Abstract WSPRO, a water-surface profile computation model, can be used to analyze one-dimensional, gradually-varied, steady flow in open channels. WSPRO also can be used to analyze flow through bridges and culverts, embankment overflow, and multiple-opening stream crossings. This user's manual provides guidance for using the WSPRO model and updates a previous edition dated September, 1990. It presents a general overview of input data requirements, uses conceptual examples to illustrate typical data sequences for various model applications, and provides detailed instructions for preparation of input data. Several example problems are included to illustrate both input data and model output. Analysis and interpretation of model output is discussed in detail. Two additional appendices have been added. Section 10 documents operation of the HYDRAIN WSPRO Input/Output Program. Section 11 discusses the operation of the SMS WSPRO interface. Both programs automate user interaction with the computer model.
