Quality As in the original application by Rounds and others (1999), this application
of CE-QUAL-W2 modeled the Tualatin River from RM 38.4 (Rood Bridge) to RM 3.4
(Oswego Dam), the reach with most of the water-quality problems. Both Rock
Creek WWTP (RM 38.1) adn the Durham WWTP (RM 9.3) were included as tributary
inputs. Ten other tributaries were ...
