Awesome Water Modeling

A curated list of open source tools for water modeling in engineering and science.

Environmental Focused

• EFDC+ - Environmental fluid dynamics code developed by DSI, LLC
• BASINS - Multipurpose environmental analysis system designed to help regional, state, and local agencies perform watershed- and water quality-based studies
• WELLS - Multi-Well Variable-Rate Pumping-Test Analysis Tool (Hydrogeology, Aquifer Hydrodynamics, Groundwater Water Supply)
• MOHID - Three-dimensional water modelling system, developed by MARETEC (Marine and Environmental Technology Research Center) at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST)
• EPANET - Performs extended-period simulation of the hydraulic and water quality behavior within drinking water distribution systems (e.g., pressurized pipe networks), which consist of pipes, nodes (junctions), pumps, valves, storage tanks, and reservoir

Teaching and Exploration

• PYRO2 - A framework for hydrodynamics explorations and prototyping

• CoastSat - CoastSat is an open-source software toolkit written in Python that enables users to obtain time-series of shoreline position at any coastline worldwide from 30+ years (and growing) of publicly available satellite imagery.
