EPA’s Water Quality Modeling Workgroup is hosting a series of webinars to help water quality professionals better understand surface water quality modeling and how models can be used to solve common problems that face water quality regulators. The webinars are focused on modeling as it applies to the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), Standards, and Water Quality Permitting Programs, but they are applicable to a wide range of audiences. These two hour webinars cover everything from modeling basics (e.g., model setup and calibration) to applied water quality modeling of different pollutants.
Introduction to APEX Webinar
This webinar will introduce the Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) model. APEX is a public domain model developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research, part of the Texas A&M University System. APEX was developed for use in whole farm/watershed management. The model offers advantages for simulating various land management strategies considering sustainability, erosion (wind, sheet, and channel), economics, water supply and quality, animal grazing, soil quality, plant competition, weather and pests. This webinar will provide an overview of APEX capabilities and processes and will present selected application case studies.
Speaker: Dr. Jaehak Jeong, Texas A&M University
