Abstract
The new River Water Quality Model no.1 introduced in the two accompanying papers by
Shanahan et al. and Reichert et al. is comprehensive. Shanahan et al. introduced a six-step decision
procedure to select the necessary model features for a certain application. This paper specifically addresses
one of these steps, i.e. the selection of submodels of the comprehensive biochemical conversion model
introduced in Reichert et al. Specific conditions for inclusion of one or the other conversion process or model
component are introduced, as are some general rules that can support the selection. Examples of simplified
models are presented.
