The tables were created for Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) Water Quality ManagementStrategy (Walker and Dougherty, 2008). This type <strong>of</strong> spreadsheet can be an effective tool for summarizing modelcharacteristics, communicating model capabilities and rationalizing the selection <strong>of</strong> the best model for a particularstudy.Table A.1 Sample <strong>Assessment</strong> Tool for Watershed and Receiving Water Model Capabilities (Part 1)Model Name AGNPS BASINS/ HSPF GAWSERSTORM/SWMMGRSM QUAL HYMOU <strong>of</strong> G/GRCA/Sponsor USDA US EPA S&A/OMNR US EPA/COE MOE/GRCA TUNSPrice Free Free $$-manual Free Free FreeDocumentation detailed detailed training guide detailed detailed detailedLatest Version ? 2.0/11.0 6.9 ? 2000 ?General Typeconceptual conceptual conceptual conceptual conceptualdistributed lumped distributedlumpedloading watershed watershedstream model watershedTime Scale continuous continuous continuous continuous continuous continuousfield t<strong>of</strong>ield t<strong>of</strong>ield toSpatial Scale watershed watershed watershed watershed stream reach watershedTable A.1 Sample <strong>Assessment</strong> Tool for Watershed and Receiving Water Model Capabilities (Part 2)Model NameWatershedModelRuralAreasUrbanAreasHydrologyQualityHydrologyGroundwaterInterflowSurface Run<strong>of</strong>fSnow Accum./meltEvapotranspirationErosion/TransportSoil ProcessesNutrientsBacteriaPesticidesHeavy MetalsOtherBMP <strong>Assessment</strong>GroundwaterInterflowSurface Run<strong>of</strong>fSnow Accum./meltEvapotranspirationAGNPSBASINS/HSPFGAWSERSTORM/SWMMGRSMQUALHYMOModelling Needs /Objectives*1 2 3 4 5X X X X X X X XX X X X X XX X X X X X X XX X X X X X XX X X X X X X XX X X X X XX X XX X X X X X XX X X X XX X XX X X X X XX X X X X XX X X X XX X X X X X X XX X X X X XX X X X X X X XX X X X X X XX X X X X X X X
