3 Lake Wister State of Oklahoma 303d List of Impaired Waterbodies: Chlorophyll-a Dissolved Oxygen Total Phosphorus Turbidity 2013 Contracted with Poteau Valley Improvement Authority: 1. Sediment analysis 2. Water quality model a) Modeling Plan b) Model development and simulations
4 Modeling Platforms: Hydrodynamics Estuary, Lake and Coastal Ocean Model (ELCOM) (3D) Ecology Computational Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics Model (CAEDYM)
5 ELCOM-CAEDYM Simulation Capacity Light (NIR, PAR, UVA, UVB) Suspended sediment (SS ) Dissolved oxygen (DO) Organic nutrients (POM, DOM) Inorganic nutrients (NH 4, NO 3, PO 4, SiO 2, DIC) Heterotrophic bacteria (BAC) Phytoplankton (Chl-a/C, Internal N/P, toxins) Higher biology (zooplankton, fish, eggs & larvae) Benthic biology (macroalgae, bivalves, macroinvertebrates) Pathogens & indicator organisms (crypto, coliforms, phages) Geochemistry (ph, ions, metals) Sediment diagenesis
6 Model Inputs: Inflow/outflow rates (USGS and USACE) Inflow concentrations for suspended sediment, TP, TN, etc (USGS) Sediment P (Haggard, Scott, and Patterson 2012) Meteorological data (Oklahoma Mesonet) Modeling Periods: 2011, 2013, 2015 calibration years 2012, 2014 validation years Calibration data: Daily lake elevation (USACE) Monthly lake monitoring (PVIA)
