HydroPlatform is an open-source software platform for water resource management models.  

The program manages and displays network model data inputs and result outputs.  It can be loosely (export functions) or tightly (add-ins) coupled with models.  This allows running models independently or from within the model platform.

In the future this website will allow accessing open-source, freeware or commercial water management models that connect to HydroPlatform.

Project objectives:

  • Make models easier to build, use and share
  • Help modelers focus on model development, not data management and visualization
  • Help build and use models collaboratively

Software goals:

  • Efficiently enter, manage, verify and visualize model data
  • Intuitive graphical user-interface run by object-oriented code
  • Use open-source components for maintainability, transparency and to lower costs
  • Maintain generality and independence from specific models and software
  • Function with network (node-link) models in any field (transport, energy, trade, ...).
