tmdl: Calculates TMDL

In tmdl: Flow and Load Duration Curve plots for TMDL

Description

Calculates TMDL

Usage

tmdl(data, names = list(), mult = 2.446576, WQS = 0.1, target = WQS,
 WLA = NA, MOS = TRUE, intervals = fi, interp = "spline")

Arguments

data	Typically result of rankflow, a data.frame with columns "Q" & "exc". Those can be overriden using names
names	List that can specify custom column names in data frame data for Q and exc
mult	Multiplier to convert flow rate times pollutant concentration to resulting load units. If flow rate is given in cfs and pollutant concentration in ppm, default mult yields load in kg/day
WQS	Water quality standard
target	Same as WQS. Has precedence over WQS.
WLA	Wate Load Allocation
MOS	Margin Of Safety. FALSE for implicit, 0-1 to use % of Load Capacity, or TRUE to calculate MOS for flow interval as a difference between LC for median and low flows for a given flow interval
intervals	Currently broken
interp	How to interpolate WLA for different exceedance level. Used in plotting.

Details

WLA can be one of the following

• numeric length of 1 or 5

• matrix of data.frame with 5 columns

• list of functions

Value

Object of class "tmdl", essentially a list with the following components...

Examples

data(flow)
data(pol)
flow.ranked <- rankflow(flow,pol,names=list(date="Date",Q="cfs"))
fd.fig <- fdplot(flow.ranked,names=list(Q="cfs"),values=TRUE)
WQS <- 5 # mg/L => 10 NTU
WLA.construction = function(exc,LC,MOS,LC.fun,MOS.fun) {
  LA = ifelse(exc>75, LC.fun(75)-MOS.fun(75), LC - MOS)
  .01 * LA
}
MS4.Duluth = function(exc,LC,MOS,LC.fun,MOS.fun) {
  .16 * (LC-MOS-WLA.construction(exc,LC,MOS,LC.fun,MOS.fun))
}
WLA=list(WLA=WLA.construction, MS4=MS4.Duluth)
kr.tmdl <- tmdl(flow.ranked,names=list(Q="cfs",pol="TSS"),WQS=WQS, WLA=WLA)
summary(kr.tmdl)
