Final Report

 

Water Budget Workshop: Tuesday-Wednesday, May 11-12, 2004

The Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program will be hosting a two day technical exchange workshop to develop a “water budget” for the greater Charlotte Harbor estuarine system. The program wishes to fulfill three objectives with this workshop.

  1. Quantify the existing water budget -- existing monthly inflows and outflows to Charlotte Harbor estuary.
  1. Estimate the “predevelopment” or natural system’s water budget -- monthly inflows and outflows to Charlotte Harbor estuary.
  1. Determine how to best enable the existing water budget to resemble the natural system’s water budget.

Water Budget Workshop Description and Agenda as of May 3

The Water Budget Workshop will only be held Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Modeling Workshop: Thursday, May 13, 2004

The one day modeling workshop will include presentations from those who have developed models of Charlotte Harbor, its tributaries and the nearby Gulf of Mexico. The workshop will culminate into a discussion of the strengths and weakness of each model, the appropriate use for each model, such as TMDLs or MFLs, and whether there is a need for one core model for the Charlotte Harbor region.

Modeling Workshop Description and Agenda as of May 3

The Modeling Workshop will only on Thursday.
