ABSTRACT

The aim of this work was to apply a one-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality DYRESM–CAEDYM model to the Boadella reservoir, Catalonia, Spain. Thus, simulation length was two years (2000 and 2001) with the aim to predict temperature, dissolved inorganic phosphorus and chlorophyll. The DYRESM–CAEDYM input data were meteorological data, river inflow and outflow data, morphometry parameters, an initial profile and file configuration data. The CAEDYM model also requires a configuration file and initial profiles for all the water quality data, but these data are not complete. Therefore, simulation may not be reliable or well analysed because of a lack of field nutrient data; so we will focus on the simulation of temperature, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll. After simulation and calibration, coupling of those models might be a good tool to have an idea about Boadella reservoir water quality behaviour.
