EPA Unveils New Open Source Watershed Management Program
- "The Environmental Protection Agency has released a new version of its acclaimed watershed management program, making it easier to use and more readily available. Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources (BASINS) is a multipurpose system that integrates environmental data, analytical tools, and modeling programs... BASINS 4.0 is a valuable tool for watershed and water quality-based analyses, including developing total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocations. Unlike earlier releases, BASINS 4.0 runs on non-proprietary, open source, free geographic information system (GIS) software, making the tool universally available to anyone interested in the system." More information about BASINS 4.0. - excerpt from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's News Brief from 4/23/07.
