Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP 8.2) Water Qualify Modeling Workshop • June 11 -15, 2018 Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program WASP8 Naxt WASP Workshop August)-5,2016 —EPA Region 4 — Atlanta, GA 3eDys EPA Region 4 and the National Water Quality Modeling Work Group is proud to sponsor \ a 5-day workshop on water quality principles/modeling using the Water Quality Analysis ui Simulation Program (WASP). WASP is one of the most widely used water quality models in pro-^ the ^5 and throughout the world. With an estimated 10,000+ installed user base, the model is continually being enhanced to meet the needs of the user community. WASP can be applied to streams, rivers, lakes/reservoirs, and estuaries in 1, 2 or 3 dimensions. WASP is used routinely throughout the United States in the development of TMDLs and waste load allocations. The model is capable of simulating: nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, silica), dissolved oxygen (including sediment diagenesis), biochemical oxygen demand (3 types), phytoplankton (5 species), benthic & macro algae (3 species), inorganic/organic solids (5 types including mechanistic sediment transport), pathogens, water temperature, pH and alkalinity. The chemical model is capable of simulating 10 organic chemicals, 10 nano chemicals, 10 dissolved carbon components, inorganic/organic solids (5 types including mechanistic sediment transport), 5 microbial groups, and water temperature. WASPS is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, and Linux based machines. The modeling package consists of: a user-friendly graphical user interface that assists the users in developing a modeling input file, access time series data from database management systems, and a graphical post processor to aid in model calibration and report generation. interface coda We are nnw enienng ma heta test phase ot Ih development.

The participants will be given PowerPoint presentations and other materials to make it easy to follow along in the course. ------- Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP 8.2) Water Quality Modeling Workshop • June 11 -15, 2018 The workshop provides an excellent overview of major water quality processes including how they are implemented in the model. The training sessions are broken into theory lecture sessions and hands-on sessions. The majority of the workshop is hands-on using real world examples. The instructors encourage interaction and discussion to meet everyone's concerns. Dates, Locations, and Logistics We are planning for approximately 40 people in the class. Participants attending a WASP training course will be required to have a laptop computer or share a computer with someone. Note: If possible make sure that you have Administrative Rights for your notebook to install the WASP Model. The laptop computer will be used for running the model and viewing the course materials. All materials will be in electronic format and will be handed out at the beginning of the workshop. Instructors Tim Wool - is with US EPA Region 4/TMDL Program. Tim has over 30 years' experience in the development and application of WASP. Tim routinely uses WASP for the development of TMDLs. Robert Ambrose - is retired from EPA ORD-NERL/ERD-Athens. Bob has over 35 years' experience in the development and application of WASP. James Martin - Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mississippi State University. James has over 30 years' experience with WASP and has developed several of the kinetic modules.
