BASINS 4.0 Description
Installation software that contains the BASINS Version 4.0 system, data download tool, full documentation in the pulldown help menu, and the tutorial project and data (HUC-02060006) is now available. BASINS 4.0 contains the installation program for an open source GIS program (MapWindow Exit EPA Disclaimer). At this time the only models available in BASINS 4.0 are WinHSPF and PLOAD and the tools GenScn and WDMUtil. BASINS 4.0 also contains a link to AQUATOX.

(WinHSPF is the Windows interface to HSPF Version 12. GenScn is a model post processing and scenario analysis tool that is used to analyze output from HSPF and SWAT. WDMUtil is used to manage and create the watershed data management files (WDMs) that contain the meteorological data and other time series data used by HSPF. PLOAD is a GIS and spreadsheet tool to calculate nonpoint sources of pollution in watersheds. AQUATOX is a fate and effects model for aquatic ecosystems.)
The biggest change in BASINS 4.0 is the open source GIS software and the ability to transfer and share GIS standard data (shapefile, dbf, and GeoTiff) between other licensed GIS software. Also a Windows-based Climate Assessment Tool, for assessing potential impacts of changing climate on stream flows and pollutant loads has been added as a "plug-in" program which interfaces with WinHSPF.
