  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Idaho Pend Oreille River Model: Model Development and Calibration Author: Annear, Robert Leslie, Berger, Chris, Wells, Scott A. Year: 2006 The objectives of this project were to: • Develop a hydrodynamic and temperature model of Pend Oreille River using CE-QUAL-W2 Version 3.2 • Calibrate the CE-QUAL-W2 model to field data collected during 2004 and 2005 using the following water quality variables: flow, water surface elevation, and velocity temperature o dissolved oxygen nutrients (NO3-N+NO2-N, NH4-N, PO4-P) algae – chlorophyll a BOD5 and dissolved organic matter and particulate organic matter compartments (both labile and refractory) for the organic matter cycling with algae periphyton The model chosen for development was CE-QUAL-W2 Version 3.2 (Cole and Wells, 2004). This is a two-dimensional unsteady hydrodynamic and water quality model that includes typical eutrophication constituents (algae, nutrients, temperature, organic matter, dissolved oxygen, pH). Portland State University’s Water Quality Research Group is a center for development of this modeling tool (see http://www.cee.pdx.edu/w2). The model simulation was run from January 1st, 2004 to September 25th, 2005. The calibration period focused on the summers during each year when water quality data were obtained.
