TMDL Analysis and Modeling Task Committee

The purpose of the TMDL Analysis and Modeling Task Committee is to address and document concerns over the current practices of analysis and modeling in Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
development and implementation in terms of model selection, data requirements, calibration, validation and uncertainty reporting. First the committee reviewed the current practices of analysis and
modeling in TMDLs and documented in an ASCE/EWRI book, “Total Maximum Daily Load Analysis and Modeling: Assessment of the Practice,” in 2017. Secondly the committee published a special collection
of articles on “Total Maximum Daily Load Analysis and Modeling: Assessment and Advancement” in the Journal of Hydrologic Engineering during 2018-2019 based on state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice
reviews of various topics on the subject. Based on these reviews and further work, the committee is currently writing a manual of practice (MOP) on “TMDL Analysis and Modeling” to make available a
review of the current practices and potential future approaches of TMDL analysis and modeling for developing and implementing TMDLs.
