SWRRBWQ

Simulator for Water Resources in Rural Basins

Predict the effect of management decisions on water and sediment yields with reasonable accuracy on large, ungaged rural watersheds.

Daily time step - long term simulations (1-100 years)
Basins subdivided to account for differences in soils, land use, crops, topography, weather, etc.
Soil profile can be divided into ten layers
Basins of several hundred square miles can be studied
Weather generation is optional
Weather & Soils-5 databases are direct access
IBM-PC version takes 5 sec/year on 80386 machine with coprocessor
Nutrient and pesticide input/output
Groundwater model added
