Summary

This product is a Model Archive for Green-Ampt method infiltration modeling following wildfire in the Boulder Creek watershed, in the Colorado Front Range, USA. The models contained in this archive simulate infiltration and consequent runoff generation through 7 years of recovery following a wildfire in 2010. These simulations provide insight to changes in the timing of runoff generation that have implications for water quantity and quality following wildfire, with direct impacts on water supply.

Purpose

This product is a Model Archive that supports an interpretive report on measured and modeled infiltration for 7 years of recovery following wildfire. An example of an appropriate use of the data would be to alter the model inputs (i.e. rainfall rates) to examine alternate scenarios not covered in the interpretive report.
