Abstract
A generalized water quality modeling program and a
model verification analysis program have been developed that
have application to a wide variety of water resource management
problems. The Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program,
WASP, may be applied to one, two, and three-dimensional
water bodies, and models may be structured to include linear
and non-linear kinetics. Depending upon the modeling framework
the user formulates, the user may choose, via input options,
to input constant or time-variable transport and kinetic
processes, as well as point and non-point waste discharges.
The Model Verification Program, MVP, may be used as an
indicator of "goodness of fit" or adequacy of the model as a
representation of the real world.
To date the water quality modeling program has been
applied to over twenty water resource management problems.
These applications have included one, two and three dimensional
water bodies and a number of different physical,
chemical and biologica1 modeling frameworks, such as BOD-DO, eutrophication, and toxic substances.
