The 2010 beta edition of the Watershed Treatment Model (WTM) was tested in Shipbuilder’s Creek, a small watershed draining directly to Lake Ontario. The WTM is a spreadsheet-based, decision-making and pollutant-accounting tool that calculates annual runoff volumes and pollutant loads in small watersheds.
