The project Research mud dynamics Ems-Dollard explores the reasons for the historic increase in turbidity, and which measures can be designed to improve the water quality in the area. This report describes the set up of the water quality model of the effect-chain model. The model describes three types of pelagic algae (phytoplankton), benthic diatoms, light climate and detailed nutrient cycles in the water and sediment. It is driven by modelled hydrodynamics and suspended sediment concentrations for 2012 and 2013, and uses observations for the year 2012 and 2013 regarding boundary conditions, meteorological forcing and river loads.
