BASINS/HSPF Training Workshop

July 14–18, 2008

Santa Clara, CA

On September 11, 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland, the Water Environment Federation, in collaboration with EPA, will be hosting a seminar, TMDL Development and Implementation: Current Progress and Future Direction .

The U.S. EPA's Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) is the primary watershed model included in the EPA BASINS modeling system. HSPF is a comprehensive watershed model of hydrology and water quality, simulating land surface and subsurface hydrologic and water quality processes, linked and closely integrated with corresponding stream and reservoir processes. BASINS/HSPF has been a major tool for watershed and TMDL assessments across the US.

This EPA-sponsored workshop will be led by expert instructors from AQUA TERRA Consultants. The workshop will consist of approximately 50 percent lecture and 50 percent computer exercises, and will focus on the application of HSPF through EPA’s BASINS system.
