“…SWMM is a dynamic and distributed model for simulating runoff quantity and quality. It has been widely used to study different rainfall-runoff issues (Giron as et al, 2010;Peterson and Wicks, 2006;Shrestha et al, 2013). Its hydraulic engine can nicely handle the flow in artificial waterways with different engineering structures.…”

“…However, it is desirable to integrate the different types of models to achieve a better solution, from the source regions of a catchment and the sewage networks, to rivers, estuaries and coastal basins. Although some commercial software packages, such as MIKE, Infoworks, SWMM and ISIS, have been developed, and various numerical models have been coupled using various linking techniques [52,53], these commercial tools are generally not open-source, and the additional processes for sediment and bacteria coupling cannot easily be calculated using such models. In addition, the integrated models for predicting the FIO transport processes and the fate of FIOs from upstream catchments to the coastal waters are rare.…”

Due to the increasing economic and cultural value of bathing waters and the shellfish industry in the UK and worldwide, water quality in estuarine and coastal waters has attracted considerable public attention in recent years. To obtain accurate predictions of the concentration distributions of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) in coastal waters for better management of bathing water compliance, it is necessary to build an integrated modelling system to predict the complete diffuse and point source inputs from river and catchment basins. In the present paper, details are given of the development of such an integrated modelling system for simulating the transport and decay processes of FIOs, from catchment areas upstream from the coastal region, in which a distributed catchment module, a 1D river network module and a 2D estuarine and coastal module are linked dynamically by boundary inputs and outputs. Extensive measured data from the catchments, river networks and estuaries have been collated to determine the model parameters. Verification results of the distribution of water levels, flows and velocities, and suspended sediment and Escherichia coli concentrations, at controlled monitoring sites are presented, which show that the integrated model predictions generally agree well with the measurements, although locally appreciable errors can occur. The model results also highlight the importance of including the flux of FIOs via sediments being an important factor in terms of assessing the quality of bathing waters. The main factors influencing the relatively high concentration values in the bathing region are analysed, based on the model predictions and measured data, with four categories of FIO concentration levels being reviewed.

“…Environmental software packages generally possess unique strengths and weaknesses, and it is often desirable to integrate complementary packages together (Whelan et al, 2014;Voinov and Shugart, 2013). For example, Shrestha et al (2013) developed an open modeling interface to combine the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), a watershed model with sophisticated agricultural runoff and water quality characteristics, and the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), which possesses a sophisticated representation of river, canal, and sewer hydraulics. Kim et al (2008) replaced the relatively simplistic groundwater representation in SWAT with the Modular Finite-Difference Flow (MODFLOW) groundwater model to improve SWAT's baseflow runoff representation.…”

a b s t r a c tThe Hydrological Simulation Program in Fortran (HSPF) is used extensively for the assessment of water quantity and water quality issues. Herein, the development of an open-source, cross-platform package for building input files, performing simulations, postprocessing and calibrating HSPF models using the Python Programming Language is presented. The flexible nature of Python opens the door to automated preprocessing and calibration routines, visualization, multiprocessing, and larger-scale model development. The software is applied using Python scripts, which provides a flexible mechanism for learning and applying HSPF. An example application of the software was used to build a calibrated HSPF model the Hunting Creek watershed within the Patuxent River Basin, Maryland, USA, which is the example application distributed with the HSPF calibration software package HSPExp. A script of a few hundred lines was used to build a calibrated model comparable to HSPExp in a simulation time of less than two hours.
