HBV hydrology model

Headwaters of the Pungwe River; HBV has been used to model this drainage basin

The HBV hydrology model, or Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning model, is a computer simulation used to analyze river discharge and water pollution. Developed originally for use in Scandinavia,[1][2] this hydrological transport model has also been applied in a large number of catchments on most continents.[3][4]

Discharge Modelling

This is the major application of HBV, and has gone through much refinement.[5] It comprises the following routines:

HBV has been used for discharge modelling in many countries worldwide, including Brazil, China,[6] Iran,[7] Mozambique,[8] Sweden[9][10] and Zimbabwe.[11] The HBV has also been used to simulate internal variables such as groundwater levels.[12] The model has also been used for hydrological change detection studies.[13]

The HBV model exists in several versions. One version, which is especially useful for teaching, is HBV light.[14]

Sediment and Solute Modelling

The HBV model can also simulate the riverine transport of sediment and dissolved solids. Lidén simulated the transport of nitrogen, phosphorus and suspended sediment in Brazil, Estonia, Sweden and Zimbabwe.[15][16]
