The Pit Lake Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model

Project description

PITLAKQ - The Pit Lake Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model

PITLAKQ couples the models CE-QUAL-W2 and PHREEQC and adds new functionality to account for the pit lake requirements. It includes the most important processes in pit lakes. For example, several sources of acidity such as erosion or release from submerged sediments and spatially distributed groundwater inflow help to better represent pit lake conditions. Furthermore, PITLAKQ can account for the effects of water treatment on water quality. The two-dimensional model setup with one vertical and one horizontal dimension allows having sinks and sources with defined spatial locations.

PITLAKQ is Open Source (BSD license). You can find the source on GitLab. Please sign up for the email list to stay current with the latest news. Please subscribe (pitlakq-users+subscribe@googlegroups.com) to get your questions about PITLAKQ answered.
