Riverine Spill Modeling System (RSMS) is a free web-based system for modeling river spills.
EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) in 200X funded the original development of the Riverine Spill Modeling System (RSMS) The RSMS model was originally a desktop application designed to use on a Windows PC. The Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO), an interstate commission representing eight states and the federal government implemented the model for the Ohio River.
The RSMS model has been used for over a decade by ORSANCO. The original/current version of the model uses the flow and cross sections of the river provided by the USACE’s HEC_RAS Model. This model is run daily and is used to generate forecasts of Ohio River stages and flows which serve as inputs to RSMS.
integration with HEC-RAS, navigable dynamic plots, multiple user support, web-based interface can be run using a smart phone.
