 Next Scheduled Workshop:
BASINS/HSPF Training Workshop
August 9-13,2010
St. Paul, Minnesota
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 is 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.

Registration
The workshop is free, but space is limited and prior registration is required. To request space in the workshop, please email Doris Jean Quiring at AQUA TERRA Consultants (phone: 650-962-1864).
To request a seat at the workshop you MUST submit the following:
- A brief statement explaining your interest in BASINS/HSPF
- Name, title, organization and address
- Contact information: phone, fax, email
Registration requests must be received by 25 June 2010. Final registrants will be confirmed and notified of their acceptance by 2 July 2010, at the latest and provided travel and hotel information at that time.
Prerequisites
Workshop participants should have a basic understanding of watershed hydrology and water quality processes.
Accommodations and Travel
Local hotel and travel information will be provided to registrants in August when confirmed. All attendees must pay their own travel and lodging expenses.
Looking for hands-on training for your HSPF and BASINS Applications?
Or, do you need training in other modeling tools, techniques and strategic planning?
AQUA TERRA conducts workshops around the globe to train individuals and organizations on the use of the Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN (HSPF), the Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources (BASINS), and other model tools and techniques. Workshops are customized to meet the technical needs of the attendees.
Examples of an HSPF Workshop Syllabus:
Training on the use of the Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN (HSPF) is available for students, engineers, scientists, and planners in water resources and water quality management. Topics addressed in the workshops typically include HSPF background and development, simulation algorithms, data needs, data management capabilities, and a thorough examination of the HSPF application process. This latter topic covers development of a modeling strategy, types and sources of data needed, identification and development of critical model parameters, the model calibration/verification process, evaluation of management alternatives, and interpretation of results.
