This is the code repository for WRF-Hydro®.
WRF-Hydro is a community modeling system and framework for hydrologic modeling and model coupling. In 2016 a configuration of WRF-Hydro was implemented as the National Water Model (NWM) for the continental United States.
Documentation and in-depth build instructions can be found on our project website. Quick build instructions for CMake are also available.
