WMS:HSPF NUTRX

This section of the RQUAL module simulates the primary processes which determine the balance of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus in natural waters. This section is used to simulate the primary processes that determine the dissolved oxygen concentration in a reach or mixed reservoir. To access the NUTRX Parameters dialog box, press the NUTRX button in the RQUAL Parameters dialog box. The NUTRX Parameters dialog box lets the user enter the parameters for the following NUTRX input tables: NUT-FLAGS, NUT-AD-FLAGS, CONV-VALI, NUT-BENPARM, NUT-NITDENIT, NUT-NH3VOLAT, MON-PHVAL, NUT-BENCONC, NUT-ADSPARM, NUT-ADSINIT, NUT-DINIT. A table may be edited by selecting it in the Table Type drop-down box; the required fields will then appear in the dialog.

The segment parameters for these tables are listed in the dialog box and the help strings include a range of values that are reasonable. The combination of required tables will vary, depending on the flags set in the NUT-FLAGS table. For information on the definition and function of specific variables in this module, see Section 4.4(3).8.2 – NUTRX Input of the HSPF Manual.
