Introduction to Water Quality

MIKE+ allows you to perform water quality simulations. In order to perform a water quality simulation, an extended period simulation must also be specified. Defining an extended period simulation was discussed in the previous section.

The following sections describe how to perform a particular type of water quality simulation, and the various water quality editors used to define each type of water quality simulation.

Water quality simulation is normally hidden in the Setup tree on the left but it can be brought up by enabling the 'Water quality' module in the 'Model type' editor.

Note

MIKE+ can only perform one type of water quality analysis during a simulation: Point Constituent Source or Trace Nodes.
