Water Quality Modeling on Truckee River system WARMF and TRHSPF

To support the WQS and TMDL reviews, two water quality modeling tools (WARMF and TRHSPF) were applied to simulate watershed processes, stream hydrology and river water quality. The use of the models will help ensure that any proposed nutrient water quality standards reflect the site-specific response of the Truckee River to nutrient loads and provide protection of the beneficial uses.
