The University of California Center for Hydrologic Modeling (UCCHM) is a campus-wide hydrologic modeling research center, located at the University of California, Irvine. The models and modeling frameworks developed at the center address the urgent environmental and health issues related to water availability, such as how water availability ...
The scale of the model is 1:1000 on the horizontal axis and 1:100 on the vertical axis. The model operates at a time scale of 1:100. [6] The model is distorted by a factor of ten between the horizontal and vertical scales. The distortion is designed into the model to ensure a proper hydraulic flow over the tidal flats and shallows.
A hydrologic model is a simplification of a real-world system (e.g., surface water, soil water, wetland, groundwater, estuary) that aids in understanding, predicting, and managing water resources. Both the flow and quality of water are commonly studied using hydrologic models.

James S. (Jay) Famiglietti is the former director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. Prior to that he was the Senior Water Scientist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA [1] and a professor of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine.
In 2003, he was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for developing flood-forecasting models used worldwide in hydrologic services. [citation needed] In 2005 Sorooshian was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal [4] and in 2006 was awarded the Robert E. Horton Memorial Lectureship award by the American Meteorological Society. [5]
HydroGeoSphere (HGS) is a 3D control-volume finite element groundwater model, and is based on a rigorous conceptualization of the hydrologic system consisting of surface and subsurface flow regimes. [1] [2] The model is designed to take into account all key components of the hydrologic cycle.
