Extended model description OpenLISEM is an open-source, spatially distributed model that simulates runoff, soil erosion, and flooding at the catchment scale. It supports both kinematic and dynamic wave flow routing and handles sediment dynamics across urban, rural, and mixed land-use environments. The model has two branches: a classic version focused on hydrology and erosion, and a multihazard version extending it to more complex, coupled hazard scenarios.

No If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status Active When did you indicate the 'code development status'? 2026 Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address https://github.com/vjetten/openlisem Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v3 Program license type other Memory requirements -- Typical run time -- Describe input parameters raster maps covering terrain, soils, and land use, including DEM, hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), porosity, soil depth, Manning's n, vegetation cover, channel geometry, and land cover maps. Rainfall and ET are provided as ASCII time series text files. All input maps must share the same grid dimensions, and the model accepts any GDAL-supported format — PCRaster binary (.map), GeoTIFF, or ASCII grid — though PCRaster binary is the native format. Input format ASCII, Binary Other input format Describe output parameters The model produces spatial map series (e.g., water height, flow velocity, soil loss) in PCRaster binary or GeoTIFF format, plus ASCII text files with hydrographs and sedigraphs at user-defined outlet points, and catchment-average summary statistics. Output format ASCII, Binary Other output format Pre-processing software needed? Yes Describe pre-processing software PCRaster (with Nutshell) is the traditional and primary tool for building the input map database; most workflows assume it. The newer multihazard LISEM software can also serve this role and includes its own scripting environment and map viewer. For post-processing, QGIS works well for visualizing spatial outputs (GeoTIFFs in particular), and Python (via rasterio or the LISEM Python bindings) can automate analysis of both map series and ASCII output files. Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software PCRaster Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Other visualization software PCRaster or QGIS Describe processes represented by the model See https://lisemmodel.com/docs/ Describe key physical parameters and equations https://lisemmodel.com/docs/ Describe length scale and resolution constraints -- Describe time scale and resolution constraints -- Describe any numerical limitations and issues -- Describe available calibration data sets Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers?
