Lake Mead Sigma-Zed Application

Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the USA, and 16th largest man-made lake in the world. Lake Mead is formed by the Hoover Dam along the Colorado River. EFDC modeling studies have indicated that water level drawdown plays an important role in thermal stratification and water movement of Lake Mead during receding water levels (Li, 2010).

Pearl Harbor Model Development

DSI recently completed development of an EFDC model of the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. We supported Sea Engineering International in this work, which will simulate the transport and deposition of suspended sediment caused by the dredging. The model accurately reproduces the flow dynamics inside and outside of Pearl Harbor and will be used for a planning…
