ABSTRACT
This paper provides some insight into how the water quality calculations performed in watershed models can be improved by integrating the latest methodology employed by state-of- the-art water quality models. Suggestions include adding a sediment submodel, allowing for the addition of another phytoplankton group, and adding a two- or three-dimensional capability for modeling the receiving waters.
