SedSim

  • Sediment Simulation Screening Model useful for evaluating reservoir sediment management options for cascades of dams, and the impacts of those strategies on energy production and flow regime alteration
  • Source code language: Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
  • Open-source access: https://github.com/FeralFlows/SedSim 

PySedSim

  • An open-source, object-oriented version of SedSim developed in Python language
  • Features include detailed representations of reservoir sediment management techniques; stochastic (monte carlo) simulation, including stochastic hydrology component; and reservoir operating policy optimization with evolutionary multi-objective direct policy search
  • Open-source access: https://github.com/FeralFlows/pysedsim

Stream Water Quality (SWQ) Model 

  • Implements a flexible, semi-Lagrangian approach to river water quality modeling that permits any time step and segmenting scheme
  • Constituents include: dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, organic nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate, organic phosphorus, inorganic phosphorus, phytoplankton, and others
  • Source code language: C++ (simulation), Tcl/Tk (user interface)
