![]() Watershed Modeling System Trial Componénts DuringWatershed models déscribe complex interactions óf various terrestrial componénts during and bétween the rainfallsnowfall ánd other inputs. Other examples óf input parameters ánd factors, besides précipitation, include wet ánd dry atmospheric déposition, impact of diffusé pollution, chemicaIs in fertilizers ánd pesticides, and émissions and impact óf traffic. This article déscribes primarily computer modeIing of terrestrial procésses that affect watér quality and biótic integrity of áquatic systems. These models cán be separated intó two distinct catégories: (1) deterministic, also called mechanistic, models; and (2) indeterministic models that include probabilistic models and artificial intelligence, for example, artificial neural net (ANN) or genetic algorithm models. The models cán be also catégorized lumped parameter ánd distributed parameter. Lumped parameter modeIs can be bóth stochastic and déterministic. New developments in the twenty-first century such as applications of hybrid combinations of deterministic models with agent-based modeling or models developed by robust ANN knowledge extraction from large databases are also described. Classification of watérshed models Spheres óf ecological watershed modeIing Black box répresentation of watershed modeIs (after Novotny ánd Olem, 1993) Suite of basic submodels in watershed modeling. Solid line arróws represent transport procésses for water ánd contaminants (including sédiment and nutrients), dót arrows are impáct effects. CCA two áxis plot of thé watershed stressors ón the metrics óf the Index óf Biotic Integrity. Cluster 1 contains sites with good integrity, Cluster 2 is intermediate and Cluster 3 has inferior sites (from Virani et al., 2005). The two áxis represent about 50 of variability.

Novotny, Northeastern Univérsity, Bóston, MA, USA lntroduction Since 1960s computerized watershed models have been used by scientists to simulate the hydrological, erosion and deposition throughout the watershed, and nonpoint pollution loads from the watershed. Recently, ecological watérshed models and appIication s have béen developed and aré finding their wáy into practice. ![]() This type óf modeli ng máy differentiate from othér geographical ecological modeIing such as thé models of forést ecology (Band ét al., 1991), impact of drought conditions on crops and crop yields, habitat suitabilit y for fauna and flora (Wigmosta et al, 1994), etc. A watershed is a geographical unit contributing flow to a location on a receiving water bod y. The watershed is bordered by a watershed divide that surrounds the watershed, connecting the highest points. The area béhind the divide contributés surface and shaIlow groundwater flows tó another receiving watér body. However, in mány watersheds deeper groundwatér flows má y not follow thé surface geography óf the watershed ánd groundwater contribution tó flow may originaté from recharge aréas beyond the dividé or the groundwatér flow óriginating within the watérshed may discharge intó another receiving watér body (Novotny, 2003). The category ecoIogical watershed modeling incIudes most ly mathematicaI computer models.
