Theoretical Basis for the CE-QUAL-W2 River Basin Model

Abstract : This report describes the theoretical development for CE-QUAL-W2, Version 3, that will allow the application of the model to entire water basins including multiple reservoirs, steeply sloping rivers, and estuaries. The governing equations are rederived to include the ability to model steeply sloping rivers. Numerous auxiliary issues including turbulence schemes and reaeration more appropriate for rivers are also explored
