[BASINS] Generate HSPF models in SI Units #12

Open mishranurag opened 7 years ago

mishranurag commented 7 years ago

All the scientific journals expect SI units in the research papers, it is difficult to take HSPF modeling results directly and present in the paper. The absence of an option for unit selection in HSPF model development is a huge barrier for people who are not familiar with the English units.

When a user is creating a new project in BASINS, there should be an additional option that should ask the user about the units. If SI is selected, the final UCI file should also be in SI units. There should be a starter UCI file in SI Units as well.

We are proposing that EPA fund this enhancement.
