ES RDE 088 - Bathing Water Hype model

Environment Agency Self-Service Direct Award.

The work will be to produce an updated version of the national Hype model used for bathing waters. The model will be used primarily to enable us to meet our requirements to provide a feasibility assessment for potential new designations. To do this we need information on predicted FIO quality, the source apportionment of FIOs and estimations of what realistic reductions of these sources would achieve to the estimated quality. The model also should provide outputs that can be used to inform the economic assessment of feasibility.
