           CE-QUAL-W2 is a longitudinal/vertical, unsteady hydrodynamic and water quality model. This model has been successfully applied in numerous applications, ranging from steeply sloping rivers to deep reservoirs and narrow estuaries. This workshop, presented by Portland State University, provides a thorough review of the background of the model’s water quality, hydrodynamic, and numerical algorithms; computer laboratory sessions for setting up and running the model; and a day where case studies of CE-QUAL-W2 applications will be presented. This workshop is designed for biologists, hydrologists; geologists; engineers; chemists; city, state, and federal regulators; site planners and project managers; compliance/regulatory program managers for industry; and technical experts. Some technical background and experience in surface water quality problems is presumed. Lectures have been prepared covering the following topics:

  • Water quality modeling
  • Hydrodynamic modeling
  • CE-QUAL-W2 governing equations
  • CE-QUAL-W2 model structure
  • CE-QUAL-W2 solution algorithms
  • Data requirements for calibration
  • Model calibration
  • Case studies
  • Computer sessions

          The workshop will be held between Monday, June 18 and Friday, June 22, 2007 in the Northwest Center for Engineering, Science and Technology at Portland State University, new home of the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science (1930 SW Fourth Avenue, Portland, Oregon, 97201). This room is equipped with computer projection equipment. The workshop will commence each day at 8 am and finish at 4 pm. On Monday evening June 18, PSU will host a wine and cheese social after the first day's session. The last day of the workshop, Friday June 22, will be a series of case studies presented as seminars and will feature guest speakers from around the country. The cost of the workshop is $1026. All participants will receive a certificate of completion and PDH credits.
