The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process in the Clean Water Act is critical for improving water quality at a watershed level because it serves as a link between water quality standards and the implementation of control actions designed to attain those standards. The ASCE-EWRI TMDL Analysis and Modeling Task Committee wrote and published the ASCE Manual of Practice 150, “Total Maximum Daily Load Development and Implementation: Models, Methods, and Resources,” in February 2022 that fills the gap of a guidance document, continues to work on addressing climate resilience, socio-environmental systems, and holistic concepts as applicable to TMDLs and watershed management, and has initiated this Special Collection. The purpose of this Special Collection is to showcase recent advances in analysis and modeling for TMDL development and implementation as well as for holistic watershed management addressing climate resilience and socio-environmental systems in a transdisciplinary approach.
