54 Special Challenges of Modeling LCFR Estuary 1. Three dimensional variability (longitudinal, lateral, vertical) in state variables 2. Mixing regimes vary significantly from upstream (riverine) to mouth (energetic tidal mixing) 3. Many significant sources of DO to surface waters algal productivity, surface reaeration, lateral inflows from ocean)
55 Special Challenges of Modeling LCFR Estuary 4. Many significant sinks of DO that affect surface waters sediment oxygen demand low DO water input from Black and NE Cape Fear River, municipal and industrial wastewater loads, BOD inputs from adjacent swamps & Black and NE Cape Fear Rivers
56 Special Challenges of Modeling LCFR Estuary 5. Widely varying decomposition rates of different organic matter sources Decaying phytoplankton biomass Industrial, municipal BOD loads Refractory organic matter from black water sources
57 BOD decomposition rates vary widely BOD5 DO Consumed (mg/l) Decaying phytoplanton biomass Black water organic matter Municipal, industrial BOD loads Time 5 days
58 BOD decomposition rates vary widely Black water organic matter DO Consumed (mg/l) Municipal, industrial BOD loads Decaying phytoplanton biomass 5 days Time 50 days
59 Conclusions Regarding LCFR TMDL 1. Challenging system to model 2. Model must properly account for changing physical regimes through the estuary (river to mouth) 3. Model must account for all of DO sources and sinks 4. Model must properly account for differing qualities of BOD sources to estuary
