Description:
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 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 topics 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.
