Description

Appendix B documents the water quality calibration of the Phase IV Watershed Model. Simulated and observed concentrations are compared for 8 years of calibration (1984-1991) at 15 water quality stations. Calibration data is shown for temperature, dissolved oxygen, total suspended sediment, total phosphorus, organic and particulate phosphorus, phosphate, total nitrogen, nitrate, total ammonia, and organic nitrogen.
