Water Quality Simulation in Wahiawa Reservoir, O'Ahu, Hawai'i

摘要

To assist decision makers in selecting alternative water quality management strategies, the Water Quality for River-Reservoir Systems (WQRRS) model developed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was applied to the multiple-use, Wahiawa Reservoir, which has historically experienced water quality problems--especially low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. The WQRRS model was calibrated and verified to adequately represent dynamic behavior of vertical profiles of water temperature and DO. Principal recommendations are to refine model calibrations, modify the model for artificial aeration simulation, and investigate other management strategies.
