ModelMuse Version 5.0: Software Release

ModelMuse is a graphical user interface for several different groundwater modeling programs. ModelMuse has been updated to generate the input files for the parameter estimation software suite PEST when used with MODFLOW or SUTRA models, run PEST-based parameter estimation, and display the updated model inputs after parameter estimation. The PEST input files can also be used with PEST++ version 5 (

Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) version 5.2.1

The need to assess the effects of variability in climate, biota, geology, and human activities on water availability and flow can be assessed with computer models that simulate the hydrologic cycle at a watershed scale. The Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) is a deterministic, distributed-parameter, physical process-based modeling system developed to evaluate the response of various comb

GSFLOW: Coupled Groundwater and Surface-Water Flow Model, version 2.2.0

GSFLOW is a coupled Groundwater and Surface-Water Flow model based on the integration of the U.S. Geological Survey Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS; Markstrom and others, 2015) and the U.S. Geological Survey Modular Groundwater Flow Model (MODFLOW-2005, Harbaugh, 2005; MODFLOW-NWT, Niswonger and others, 2011). In addition to the basic PRMS and MODFLOW simulation methods, several additio

VMT Hydroacoustics Software

The Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) is a Matlab-based software for processing and visualizing ADCP data collected along transects in rivers or other bodies of water. VMT allows rapid processing, visualization, and analysis of a range of ADCP datasets and includes utilities to export ADCP data to files compatible with ArcGIS, Tecplot, and Google Earth.
