HARTT - Hydrograph Analysis - Rainfall and Time Trend software
Description
HARTT is a user-friendly software program for hydrograph analysis to separate rainfall and time trend.
The analysis of groundwater trends is critical in the study of salinity risk and the effectiveness of preventative measures. Ferdowsian et al.(2001) presented a new approach - HARTT for statistically estimating trends in groundwater levels. The approach separates the effect of atypical rainfall events from underlying time trends and the lag between rainfall and its impact on groundwater is explicitly represented. The method improves the estimation of time trends and allows for better interpretation of treatment effects on groundwater levels.
HARTT software was developed to aid hydrologists with the analysis of groundwater hydrographs (Majidi, Ferdowsian and McCarron, 2002). The software is easy to use and eliminates cumbersome data operations. It is a useful tool in hydrological studies. For more information see - further readings.
