The Use of Mechanistic Models for Water Quality Management
This presentation will focus on the use and utility of using mechanistic models for make water quality management decisions. The strengths and weaknesses of using mechanistic models to make water quality management decisions will be presented. An overview of the Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) will be given, high lighting the advantages of using a dynamic model. A Modelling scenario will be given where a suite of mechanistic models were used to make a TMDL decision.
