Lakes & Reservoir Simulations
Environmental concerns in lakes and reservoirs due to anthropogenic changes has prompted a need for mathematical modeling tools that can be used as a decision support system for watershed management issues. Nutrient loads, either from point or non-point sources, that exceed the assimilative capacity of the receiving lakes and reservoirs generally produce a detrimental effect to water quality. Processes that cause these conditions are complex and dependent on the transport mechanisms of nutrients and other physical processes such as circulation, temperature and mixing. HydroQual’s engineers and scientists have pioneered a unique mathematical modeling approach using state-of- the-art hydrodynamic and water quality models to analyze these complex physical, chemical and biological processes.
