This is cmf, the Catchment Model Framework.

cmf is a programming library to create hydrological models, wich are highly modular 
and connectible to other models. Although written in C++, its primary usage is to be compiled as an 
extension to other programming languages, using <a class="el" href=http://www.swig.org>SWIG</a>. 

Until now only <a class="el" href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> as a target language is actively supported.
