2BASINS
- BASINS is a multipurpose environmental analysis
system for use by regional, state, and local
agencies in performing watershed and
water-quality based studies. - Integrates
- GIS ARC View
- Extensive Database for the entire US
- Water Quality Models Tools
3Components of BASINS
- Nationally derived databases with Data Extraction
tools and Project Builders - Assessment Tools (TARGET, ASSESS, and Data
Mining) that address large and small-scale
characterization needs - BASINS Utilities including watershed Delineation,
import, Landuse reclassification, DEM
reclassification - Watershed Characterization Reports
- Non-Point Source Model (NPSM) and Water Quality
Model (QUAL2E)
4Non Point Source ModelNPSM (HSPF v11)
- HSPF is a very complex model. However, it is
structurally modular permitting the user to
isolate and focus on elements of interest while
bypassing other modules and their activities. - The model considers a basin or watershed
comprising of 2 segments - Land Segment pervious and Impervious
- Water body (Streams, lakes, reservoirs)
- HSPF Modules
- PERLAND the module that simulates pervious
land segment - IMPLAND the module that simulates impervious
land - segment
- RCHRES the module that routes runoff through
reservoir while simulating instream
processes
5Hydrology in NPSM
- Hydrologic Components
- Rainfall or Snow
- Interception
- Depression Storage
- Evapotranspiration
- Infiltration
- Surface Storage
- Runoff
- Interflow
- Groundwater Flow
6Objectives
- Run BASIN/HSPF modeling program and evaluate
runoff predictions using BASINS default
parameters - Evaluate the sensitivity of key hydrologic
parameters - Calibrate the model
- Evaluate the calibrated model
7Site Description- Craypan Watershed
in Missouri
- Located within Monroe and Shelby County in North
Central Missouri - Encompasses 111 sq.mi. (71,204 acres)
- A tributary of the North Fork of the Salt River,
which empties into Mark Twain Lake
8Soil, Landuse, and Topograph
9Delineation of the Sub-watershed
Crooked Creek
- based on the RF1 and RF3 reach networks

13Runoff by Default values on the simulation
The default parameters are largely divided into
three categories Water Balance, Groundwater, and
Surface Runoff.

15Future Work
- According to Crooked Creek Watershed Project,
an atrazine, sediment, and nutrient loading are
concerning in this watershed. In the future,
when simulating this model, we should consider
important environmental parameters.
