Phase 7 Model Development
In ProgressThese updated modeling tools will be used by the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership to inform decisions related to the nutrient and sediment reduction goals outlined in the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.
Description
Currently in development, the Phase 7 Modeling Tools will be used by the partnership to inform decisions related to the nutrient and sediment reduction goals outlined in the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. Integral to this updated suite of tools is the ability to project climate change effect through 2035. The model, which will be ready for use by 2027, consists of seven interrelated projects: (1) High Resolution Land Use, (2) Chesapeake Assessment Scenario Tool (CAST), (3) Optimization, (4) Agricultural Inputs, (5) Atmospheric Deposition Modeling, (6) Watershed Modeling, (7) Estuarine Modeling and (8) Criteria Assessment.
