Hydraulic Modeling Package (HMP) to Accompany
Water Resources Engineering by Wurbs and James (2002)

The Hydraulic Modeling Package (HMP) is described in Section 1.4.5 on page 37 of
the textbook. The HMP is a set of Fortran computer programs implementing methods
outlined in Chapters 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. The individual programs are introduced
in conjunction with example problems. The computer programs and examples to
which they are applied are listed in Table 1.8 on page 36 of the textbook. The
Fortran programs are provided here as both Fortran source code files and
executable files compiled to run on MS-DOS based microcomputers. Input data sets
for the example problems are provided along with the programs.

From Microsoft (MS) Windows Explorer, a mouse click on an executable (extension
exe) file runs the program. Optionally, the program may be executed directly
from an MS-DOS window accessed through MS Windows. The programs automatically
read the input file (.dat) with the same root name and create an output file
(.out) with the same root name. For example, the first program listed in Table
1.8 on page 36 of the textbook is SIMEQ from Chapter 4, which is applied in
Example 4.13 on pages 160-165. The program SIMEQ is executed by clicking the
file SIMEQ.EXE, which automatically reads the Example 4.13 input data from the
file SIMEQ.DAT, that must be stored in the same folder (directory). SIMEQ
creates the output file SIMEQ.OUT, which is stored in the same folder. The
results are accessed by reading SIMEQ.OUT with any editor.
