CE-QUAL-W2 is a longitudinal/vertical, unsteady hydrodynamic and water quality model, which has been successfully applied in numerous applications, ranging from steeply sloping rivers to deep reservoirs and narrow estuaries. This popular workshop provides a thorough review of the background of the model’s water quality, hydrodynamic, and numerical algorithms; computer laboratory sessions for setting up and running the model; and a day where case studies of CE-QUAL-W2 applications will be presented. The workshop is designed for biologists, hydrologists; geologists; engineers; chemists; city, state, and federal regulators; site planners and project managers; compliance/regulatory program managers for industry; and technical experts.
The workshop will be conducted on Zoom on January 30, 2026, from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm PST. Workshop model files will be available approximately one week before the workshop starts. The user will need a Windows PC to run workshop example problems and will need to have installed model files before the workshop begins.
