RECOVER Model Needs Report
This report, developed by the RECOVER Evaluation Team, identifies current models developed for the South Florida ecosystem, and recommends both long-term and short-term priorities for model development. This report is intended as a tool for CERP sponsoring and participating agencies to prioritize model development for CERP activities.

SFWMM
South Florida Water Management Model. Simulates the hydrology and management of the southern Florida water resources system from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay. See the SFWMM web site for documentation and model review. Please note that this link will open in a new window.

ELM
Everglades Landscape Model (available pending model review). Predicts landscape response and water quality changes as a result of water management scenarios. See ELM web site for model status, including current calibration and documentation.

LOWQM
Lake Okeechobee Water Quality Model. Simulates eutrophication process in water column and underlying sediments in Lake Okeechobee to produce estimates of total phosphorus. See LOWQM web site for further details.

Other System-Wide Models will be added as needed in the future.
