Description

This solicitation seeks to improve the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks' modelling capabilities by developing an ECOLab template that includes equations describing the fate of sulphate and mercury in freshwater aquatic environments. The work involves enhancing the existing MIKE Zero nutrient cycling template to simulate the fate of sodium sulphate and mercury, including their interactions with iron, phosphorus, and nitrogen. Additionally, the project includes migrating the current hydrodynamic emergency response modelling system from a Windows to a Linux operating environment to better simulate spills and protect drinking water intakes and the Great Lakes ecosystem.
