Abstract
This study performs a parametric sensitivity analysis of FWETMOD, a computer model to simulate wetland hydrology as well as the corresponding total suspended solids and pollutant concentrations. FWETMOD evolved out of the Virginia Field Scale Wetland model (VAFSWM), and can be used to analyze the design parameters relevant to hydrologic and water quality aspects of stormwater-driven wetlands. In the present study, the input parameters of FWETMOD were analyzed and the more sensitive parameters were identified. The model was applied to a small wetland in West Lafayette, Indiana and the results are reported.
