The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) often requires expertise from environmental assessors, hydrologists, economists, and others to analyze the benefits of regional and national policy decisions related to changes in water quality. This led EPA to develop two models to form an Integrated Assessment Model (IAM): HAWQS is a web-based water quantity and quality modeling systems and BenSPLASH is a modeling platform for quantifying the economic benefits of changes in water quality. This paper discusses the development of the component models and applies HAWQS and BenSPLASH to a case study in the Republican River Basin.
美国环境保护局（EPA）经常需要环境评估师、水文学家、经济学家及其他人员的专业知识，以分析与水质变化相关的区域和国家政策决策的益处。这促使EPA开发了两个模型来形成一个综合评估模型（IAM）：HAWQS是一个基于网络的水量和水质建模系统，而BenSPLASH是一个用于量化水质变化经济效益的建模平台。本文讨论了这些组件模型的开发，并将HAWQS和BenSPLASH应用于共和河流域的一个案例研究。
