Application of HSPF-AGCHEM Module Within the WMS for the LeSueur Basin

Abstract

This technical note presents the results of the incorporation of the Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) AOCHEM modules into the Watershed Modeling System (WMS). HSPF allows simulation of processes that affect water quality. Often the most significant of these processes are agriculture and chemical processes that take place on agricultural land segments. Such processes include application of pesticides and fertilizers. Included in HSPF are three modules that collectively are referred to as the AGCHEM modules: the PEST (pesticides) module, the NITR (nitrogen) module, and the PHOS (phosphorus) module. The AGCHEM modules allow users to model the processes that take place as part of agricultural practices.
