Overview of the VELMA Application and other modeling tools

ROCS-NET presentation presented held at Corvallis OR ORD lab on October 18th and November 2nd.

Impact/Purpose

The main objective of this research has been to establish a scientifically sound watershed simulation model that can help inform stormwater managementdecisions by communities, tribes, and government agencies seeking green infrastructure solutions for reducing runoff of 6PPD-quinone and other toxicchemicals in urban runoff impacting salmonids and other sensitive species. Key component of this research is a holistic perspective through a multi-modelintegration to provide a better understanding of ecosystem services under alternative scenario plans. Results from these simulations will be fed into theSalish Sea Model for nutrient and contaminant cycling that will be fed into the Atlantis food web model.
