Brown, L. AND T. Barnwell. COMPUTER PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION FOR THE ENHANCED STREAM WATER QUALITY MODEL QUAL2E. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/3-85/065 (NTIS PB86201126), 1985.
Description:
Presented in the manual are recent modifications and improvements to the widely used stream water quality model QUAL-II. Called QUAL2E, the enhanced model incorporates improvements in eight areas: (1) algal, nitrogen, phosphorus, and dissolved oxygen interactions; (2) algal growth rate; (3) temperature; (4) dissolved oxygen; (5) arbitrary non-conservative constituents; (6) hydraulics; (7) downstream boundary concentrations; and (8) input/output modifications. QUAL2E, which can be operated either as a steady-state or as a dynamic model, is intended for use as a water quality planning tool.
