Task Group on River Water Quality Modeling

Peter Shanahan is a member of the IWA Task Group on River Quality Modeling, which was formed to review the current practice and state of the art in river water-quality modeling and to develop alternative models based on its findings.  The models developed are compatible with the existing IWA Activated Sludge Models (ASM-1, ASM-2, and ASM-3) and can be straightforwardly linked to them.  The Task Group published their final report as an IWA Scientific and Technical Report...more

Temperature Modeling in Surface Water Bodies

The paper, Water Temperature Modeling: A Practical Guide, was presented at the EPA Stormwater and Water Quality Model Users Group Meeting on April 12-13, 1984 in Detroit, Michigan.  It provides useful advice on modeling temperature and developing the meteorological parameters needed to model temperature...more

Research Project on Degraded River Basins

From 1992 to 1996, Peter Shanahan contributed to the Water Quality Management of Degraded River Basins in Central and Eastern Europe project at IIASA,  This project focused on those rivers in the CEE countries that have been excessively polluted by municipal and industrial wastes.  The project sought innovative strategies for improving water quality within the context of the social, political, and economic transition of Central and Eastern Europe...more
