Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment
Purdue University. College of Engineering.
"Designed to help people quantify the impact of land use change on the quantity and quality of their water. This tool uses the land use and a soil characteristic from the user along with thirty years of precipitation data to determine the average impact that a particular land use change or set of changes will have on both the annual runoff and the average amount of several non-point source pollutants." See also Short-term Runoff Tools that include SedSpec, an expert system for analyzing runoff and erosion problems, and a database of rainfall depths in the U.S.

Simulation Models, GIS and Nonpoint-Source Pollution
USDA. NAL. Water Quality Information Center.
A bibliography of 337 citations from the NAL catalog (AGRICOLA). Covers Jan 1991 - Dec 1993. Part II contains 176 citations on the topic from Jan 1994 - Oct 1994. Part III contains 196 citations from Nov 1994 - Sep 1995.
