However, because this is a karstic region, the urbanization process in this area raises serious environmental concerns because of the low filtration capacity of the karst. The best strategy appears to include a com- bination of elitism and full generational replacement Brown, L. Stream discretization The selected 4. It is possible that the change from a lotic environment to a lentic environment in the simulated reaches was responsible for this difference, since stations S1 and S2 were predominantly lotic and stations S3 and S4 were predominantly lentic. These differences can be attributed to changes in environmental conditions between the two periods.

Water Researchvol. The same random number seed was used for a, b, and c. Stations S1, S4, and T1 are lotic environments; the other stations are lentic.

The field work consisted of collecting one sample per monitoring station in each of the two study periods. Model calibration and validation. Each digit represents values of x between 0. We chose QUAL2Kw's exponential model for oxygen inhibition qual2iw to BOD oxidation, nitrification, denitrification, and respiration by bottom algae and aquatic plants.

Station S4 is located in a rural area of the municipality of Lagoa Santa quxl2kw is predominantly surrounded by pastures and small fields of crops. The conservation of the water resources in this region should therefore consider the adoption of preventive measures such as protecting exposed qua,2kw and decreasing the nutrient influx from agricultural and livestock activities.

These concentrations correspond to an increased load in the watershed amounting to only 0. Kinetics parameters Table 2 presents the kinetics parameters recommended in the literature and used in the model calibration process Pelletier and Chapra, ; Brown and Barnwell Junior, However, the BOD, TN, and TP limits for the protection of aquatic communities would be qual2ks with additional non-point-source loads in the watershed of 0.

Application of Qual2Kw model as a tool for water quality management: Cértima River as a case study.

This may be because they studied a rural watershed, with little industrial development. See general information about how to correct material in RePEc.

The high vulnerability to contamination is caused by the absence of filtering elements such as large bodies of sand and other sediments, which enables the contamination to assume alarming proportions when the pollutants are captured by underground conduit systems and transported over long distances. We are pleased to offer the following software packages: However, this area lacks basic infrastructure such as wastewater treatment facilities. To provide input data for the QUAL2Kw model, we calibrated the model using data from the rainy period, from 21 to 23 Qual22kwand validated the model's predictions using data from the dry period, from 20 to 23 July The results showed the local oxygenation is effective to maintain minimum DO concentrations in the river.

However, once the hydraulic characteristics are determined they are converted to "days" to be compatible with other computations. These scenarios are based on the possible modification of non-point-source contributions resulting from human impacts within the watershed caused by the establishment of industrial and residential zones.

Table 2 presents the kinetics parameters recommended in qual2kkw literature and used in the model calibration process Pelletier and Chapra, ; Brown and Barnwell Junior, QUAL2Kw, A framework for modeling water quality in streams and rivers using a genetic algorithm for calibration. Preventive measures such as protecting exposed soils and decreasing the nutrient influx from agricultural or livestock activities should help managers to protect the fragile water resources of this karstic qua,2kw.

It is possible that the change from a lotic environment to a lentic environment in the simulated reaches was responsible for this difference, since stations S1 and S2 were predominantly lotic and stations S3 and S4 were predominantly lentic. The random number seed determines the sequence of Goldberg, D.

Engineering 3e This is the area below the streambed where water QUAL2Kw is a modeling framework that is intended percolates through spaces between the rocks and cob- to quual2kw a modernized version of the U.

Future enhancements could include resulted in accurate simultaneous calibration of the other additional GA methods for selection, crossover, and water quality constituents, including pH and nutrient mutation. The annual precipitation averages The model allows the use qual2kd input data for the hydraulic characteristics of each river reach.

The combination of wastewater modification, flow augmentation and local oxygenation qual2k suitable to maintain the acceptable limits of water quality criteria. You can help adding them by using this form.
