Source User Guide

The Source User Guide provides information on operating Source, including specifying catchment geometry, selecting component models, generating river models and running a project and viewing results.

To get started you can choose a topic of interest from the navigation panel on the left, or from the topic links below.

Also on this website you can find:

• An overview of the broad concepts underlying Source;  
• The /wiki/spaces/SD37/pages/25598020, which describes the theory behind the software; and
• Best practice modelling guidelines.
