Developing Fecal TMDLs for Watershed Management Using Fuzzy Based Approach
Publication: Watershed Management 2010: Innovations in Watershed Management under Land Use and Climate Change
Abstract
Total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for different water quality constituents were developed for many creeks, which are listed by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) 303(d) document. When available data for estimation of loads are uncertain, the TMDL decisions are also affected. To provide flexibilities for the decision maker, in this research, a fuzzy model based TMDL development was attempted. For examining the suitability of this proposed approach, a case study had been done with the available data for two watersheds namely Coffee creek and Salt Creek in the historic Indiana Dunes Region of North West Indiana.
