The Corps of Engineers One-Dimensional Reservoir Water Quality Model (CE-QUAL-R1) was evaluated for use in the Aquatic Plant Control Research Program (APCRP). Calibration of the thermal portion of the model for a period of one year and subsequent verification for a period of three years produced satisfactory results concerning the water budget and temperature predictions. Calibration of the water quality portion of the model also produced satisfactory results. Measured data were not considered satisfactory for model verification. It was concluded that CE-QUAL-R1 would be useful to the APCRP for predicting water quality variables after the addition of a macrophyte algorithm and after improvements are made concerning the interaction between the algorithms, time step, and solution scheme. All current model developments within the Environmental Water Quality Operational Studies Program should enhance model use for the APCRP. Other possible improvements which should be considered include the incorporation of: (a) output dealing with system function, (b) input via rainfall, and (c) effects of wind on sediments.
A one-dimensional model (CE-QUAL-R1) of water quality of reservoirs was evaluated using data collected on the Eau Galle Reservoir, in west-central Wisconsin. Data collected on the Eau Galle Reservoir, in west-central Wisconsin. Data collected in 1982 were used for confirmation. Graphical and statistical comparison were made for over 6.500 samples representing 21 variables. The statistical test used for comparing measured versus predicted values was the Reliability Index (RI). The average RI for each variable indicated that precision was always better than a half-order of magnitude, even for variables that ranged over more than three orders of magnitude. Graphs are presented for all variables, including profiles for the date with the poorest predictions (according to the RI). In addition, comparisons of measured and predicted flux values were satisfactory, helping to ensure that reasonable predictions were made for the correct reasons.
