A Statistical Approach for Performing Water Quality Impairment Assessments Under the TMDL Program
A statistical approach for making impairment determinations in the Section 303(d)listing process is developed. The method is based on the 100(1 a ) percent lower confidence limit on an upper percentile of the concentration distribution. Advantages of the method include: (1) it provides a test of the null hypothesis that a percentage of the true concentration distribution fails to meet a regulat...
متن کاملPredicting the frequency of water quality standard violations: a probabilistic approach for TMDL development.
To address the impaired condition of the water bodies listed under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, over 40 000 total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for pollutants must be developed during the next 10-15 years. Most of these will be based on the results of water quality simulation models. However, the failure of most models to incorporate residual variability and parameter uncertainty in the...
متن کاملA “watershed Approach” to Tmdl Development
The State of Minnesota, in an effort to streamline the identification of impaired waters and subsequent TMDL development, has developed a watershed approach to condition monitoring and assessment similar to other states such as Ohio and Indiana. The watershed approach uses intensive biological monitoring (fish and macroinvertebrates) to determine biologically impaired stream reaches. Follow up ...
متن کاملObject-oriented modeling approach to surface water quality management
The lack of sufficient water quality data in many places hinders the efforts of surface water quality modeling, and therefore affects the process of water quality management. In this paper, the potential of an object-oriented simulation environment for surface water quality management, based on the concepts of system dynamics (OO-SD), is discussed. The characteristics, along with a brief explan...
متن کاملAn Approach to River Water Quality Management through Correlation Study among Various Water Quality Parameters
Abstract : Water the most vital source for all kinds of life on this planet is also the resource, adversely affected both qualitatively and quantitatively by all kinds of human activities on land, in air or in water. To find an approach to water quality management through correlation studies between various water quality parameters, the statistical regression analysis for eight data points of G...
