EFDC model allows us to use the dye module. We can use the dye module to calculate the age of the water. Under the sediments/toxics/others tab, there is an option to enter either the decay rate/age of water. To estimate the age of the water I used the dye module and assign the upstream cells of dye concentration 100. I am trying to simulate the pulse release here. What does the age exactly mean here ? In the view plan after the simulation it shows like at first the age varies between 1-100 as I assigned rest of the cells as 1. After doing the simulation how do we analyze the simulation results ? I am attaching a sample time series of age of water here. Please help me understand the age of the water concept here. If anyone could show the sample model or analysis that would be great Thanks.
