General
Information
|
The salinity and water quality
model development history leading up to the EFDC and WASP model
development is located here.
It is an attempt to provide a chronological description of the many
events, meetings, decisions, and reports developed during those years
of effort. This chronology ends with the beginning of the adaptation of
the EFDC and WASP models for use as detailed below.
