WAM is a tool that has been shown to be useful in the assessment of watershed-related properties. WAM was developed to allow engineers and planners to assess the water quality of both surface water and groundwater based on land use, soils, climate, and other factors. The model simulates the primary physical processes important for watershed hydrologic and pollutant transport. The WAM GIS-based coverages including:
-Land use,
-Soils,
-Topography,
-Hydrography,
-Basin and sub-basin boundaries,
-Point sources and service area coverages,
-Climate data, and
-Land use and soils description files.
