<p>From the results of this project and report the
following conclusions seem warranted:</p>
<p>
1. The actual behavior of any real stream system,
subject to a point load, is dependent on an extremely
complex and integrated network of events which can occur in
series or parallel.</p>
<p>
2. The QUAL2E model considers the major events or
cycles of a stream system in a fully integrated manner,
offers the user many configuration options, and provides for
a wealth of essential output data. The documentation
provides reasonable explanation as to the means by which the
model simulates a stream system. The QUAL2E model can be
executed successfully by the first time user with minimal
effort.</p>
<p>
3. The DYNAMO model can be effectively invoked through
the use of differential equations that can be translated
into suitable DYNAMO expressions. The model is easy to learn
and can be executed by the first time user with minimal
effort.</p>
<p>
4. Input parameters and initial conditions for the both
the QUAL2E and DYNAMO models were reasonable for the purpose
intended. That being the comparison of the behavior of the
two systems.</p> / Master of Engineering
