With the hydromt_delwaq plugin, users can easily benefit from the rich set of tools of the HydroMT package to build and update DELWAQ models from available global and local data.

This plugin assists the modeller in:

  • Quickly setting up a model and default parameter values

  • Making maximum use of the best available global or local data

  • Adjusting and updating components of a delwaq model and their associated parameters in a consistent way

Water quality and emission, fate and transport of pollutants through the landscape, rivers and oceans is very much linked to the water movements. For this reason, hydroMT strongly links DELWAQ modelbuilding to an underlying hydrology / hydraulic or hydrodynamic model. As of now, only the link between ** Wflow and DELWAQ ** is supported.

This plugin supports both:

  • emission models, **D-Emission ** (also referred to as EM in hydroMT), that predicts the quantity (fluxes) of substances being released from sources of pollutants to the surface waters (mass/time).

  • fate and transport models, **D-Water Quality ** (also referred to as WQ in hydroMT), that predicts the fate and transport of substances in the surface waters (concentrations in mass / volume).
