Approach…
1. Spa6al and temporal analysis of DWR/IEP nutrient data
2. Use monitoring data and flow es6mates to quan6fy loads into and out of Delta, and budget
3. Calibrate hydrologic/WQ model (DSM2-‐QUAL)
4. Use simula6on modeling to quan6fy transforma6on rates under varying condi6ons: past, future -‐ hydrology, diversions -‐ changes in loads
Quantifying Delta N and P transformations and exports Funder: IEP Collabora6on: SFEI (Novick, Senn), RMA (Guerin), USGS (Kendall)

NH4 Budget: Delta -‐ Substan6al NH4 ‘loss’…nitrifica6on
-‐ annual avg = 60% -‐ max = 90%

C3 – 12 km downstream of SacRegional
D19 – Franks tract. Primarily Sacramento water
What happens within the Delta? -‐ where and when do transforma6ons/losses occur? -‐ what condi6ons favor transforma6ons/losses? -‐

Calibrate hydrologic/WQ model (DSM2-‐QUAL)
Use simula6on modeling to quan6fy transforma6on rates under varying condi6ons: past, future -‐ hydrology, diversions -‐ changes in loads
Key building block for phytoplankton modeling and acceptable loads
