The CE-QUAL-W2 model has been selected as a tool for use in water quality management studies of the Occoquan Reservoir. In order for the model to achieve its best possible predictive capability, additional quantitative information on denitrification rates in the reservoir was required. A microcosm operating protocol was developed to obtain such information and also to enhance the understanding ...

The relative impacts of changes in nutrient loading and zebra mussel establishment on plankton in large lakes are strongly influenced by hydrodynamics, yet adequately modelling the temporal–spatial complexity of physical and biological processes has been difficult. We adapted a two-dimensional public domain model, CE-QUAL-W2, to test whether it could provide a hydrodynamically accurate simulati...

A two-dimensional hydrodynamic CE-QUAL-W2 model was configured for a deep subtropical river-run reservoir, the Xiluodu Reservoir (XLDR), in China to simulate water temperature in the first two years of impoundment (2013–2014) using measured data as model input. It was calibrated using observed temperature profiles near the dam and the outflow temperatures. Observed daily temperatures at four ga...

introductiondue to shortage of fresh water resources, the quality of impounded water behind the dams becomemore important than how it was previously as a source of fresh water resource. thermal regime anddissolved oxygen concentration are factors that affect the quality of water reservoirs.many lakes show vertical stratification of their water masses, at least for some extended timeperiods. the...

The turbidity events caused by Typhoon “Kong-rey” in 2018 were selected as the measured data required to build CE-QUAL-W2 model. turbidity, water temperature, climate data, and discharge main dam used input for numerical simulations. To ensure reliability of parameters, “Mitak” 2019 additionally selected, optimal parameters temperature other using case simulation. analysis showed that error rat...
