WASP is one of the most widely used water quality models in the United States and throughout the world. Because of the models capabilities of handling multiple pollutant types it has been widely applied in the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL). WASP has capabilities of linking with hydrodynamic and watershed models which allows for multi-year analysis under varying meteorological and environmental conditions. WASP has been applied to all of the major estuaries in Florida where it was linked with a hydrodynamic and watershed model simulating 12 continuous years to aid US EPA in the development of numeric nutrient criteria. Other examples of its use are: eutrophication of Tampa Bay, FL; phosphorus loading to Lake Okeechobee, FL; eutrophication of the Neuse River Estuary, NC; eutrophication Coosa River and Reservoirs, AL; PCB pollution of the Great Lakes, eutrophication of the Potomac Estuary, kepone pollution of the James River Estuary, volatile organic pollution of the Delaware Estuary, and heavy metal pollution of the Deep River, North Carolina, mercury in the Savannah River, GA.
