Streamflow forecasting with HSPF modelling experience / by Howard Ng.: En13-5/87-140E-PDF
"The Hydrologic Simulation Program - Fortran (HSPF) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been applied for simulation of the hydrological response of an urbanizing watershed. The calibrated HSPF model was then applied to future land use development scenarios. It was noted that an expected increase in the impervious area in the watershed is unlikely to increase the volume of streamflow, but it would contribute to increases in flow peaks and the incidence of flooding. If the impervious area is doubled in the watershed, the flow peaks may increase by 20%"--Abstract.
