- Description
- The HRU file type is associated with hydrologic modeling and watershed management software. HRU stands for Hydrologic Response Unit, which is a spatial unit used within these models to simulate the movement and availability of water within a given landscape. Each HRU represents a unique combination of land use, soil type, and slope characteristics within the watershed being studied. These files are crucial for environmental scientists and engineers in predicting water flow, assessing water quality, and managing watershed resources.
- A TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
