Fifteen Years of WRTDS for Advancing Water-Quality Science: A Review of Methodological Developments and Global Applications.

In addition, WRTDS includes a built-in “flow-normalization” algorithm to remove the noise of natural hydrologic variability, which can help reveal water-quality changes related to management actions. In rivers, streamflow and water-quality concentrations are often correlated, and thus a sequence of wet or dry years may induce an apparent trend that reverses direction once conditions return to normal.
