Description:
The project was undertaken in order to provide a feasibility study in developing and implementing a complete executive program to interface automatically various basin-wide water quality models for use by relatively inexperienced modelers. This executive program should ultimately have the capability to integrate point source and nonpoint source models to simulate and analyze the consequences of implementing land use alternatives and pollution control strategies. Interactive computer graphics display and software design to automatically interface the basin ecosystem submodels were studied to reflect accurately the present state-of-the-art. A literature review was made to assess the state-of-the-art of urban water quality mathematical modeling relative to their modularization for the executive program. Particular attention was addressed to interactive computer graphic display as the medium in which this executive program would be primarily utilized.
