Environmental Modeling

Waterborne is a recognized leader in environmental modeling. We conduct studies to address the impacts of agricultural and specialty chemicals to nontarget crops, terrestrial and aquatic organisms, groundwater, and human health. We also pioneer approaches for modeling metabolites; runoff and erosion processes; water-sediment interaction; soil photolysis, runoff buffers; and rice, turf, and orchard agriculture.

Waterborne is a recognized leader in environmental modeling.

Waterborne staff follow a systematic approach when conducting modeling studies to ensure that critical processes are evaluated and study objectives are met in an effective manner. This approach provides us with an understanding of governing equations, parameter sensitivity, and model limitations. Our ability to address atypical agronomic or environmental conditions by developing new models, adapting existing models to better represent critical processes, or applying novel approaches to conventional models sets us apart.

Our staff has experience with many internationally recognized environmental fate models, including PRZM-3, SWAT, MED-RICE, SWMM, EXAMSII, AgDRIFT, LEACHM, PELMO, PEARL, GeoPEARL, MetaPEARL, MACRO, TOXSWA, RIVWQ, RICEWQ, RZWQM, FSCBG, PCPF-1, MAMPEC, and QUAL2E. These models are used to predict chemical leaching, runoff, and spray drift; characterize exposure concentrations in receiving water; and evaluate the effectiveness of agricultural best management practices and other mitigation measures.
