  • AQUATOX Setup Guide

    The new Guidance in AQUATOX Setup and Application provides a quick start guide to introduce major model features, as well as being a type of "cookbook" to guide basic model setup, calibration, and validation.

  • History and Generality of Aquatox

    Aquatic fate, toxicology, and ecosystem submodels were coupled to “close the loop,” representing both direct and indirect
    effects. the model is also a platform to which other environmental stressors may be added for extensive analysis.

  • AQUATOX 3.2 Installation Guide

    Additional details on installation may be found in the aquatox installation guide.

  • BASINS Download 4.1

    The current version of BASINS 4.1 was released in 2013. This page describes the installation requirements for BASINS 4.1.

  • BASINS Publications

    Although BASINS has been in use for the past 10 years, there has been limited modeling guidance on its applications for complex environmental problems, such as modeling impacts of hydro modification on water quantity and quality.

  • BASINS Case Study

    EPA developed a case study document for Cottonwood Creek Watershed, Idaho County, Idaho, to demonstrate the use of BASINS in developing a TMDL.

  • BASINS Technical Notes

    EPA has developed several technical notes that provide in depth information on a specific function in BASINS. Technical notes can be used to answer questions users may have, or to provide additional information on the application of features in BASINS.

  • BASINS Climate Assessment Tool Tutorials

    The BASINS Climate Assessment Tool (CAT) provides a flexible set of capabilities for exploring the potential effects of climate change on streamflow and water quality using different watershed models in BASINS.

  • BASINS Tutorials and Training

    A series of lectures and exercises on how to use BASINS for water quality modeling and watershed assessment. The lectures follow sequentially. Companion exercises are provided for users to practice different BASINS water quality modeling techniques.

  • Application of BASINS/HSPF to Data-scarce Watersheds

    Page for Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN, a comprehensive package for simulation of watershed hydrology & water quality for both conventional & toxic organic pollutants.

  • BASINS Core Manual

    BASINS was developed to promote better assessment and integration of point and nonpoint sources in watershed and water quality management.

  • What's Changed Between BASINS 4.0 and 4.1?
