THE HIRM-KW MODEL
HIRM-KW (see screenshots) is an application which may be employed to simulate infiltration and runoff in bare soil (i.e. in absence of cover crop) subject to constant rainfall.

HIRM-KW is a Windows application requiring the previous installation, at least, of the Microsoft .NET 4.0 FrameWork on your computer.

A full review of the physical model of HIRM-KW, can be read at the following reference:
