Economic Optimization and Simulation Techniques for Management of Regional Water Resource Systems: Multibasin Water Quality Simulation Model QNET-I Program Description

摘要

The QNET-I water quality model simulates the movement of conservative mineral constituents in water through any network of reservoirs, canals and river reaches. This model utilizes the hydrologic routings computed by the SIMYLD-II surface water quantity simulation procedure to route mineral constituents through a multi-reservoir system. It uses monthly time intervals in its prediction of constituent concentration and can predict quality levels over any number of months. The model assumes that water in each element of a system (reservoirs, canals, and river reaches) is completely mixed over a monthly period and consequently, of uniform quality.
