Hi Everyone,
I am going to be carrying out a water quality study for a catchment that has a reservoir at its outlet and its majorly covered by vegetation, with some shifting cultivation and there are a few local villages, so there is some point source and non-point source pollution. So, I wanted to know, can SWAT model the following water quality parameters? And is there any better hydrological model to use for modelling these parameters?
1. Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
2. Biochemical Oxygen Demand
3. Chemical Oxygen Demand 4. Ammonia Nitrogen as N (NH3-N) 5. Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
6. Total Nitrogen as N (TN) 7. Total Phosphorus as P (TP) 8. Percentage of DO Saturation
9. Coliform
10. E. Coli
11. pH
12. Fluoride
13. Chloride
14. Iron
15. Manganese
16. Aluminium
I appreciate the feedbacks.
Thank you all,
Majid.
You can try SWMM5, please read the article https://swmm5.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/swmmreview.pdf.
SWAT is designed to simulate discharge, sediments, nutrient and pesticide loads, crop growth, and management practices.
- Some of the water quality parameters that can be modeled by SWAT include : Nitrogen (total nitrogen, nitrate, and ammonium), Phosphorus (total phosphorus and orthophosphate), Sediment (total suspended sediment and sediment yield),Organic matter (total organic carbon),Temperature, Dissolved oxygen, Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
