Abstract
The objective of this study was the simulation of the quantity and quality of flow in a fairly large basin on a continuous synthesis basis. To accomplish this objective, an existing mathematical model was modified slightly and fitted to the 16,200 square mile Minnesota River Basin. The model used was the SSARR (Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation) model developed by the Corps of Engineers and the National Weather Service for the Columbia Basin. A stochastic water quality model was developed and fitted to portions of the Minnesota Basin for use with the quantity model. A deterministic water quality model was written for the main stem of the Minnesota River. Preliminary results using water temperature data show good agreement with measured data.
