Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a
"National Workshop on the Verification of Water Quality Models"
to evaluate the state-of-the-art of water quality modeling and
make specific recommendations for the direction of future modeling
efforts. Participants represented a broad cross-section of
practitioners of water quality modeling in sections of government,
academia, industry and private practice. The issues
discussed during this workshop, which was held in West Point,
N.Y., on 7-9 March 1979, were models in decision making, model
data bases, modeling framework and software validation, model
parameter estimation, model verification and models as projection
tools. These issues were discussed by workshop participants who
were organized into small groups, each of which discussed the
state of the art of a specific branch of water quality modeling.
Groups were divided into areas of wasteload generation, transport,
salinity-TDS, dissolved oxygen-temperature, bacteria-virus,
eutrophication and hazardous substances.
Workshop findings were summarized by committee reporters
and are presented in state-of-the-art reports. Workshop participants
also presented basic issue reports and technical support
papers, all of which are included in this document. This report was submitted,in partial fulfillment of Contract
No. 68-01-3872 by Hydroscience, Inc., under the sponsorship of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This report covers
the period from September 1979 to December 1979, and work was
completed as of December 1979.
