Abstract
Present paper analyzes hydrologic response of alternate land development scenarios modeled using HSPF model. The study is conducted in southwest Virginia as part of a multi-disciplinary project sponsored by the USEPA. A scenario generator is devised using macros in MSWord and Excel that made possible to create HSPF input files to analyze about 50 different land development scenarios. The impervious fraction was found to be the most important factor in influencing hydrologic response of the test watershed. Also, HSPF model simulation results were found sensitive to choice of simulation time step.
