Web based applications, web services, and online data and model sharing technology are becoming increasingly available to support hydrologic research. This promises benefits in terms of collaboration, computer platform independence, and reproducibility of modeling workflows and results. In this research, we designed an approach that integrates hydrologic modeling web services with an online data sharing system to support web-based simulation for hydrologic models. We used this approach to integrate example systems as a case study to support reproducible snowmelt modeling for a test watershed in the Colorado River Basin, USA. We demonstrated that this approach enabled users to work within an online environment to create, describe, share, discover, repeat, modify, and analyze the modeling work. This approach encourages collaboration and improves research reproducibility. It can also be adopted or adapted to integrate other hydrologic modeling web services with data sharing systems for different hydrologic models.

基于Web的应用程序，Web服务以及在线数据和模型共享技术正越来越多地用于支持水文学研究。这有望在协作，计算机平台独立性以及建模工作流和结果的可重复性方面带来好处。在这项研究中，我们设计了一种方法，该方法将水文建模Web服务与在线数据共享系统集成在一起，以支持基于Web的水文模型仿真。我们使用这种方法将示例系统集成在一起，作为案例研究来支持美国科罗拉多河流域测试流域的可重现融雪建模。我们证明了这种方法使用户能够在在线环境中工作，以创建，描述，共享，发现，重复，修改和分析建模工作。这种方法鼓励合作并提高研究的可重复性。它也可以被采用或修改为将其他水文建模Web服务与用于不同水文模型的数据共享系统集成在一起。
