The Earth's freshwater systems, as sources of potable water, hydroelectric power and food, are of great importance to human society.
Our research is focused on the linkages between climate, land cover, and the behavior of whole watersheds - including lakes, wetlands, rivers and groundwater systems. In particular, we are interested in how land use and variations in climate can affect the availability and quality of fresh water resources. In order to help answer these questions, we developed computer modeling tools to examine the impact of human activities on freshwater supplies across the globe.
The THMB (Terrestrial Hydrology Model with Biogeochemistry) model (formerly known as HYDRA), simulates the flow of water through groundwater systems, rivers, lakes and wetlands. THMB is one of the few hydrological models that simulate the complete freshwater system.
THMB (HYDRA) is described in
