- HBV hydrology model
The HBV hydrology model, or Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansmodell, is a
computer simulation used to analyze river discharge andwater pollution . Developed originally for use inScandinavia [Bergström, S., 1976. Development and application of a conceptual runoff model for Scandinavian catchments, "SMHI Report" RHO 7, Norrköping, 134 pp.] [Bergström, S. 1995. The HBV model. In: Singh, V.P. (Ed.) "Computer Models of Watershed Hydrology". Water Resources Publications, Highlands Ranch, CO., pp. 443-476. ] , thishydrological transport model has also been applied in a large number of catchments on most continents [Oudin, L., Hervieu, F., Michel, C., Perrin, C., Andréassian, V., Anctil, F. and Loumagne, C. 2005.

"Journal of Hydrology", 303, 290-306. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2004.08.026] ] [Perrin, C., Michel, C. and Andréassian, V. 2001.

[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0022-1694(00)00393-0] ] . =Discharge Modelling=This is the major application of HBV, and has gone through much refinement [Lindström, G., Gardelin, M., Johansson, B., Persson, M. and Bergström, S. 1997. Development and test of the distributed HBV-96 hydrological model. "Journal of Hydrology", 201, 272-288. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0022-1694(97)00041-3] ] . It comprises the following routines:
* Snow routine
* Soil moisture routine
* Response function
* Routing routineHBV has been used for discharge modelling in many countries worldwide, including
Brazil ,China [Zhang, X. and Lindström, G. 1996. A comparative study of a Swedish and a Chinese hydrological model. "Water Resources Bulletin", 32, 985-994.

Lidén simulated the transport of
nitrogen ,phosphorus and suspended sediment inBrazil ,Estonia ,Sweden andZimbabwe [Lidén, R., "Conceptual Runoff Models for Material Transport Estimations", PhD dissertation,Lund University , Lund, Sweden (2000)] [Lidén, R., Harlin, J., Karlsson, M. and Rahmberg, M. 2001.
