ABSTRACT
This paper provides some insight into how the water quality calculations
performed in watershed models can be improved by integrating the latest
methodology employed by state-of- the-art water quality models. Suggestions
include adding a sediment submodel, allowing for the addition of another
phytoplankton group, and adding a two- or three-dimensional capability
for modeling the receiving waters.
