Clear Creek Solutions’ Clear Creek Solutions’ Hydrology ExpertiseHydrology Expertise
Clear Creek Solutions, Inc., provides complete range of hydrologic and stormwater modeling services.• Clear Creek specializes in continuous simulation hydrologic modeling.
• We have 30+ years of experience modeling complex hydrologic and stormwater problems.
• We created WWHM3 for Washington State Department of Ecology and are adapting it to model San Francisco Bay Area watersheds and facilities.
• We teach WWHM and HSPF workshops.
WWHM Introduction

WWHM Introduction
Developed for the 19 counties of western Washington.
Part of Ecology’sStormwater ManagementManual
WWHM Introduction
WWHM3 Standard is available free from the Washington State Department of Ecology web site:
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/
WWHM Background and Theory
Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual
Specifies a flow duration standard
Requires the use of Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) or equivalent
WWHM Background and Theory
Flow duration standard: based on erosive flows.
Erosive flow range: ½ of 2-year to 50-year flow.
WWHM Background and Theory
Flow Duration Analysis: Percent of time the flow exceeds a specific value.
Requires continuous simulation hydrology to compute flow duration.
WWHM Background and Theory
Continuous simulation hydrology models the entire hydrologic cycle for multiple years.
Stormwater runoff = surface runoff + interflow.
WWHM Capabilities
WWHM uses continuous simulation hydrology to compute stormwater runoff for both
predevelopment and post-development conditions.
Predevelopment Post-development
WWHM Capabilities
WWHM continuous simulation computations from HSPF (included in WWHM software).
HSPF runs in the background with calibrated parameter values and local meteorological data.
HSPF sponsored and funded by EPA and USGS.
How WWHM/HSPF works
Drainage areas are divided into pervious land segments based on soil, vegetation, and land slope and impervious land segments.
Pervious and impervious segments are linked to conveyance pathways (pipes, ditches, ponds, streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
Historic rainfall and evaporation are used as input.
How WWHM/HSPF works
The entire water cycle is modeled on an hourly or shorter time step for multiple years.
The model computes changes in soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and runoff every time step.
Three types of runoff: surface runoff interflow groundwater/base flow
How WWHM works
Calibrated parameter values are built into WWHM (different calibrated parameter values are used for different climatic regions).
Local precipitation and evaporation data are included in WWHM.
How WWHM works
User locates project on county map, inputs pre- and post-development land use, and proposed mitigation measure(s).
Predevelopment and mitigated flows are compared at Point of Compliance (POC).
Mitigated flows are not allowed to exceed flow duration standards.
How WWHM works
User outputs report file and project file.
Output files can be submitted to the permitting agency for approval.
Permitting agency can load project file and rerun analysis, if needed.
Report file summarizes input data and output results.

WWHM Version 3:
Goal: give the user greater flexibility and options:
High groundwater element Lateral flow between basins More elements More output options New LID options
WWHM Version 3:
Version 3 projects have no drainage area size limitations: entire watersheds can be modeled.
Version 3 can be customized to local jurisdictions (e.g., City of Bellingham, City of Seattle).
