Units for water quality input files

Tue, 02/14/2006 - 9:04am — vickies
Hello, I was wondering what the units should be for water quality parameters in input files, particularly NH4, NOx, and alkalinity. The manual states that they should be g/m3. For NH4 and NOx, is this g/m3 of N or in terms of each constituents' chemical formula? For alkalinity, should the concentrations be expressed in terms of g/m3 of CaCO3? Thanks,

Vickies, The units of NH4, NOx, and alkalinity are all g/m3 (or mg/l). NH4 and NOx are g/m3 of N and alkalinity is g/m3 of CaCO3. chris
