Engineer describes how calibrated LSPC models inform watershed planning, TMDL work and climate scenarios
Summary
Manushipal, a water-resources control engineer, summarized how calibrated LSPC hydrological models can simulate flows, pollutant loads, reservoir operations and climate- or land-use scenarios to support TMDL development, drought planning and stakeholder engagement; he reviewed several case studies and directed listeners to EPA resources.
Manushipal, a water-resources control engineer, outlined how calibrated LSPC hydrological models can support watershed planning, total maximum daily load (TMDL) development, reservoir operations and scenario testing for climate and land-use change.
He said a calibrated model “ensures that simulation results closely match with real world conditions,” and described LSPC’s capacity to combine hydrology, hydrodynamics and biogeochemistry to track pollutant sources and evaluate best-management practices. “The LSPC model can include both point source and non point source pollutions to evaluate water quality in rivers,…
