AQUATOX: Modelling Environmental Risk and Damage Assessment, a new volume in the Developments in Environmental Modelling series, provides a single source for all AQUATOX applications, including basic equations, applications and examples on model implementation in various aquatic habitats (riverine, lacustrine and estuarine). The book presents a comprehensive reference source for AQUATOX model applications that can be used for an ecological modeling course at the graduate level. Throughout the text, chapter headings are organized to help users understand model building processes, state variables, and components. Case studies are provided to enhance learning and help readers assemble and calibrate their own AQUATOX applications. Includes a detailed description of AQUATOX equations for researchers and practitioners (including regulatory agencies) Presents study files, descriptions of implementation, and the data used as a starting point for new study applications Explores case studies of various sample applications and how specific problems are approached, including eutrophication issues in lakes and streams and natural resource damages in Estuarine Areas

An integrated nutrient budget for Lake Conway, Florida, was developed that integrated physical, chemical, and biological relationships. A hydrologic budget was constructed from measurements of stormwater runoff, subsurface seepage flows, and existing precipitation and evaporation data. It was determined that major sources of external nitrogen and phosphorus loadings were from atmospheric loadings, urban runoff, and subsurface seepage. Based upon a simulation model of the phosphorus dynamics of Lake Conway, it was concluded that sedimentation of phosphorus was occurring at higher than predicted rates, nutrient release by submerged macrophytes was salient to phosphorus dynamics, and release of phosphorus by sediments was not a significant internal source of this nutrient.
