HydroFOSS: a GIS embedded approach for Free & Open Source Hydrological modeling ############################################################################### HydroFOSS is: 1)distributed – the hydrological variables are continuously described in the space. 2)Physically based – all the involved variables have a physical meaning. 3)Continuous – operates over an extended period of time, determining flow rates and conditions during both runoff periods and periods of no surface runoff. 4)Modular – is a combination of different modules describing the processes involved in the rainfall-runoff process. 5)GIS embedded – is fully developed into a GIS system by using the GIS's commands and library functions. 6)Open Source – developed by using exclusively Free and Open Source Software.
