Special Collection on Total Maximum Daily Load Analysis and Modeling: Assessment and Advancement
Guest Editors:
Deva K. Borah, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE
G. Padmanabhan, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE
Saurav Kumar, Ph.D., A.M.ASCE
The goal of this special collection of articles is to review state-of-the-practice and state-of-the-art on Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analysis and modeling towards searching for the best practices of TMDL analysis and modeling. The collection is the product of the TMDL Analysis and Modeling Task Committee of the ASCE EWRI under its Watershed Management Technical Committee of the Watershed Council. The task committee was formed to address concerns over the current practices of analysis and modeling in TMDL development and implementation in terms of analysis technique and model selections, data requirements and processing, calibration, validation, and uncertainty analysis and reporting.
