What is it about?

This paper carries out a statistical comparison between simulated and observed data, error quantification and simulation efficiency in order to assess the functionality of water quality (WQ) models for simulating the WQ of RB. The simulation case of RB was compared using advanced MIKE-11 and simple QUAL2K WQ models. Despite the simplicity of the QUAL2K model, it showed a good adequacy compared to MIKE-11.

Why is it important?

This approach was set up to evaluate the cost-effective simulation adequacy using different WQ models and assess the gap between simulation simplicity and results accuracy.

Perspectives

I hope it may help researchers to decide prior to their application which model can use according to their expected interpretation results.
