A model called CCHE1D was developed to study water quality and ecosystems in streams. It predicts water temperature and the levels of phytoplankton, Zooplankton, and fish. The model considers processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and nutrient cycling. Testing in the Tualatin River, Oregon, showed that the model accurately predicts water quality parameters.
