Module CEQUALW2 is a module using the CE-QUAL-W2 ecological model formulations. CE-QUAL-W2 is 2D laterally average hydrodynamic and ecological model developed at the U.S. Corps of Engineers and it's normally used to simulate water quality in reservoirs. Its ecological formulations were adapted and re-programmed into MOHID as Module CEQUALW2. This module is able to simulate 22 properties, including temperature, nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and silica biogeochemical cycles), oxygen and several species of algae (microalgae). The model does not simulate macroalgae, neither the influence of zooplankton in the primary production.
