Operation Baseline Project 1: Conceptual Framework

Science activity #49809, updated 14 December 2022

Operation Baseline Project 1: Conceptual Framework

Description / purpose

A multidisciplinary team will develop a thorough conceptual model that will describe current conditions and consider changes from the WWTP upgrade. The model will be used to identify the highest priority science questions and investigations to pursue before, during, and after the plant upgrade.
