TRAGIC++ (interactive forest stand simulation program)

I know this may seem like a lot of focus on tree stuff, but canopy effects (such as interception) can be mighty important in HHWQ modeiling/simulation.

In TRAGIC++, the development of a forest is simulated as the collective dynamics of individually growing trees, each of which competes with the others for light, space and nutrients. Interaction is possible by removing or planting single or groups of trees and by changing the environmental conditions (light an nutrients).

Simple Light Interception Model (SLIM)

Another software package useful for developing precipitation interception and canopy evapotranspiration model input parameters. If nothing else, you can make some cool images with it.

Storm Damage Assessment Protocol (i-Tree)

The i-Tree Storm Damage Assessment Protocol Utility establishes a standard method to assess widespread damage immediately after a severe storm in a simple, credible, and efficient manner. This assessment method is adaptable to various community types and sizes, and it provides information on the time and funds needed to mitigate storm damage.

I haven't used or tried this software (unlike 95% of the other stuff on the HHWQ blog site) and the the i-Tree site looks a bit tree-huggerish, but this looks like a good tool.

USFS: Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS)

For those of you intersted in precipitation interception and canopy evapotranspiration, the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) can be a useful tool for developing input parameters.

SWRC-Fit (Soil Water Retention Curve Fitting)

The soil hydraulic parameters for analyzing water movement in variably saturated soil can be determined by fittig soil hydraulic model to a soil water retention curve. SWRC-Fit performs nonlinear fitting of 5 soil hydraulic models (Brooks and Corey, van Genuchten, Kosugi, Durner, Seki) to a measured soil water retention curve.

Fityk: peak fitting (curve fitting)

Nonlinear fitting of analytical functions (especially peak-shaped) to data (usually experimental data). There are also people using it to remove the baseline from data, or to display data only. Good for analysis/processing of bathymetric sounding/sonar data when setting up estuary/river models.

DESIRE: Direct Executing SImulation in REal Time

MIKE SWMM - available as freeware

DHI-WEH produces some excellent hydrology, hydraulic, and water quality software applications. Unfortunately, these are some of the most expensive such software applications available anywhere.

MIKE SWMM (from DHI-WEH) is now available free of charge to anyone who would like to use it: freeware. It is based on SWMM4.4x and does not support the latest version of SWMM (5.x).

The company is focusing development resources on MIKE URBAN, phasing out MIKE SWMM, MOUSE, and MIKE STORM.
