<p><strong><em> Please note: This software is no longer being updated or maintained, and is out of date. </em></strong></p> <p>HIRO2 (Hortonian Infiltration and Run-Off/On) is a spatially distributed rainfall-runoff model for event-based studies of space-time watershed processes. A grid-based routing hierarchy was defined over the watershed using the D-infinity contributing area algorithm. Computation of ponding time was included to handle variable run-on and rainfall intensity. The Green-Ampt model was adopted to calculate surface infiltration, and the kinematic wave model was used to route Hortonian runoff and channel flow. The model can handle input rainfall, soil parameters, surface roughness, and other properties that vary in space and time. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: HIRO2.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=239&modecode=30-12-30-25">https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=239&modecode=30-12-30-25</a> </p><p>download page</p></li></ul><p></p>
