WMS:How to select a model

From XMS Wiki - http://wikis.aquaveo.com/xms/

Do I want to do hydrology or hydraulics?

1. Hydraulics:
   1. Do I want to do a simple dam break simulation?
      1. SMPDBK (Simplified Dam Break)
   2. Do I want to do floodplain delineation, hydraulics, or a more complicated dam break simulation?
      1. HEC-RAS
   3. Do I want to model storm drains?
      1. Do I need additional capability only available in xpswmm such as FHWA hydraulic, etc.?
         1. xpswmm
      2. Do I not need that additional capability?
         1. EPA-SWMM
2. Hydrology:
   1. Am I doing a small urban model?
      1. TR-55
      2. Rational
      3. MODRAT (LA County)
      4. OC Rational (Orange County, CA)
      5. NSS Urban (Statistical model)
      6. HEC-1 (OC Hydrograph)
      7. HEC-HMS
      8. SWMM
      9. TR-20
   2. Am I doing a rural model?
      1. NSS (Statistical model)
      2. HEC-1 (OC Hydrograph)
      3. HEC-HMS
      4. SWMM
      5. TR-20
   3. Am I interested in water quality, sediment transport, or the effects of wetlands on a hydrograph
      1. GSSHA
      2. HSPF (Water Quality only)
