Eutrofização Albufeiras

Overview

It is intended to produce a step-by-step procedure to run reservoir model CE-QUAL-W2

Where to Start?

1. If you need to have first insights on CEQUAL-W2 model, applications already done see \\datacenter\Albufeiras_Eutrofizacao\ComoFazer\0.Bibliografia
2. If you already feel ready to start, initiate with collecting all the data available for your reservoir and watershed in snirh (www.snirh.pt). First use the shapes in \\datacenter\Albufeiras_Eutrofizacao\Produtos\ProjectosGIS\ShapesBase to check which flow and quality stations are in the reservoir and watershed. Then, go to snirh to download the desired data from that stations.
3. Follow the steps in \\datacenter\Albufeiras_Eutrofizacao\ComoFazer

Input Data

List of input data needed:

How to prepare input data see \\datacenter\Albufeiras_Eutrofizacao\ComoFazer\1.PreparaInputs

Note It is important to check input data for a) outliers b) detection limit values c) understanding the dynamic. As so, always perform time serie graphs for each property. Also ploting several related properties (e.g. nutrients and chlorofila) will help in understanding the dynamic.

FAQ

Q: What is the software that I need to install? (CE-qual, GIS, surfer, Office, web-browser...)

A: For Cequal you only will need an .exe file that will be distributed. For the first steps you will need any GIS software that opens shapefiles and georeferenced images (ArcGIS, MohidGIS, etc.). If any doubt on how to install them call David. IE or Mozilla web browser will work just fine in www.snirh.pt

Q: What is the desired period of the simulation (including spin-up)? I'm asking this because I need to know which time-period to filter the data.
