HEC-HMS is a hydrologic modeling system that allows for event and continuous modeling, with options for lumped or distributed modeling. It supports both conceptual and empirical models, as well as measured and fitted parameter models. This system includes various loss rate functions, basin and precipitation data inputs, and baseflow models.

HYDROLOGIC MOELING SYSTEM HEC-HMS
Event or Continuous • An Event Model simulates a single storm • A Continuous Model simulates a longer period, predicting watershed response both during and between precipitation events
Lumped or Distributed • A Distributed Model is one in which the spatial (geographic) variations of characteristics and processes are considered explicitly. • A Lumped Model is where these variations are averaged or ignored.
Conceptual Model • A Conceptual Model is built upon a base of knowledge of the pertinent physical, chemical, and biological processes that act on the input to produce the output
Empirical Model • An Empirical Model is built upon observation of input and output, without seeking to represent explicitly the process.
Measured-Parameter • A Measured-Parameter Model is one in which model parameters can be determined from system properties, either by direct measurement or by indirect methods that are based upon measurements.
Fitted-Parameter • A Fitted-Parameter Model includes parameters that cannot be measured. Instead parameters must be found by fitting the model with observed values of the input and output.
