okBATHTUB - Empirical Reservoir Eutrophication Modelling with Oklahoma
Calibration
Empirical reservoir water quality modelling using Walker's
'BATHTUB' Model 1 (second-order available-phosphorus
sedimentation) from Walker (1985)
<https://hdl.handle.net/11681/13884> and Walker (1996)
<https://hdl.handle.net/11681/4353> as the default retention
model. The Vollenweider (1976) hydraulic- residence form and
the equivalent formulation of Larsen and Mercier (1976) are
available as alternatives. Predicts in-lake total phosphorus,
total nitrogen, chlorophyll-a, and Secchi depth from tributary
nutrient and hydraulic loading inputs, and computes Carlson
(1977) <doi:10.4319/lo.1977.22.2.0361> Trophic State Indices.
Optional Oklahoma-specific chlorophyll and Secchi regression
coefficients are provided, calibrated from publicly available
state lake monitoring data. Supports single-segment and
multi-segment reservoir configurations and load-reduction
scenario analysis. Designed to complement watershed loading
models such as the Soil and Water Assessment Tool ('SWAT';
<https://swat.tamu.edu>) and the U.S. EPA Hydrologic and Water
Quality System ('HAWQS'; <https://hawqs.tamu.edu>) in a
two-model nutrient management workflow.
