DEQ manages the Total Maximum Daily Load program for the State
of Oklahoma. A TMDL is the process of establishing the sources of
impairment in a given waterbody, whether from point sources (discharges)
or non-point sources (runoff), determining the amount of reduction
necessary to meet water quality standards in that waterbody, and
allocating the loads to the various contributors of pollution. A
margin of safety is also included in the TMDL calculation process.
Water-quality modeling is the linkage between the sources of pollution
and the instream water quality of a given waterbody. A model is
a representation of the water-quality processes that occur in a
given waterbody.
Water-quality modeling can be resource-intensive. Different levels
of complexity may be used depending on the level of confidence required
in a given situation.
