“…The Clean Water Coalition (CWC), composed of the member agencies of the City of Las Vegas (COLV), the City of Henderson (COH), City of North Las Vegas (CONLV), and the Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD), together with the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA), funded the development of the model. The 3-dimensional (3-D) hydrodynamic and water quality LMM was developed using the Estuary Lake and Coastal Oceans Model (ELCOM) and the Computational Aquatic Ecosystem DYnamics Model (CAEDYM) and was calibrated and validated against measured field data for the 2000-2008 period for temperature, conductivity, perchlorate, bromide, chlorophyll a (Chl-a), nutrients (i.e., phosphorus and nitrogen), total organic carbon (TOC), pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO; Preston et al 2014).…”
