RRMT Versions of the PDM, IHACRES, TFM and other conceptual model structures can also be found
in the Imperial College Rainfall-Runoff Modelling Toolbox for MATLAB (see www3.imperial.ac.uk/
ewre/research/software/toolkit).
TFM is a program for the analysis of rainfall-discharge catchment data based on Transfer Function
Model concepts, similar to those used in the data-based mechanistic (DBM) modelling approach of Sec-
tion 4.3. It is available at www.lec.lancs.ac.uk/research/catchment and aquatic processes/software.php
Much of the DBM modelling functionality has also been incorporated in the CAPTAIN toolbox
for MATLAB. CAPTAIN was developed by Peter Young and colleagues at Lancaster University and
provides a variety of tools for non-stationary time series analysis, system identification, signal pro-
cessing and forecasting using unobserved components models, time variable parameter models, state-
dependent parameter models and multiple-input transfer function models. CAPTAIN is available at
www.es.lancs.ac.uk/cres/captain.
Chapter 5 Distributed Models
DYNAMIC FLOOD ROUTING MODELS There are a number of commercial packages that solve the 1D
or 2D depth averaged St Venant equations for flow routing in channels. A freely available 1D package
is the Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). It was the first of HEC's
Next Generation (NexGen) software packages and can be used for steady flow and unsteady flow simu-
lations; sediment transport/mobile bed computation; and water temperature modeling. It is available at
www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/.
HYDRUS Early versions of HYDRUS 1D and 2D are available for free download at http://igwmc.
mines.edu/software/igwmcsoft/. More recent versions are only available commercially.
KINEROS The KINEROS overland flow and sediment transport distributed model can be downloaded
from www.tucson.ars.ag.gov/kineros/.
MODFLOW The USGS groundwater simulation package, MODFLOW, has a variety of options,
including linked distributed rainfall-runoff predictions, particle tracking transport calculations and
model calibration options. A number of companies have also packaged MODFLOW within a user-
friendly interface offered as a commercial product. MODFLOW can be found at http://water.usgs.gov/
nrp/gwsoftware/modflow.html.
Chapter 6 Distribution Function and Semi-Distributed Models
GREEN KENUE Green Kenue from Environment Canada embodies an HRU-based hydrological
model within a GIS framework. It is available at www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/ibp/chc/software/kenue/green-
kenue.html.
SWAT The official Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) web site contains full details of various
versions of the model (including versions where the model is embedded within a GIS framework),
downloads, training courses, publications, etc. SWAT is available at http://swatmodel.tamu.edu/.
TOPKAPI A commercially available version is provided by Progea at www.progea.net/prodotti.
