pyHS2MF6 is an open source, integrated hydrologic model. Integrated hydrologic modeling means simulating the full hydrologic cycle in terrestrial environments where both surface- and sub-surface water flow need to be represented. It is a dynamic coupling of two existing hydrologic models, HSPF and MODFLOW 6, in Python.
pyHS2MF6 currently only supports water movement and storage processes. Snow, frozen ground, and fate and transport processes and representations are not currently supported.
A design goal for pyHS2MF6 was to provide the capability to leverage existing HSPF watershed models and MODFLOW groundwater models. The desire to leverage these existing tools means that using pyHS2MF6 is complicated. The user needs to know how to use both building block programs before attempting an integrated simulation.
Code documentation, installation instructions, and a test case are provided on the associated Pages site.
