The main objective of guidance document is to provide the participants with basic knowledge about how to set up a two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) lake model and run a solution for Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code Plus (EFDC+).  The course guidance covers preparation of the necessary input files for the EFDC+ model and visualization of the output by using the EFDC_Explorer Modeling System (EEMS).  Lake Thonotosassa (Lake T) serves as a case study to illustrate the general process of developing a model from basic to complex, using data from the Hillsborough Water Atlas, Lake Thonotosassa, Florida, USA. Step-by-step guidance in how to build this model is provided in the EE Knowledge Base. After this training, the participants will be able to:

1. Set up a basic hydrodynamic model from input data, using EFDC_Explorer (EE) Version 10.1
2. Visualize, extract, and manage EFDC+ model outputs in EE
3. Set up a more complex model by adding temperature and dye modules into the basic model
4. Set up a water quality model by adding nutrient, algae, benthic, and other parameters into the basic model and water quality data series to model boundary locations.
