Abstract: A vertically averaged two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate watermovements in small shallow unstratified impoundments.The hydrodynamic model was then cou-pled with a two-dimensional pollutant transport model to calculate the mass fluxes of pollutants.The differential equations were numerically solved on a space staggered grid using a two-level timeADI integration scheme.The model has been tested using data collected for a small detention pondin Charlottesville,Virginia(Yu et al.,1987,Benelmouffok and Yu,1989).Recently,data for asmall detention pond located in an urban area west of Orlando,Florida were obtained through acontractual agreement with the USGS Gulf Coase Hydrologic Center for further testing of themodel(Jennings,1988,Martin,1988).The data were collected by USGS during a 2-year periodfrom 1982 through 1984,containing hydrologic and water quality data for thirteen storms.Besidesdissolved and particulate constituents,data on several dye tests were also made available for modeltesting.Results for the dye test data analysis and metal data simulations are presented below.
