Abstract
Predicting the steady state distribution of pollutants in rivers is important for water quality managers. A new simulation lan guage, the River System Modeling Methodology (RSMM), helps users construct simulation models for analyzing river pollution. In RSMM, a network of nodes and branches represents a river system. Nodes represent elements such as junctions, dams, withdrawals, and pollutant sources; branches represent homo geneous river segments, or reaches.
The RSMM processor is a GASP V program. Models can employ either the embedded Streeter-Phelps equations or user supplied equations. The user describes the network diagram with GASP- like input cards.
RSMM outputs may be printed or stored in an SDL™* database. An interface between SDL and DISSPLA provides high quality graphical output.
