EE serves as a graphical user interface to the water quality module of EFDC+. The original EFDC module was based on HEM3D (Park, et. al. 2000) and EFDC+ provides many enhancements and additions to that module.
The water quality module in EE has several sub-menu items including Biota, Kinetics, Nutrients, Sediment Fluxes, Rooted Macrophytes Options , and General Options. The report of the configuration can be viewed with an LMC on each item, and RMC will open the Water Quality form to generally modify the settings as shown in Figure 1 below. These menu items are described on the pages following. Note that the implementation of the water quality varies between versions of EFDC+ so the user should be aware of what is contained in the source code for their particular version of EFDC+. What is described below relates to EEMS12.
