Hydrologic data from a typical agricultural basin is used to run the Integrated Design and Evaluation Assessment of Loadings (IDEAL) model. A retention pond is used to model the capture of nitrogen and phosphorus in storm water runoff. The IDEAL model is linked with a genetic algorithm to find...
The project site model was also used to simulate the 25 year-24 h design storm. A year-long continuous simulation was performed to evaluate performance of the retention pond under representative current and future conditions (i.e., 2012 and 2060). For the annual design storm simulation, the ...
