Geosfm hydrological model is studied by the center for earth resources observation and Science (EROS) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Its biggest feature is that the satellite remote sensing precipitation products can be directly used as the driving parameters of the model. The geosfm hydrological model has been applied to the Nile River Basin in Africa, Mekong River in Asia and bagmati River Basin in Nepal. Geosfm can create a common visual environment to monitor hydrogeological conditions in a wide range of areas, including topographic analysis, data assimilation and time series processing, and display the monitoring results.

HYDRUS-1D model is a finite element model, which is used to simulate the one-dimensional motion of water, heat and multiple solutes in variable saturated media. The model solves Richards' saturated unsaturated water flow and Fickian based advection dispersion equations of heat and solute transport.

The recess program is used to determine the decline index and determine the main decline curve from the analysis of runoff records.
