The objectives of this project were to:
• Develop a hydrodynamic and temperature model of Pend Oreille River using CE-QUAL-W2 Version 3.2
• Calibrate the CE-QUAL-W2 model to field data collected during 2004 and 2005 using the following water quality variables:
- flow, water surface elevation, and velocity
- temperature o dissolved oxygen
- nutrients (NO3-N+NO2-N, NH4-N, PO4-P)
- algae – chlorophyll a
- BOD5 and dissolved organic matter and particulate organic matter compartments (both labile and refractory) for the organic matter cycling with algae
- periphyton
The model chosen for development was CE-QUAL-W2 Version 3.2 (Cole and Wells, 2004). This is a two-dimensional unsteady hydrodynamic …
