Nature-based solutions (NBS) seek to improve water quality by leveraging natural ecological and biogeochemical processes, but the interplay between these processes, especially in moving water, is challenging to anticipate. When high confidence in outcomes is needed, stakeholders often turn to numerical modeling. However, most existing water simulation tools are outdated and based on empirical relationships rather than modern, process-based simulations.
Recognizing this gap, federal agencies are promoting a vision for reproducible, process-based modeling workflows. This webinar will present this federal vision and describe LimnoTech’s related work, including the development of the MF6RTM package, which couples groundwater transport with geochemical reaction models for contaminant mobility in Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) planning, and the use of GLM-AED libraries to assess design scenarios for the biofiltration of constructed lakes.
The N-EWN Knowledge Series offers 1 Continuing Education Credit (CEC) per seminar. This Series is presented by N-EWN, Limnotech, the University of Georgia, and USACE ERDC.
