Abstract
Water authority organizations are interested in information the existing situation, seasonal variations and expectations of the future situation of the water quality parameters of surface and groundwater. While detail information about surface water or ground water are available, deterministic models for predicting future values of water quality is more proper than stochastic models. In this regard, numerical models demonstrated an impressive capacity to support important water resource decisions. Therefore, in this chapter Ce-Quel-W2 and Qual-2K models as numerical models that are applied to simulate water quality are described in details. At the end, using Ce-Qual-W2 model the water quality of Karkheh Dam, which located in the Northwestern province of Khūzestān in Iran as a case study, is investigated. In addition the application of Qual-2K models for simulating water quality of the Kārūn River, which located in the south west of Iran, was described.
