WASP Update Boosts Aquatic System Modeling with Enhanced Sediment Diagenesis and Eutrophication Tools

WASP, a flexible aquatic system model, has been utilized in numerous studies to evaluate water pollution, including eutrophication, PCB, heavy metal, and mercury contamination. This update introduces improvements for sediment diagenesis and eutrophication modeling.

WASP simulates processes such as advection, dispersion, mass loading, and boundary exchange in 1D, 2D, and 3D models. It supports diverse pollutant types and can be connected with hydrodynamic and sediment transport models for supplementary data. The WASP Preprocessor facilitates swift input dataset creation and integration with hydrodynamic models.

The Post-Processor, WRDB, provides an efficient method for reviewing model predictions and comparing them with field data for calibration. WASP is compatible with earlier Windows versions, 64-bit Windows 7 or later, Mac OSX, and Linux Ubuntu.

This upgraded WASP release, with its sediment diagenesis and eutrophication modeling capabilities, allows for more comprehensive aquatic ecosystem assessments. Its compatibility with various operating systems and ability to integrate with other models make it a potent tool for water quality analysis and pollution prediction.
