The Integrated Hydrologic Model (IHM) is a powerful computing tool that is designed to simulate all surface and subsurface processes of the hydrologic cycle and their dynamic interactions within a Windows operating system environment. The IHM couples two well established and broadly used model codes to simulate hydrologic processes: Hydrologic Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) to simulate surface and vadose zone processes and MODFLOW to simulate saturated groundwater processes. IHM simulations have durations ranging between 1 day to many years or decades and model domains ranging from 0.01 to 10,000 square miles. The IHM represents the third generation of HSPF-MODFLOW coupling which was first developed in the late 1980s and is the product of a collaborative effort between Tampa Bay Water and the Southwest Florida Water Management District... The Integrated Hydrologic Model (IHM) can provide unique insights into the inter-relationships for the climate-land-water system and how climate..
