Next Release of WASP
Version 8.5 Release Date: August 25, 2025
Sorry for the delay, issue exists in the Toxicant Model
Enhancements:
Update Hydrodynamic Linkage and dynamic timestep algoriths when linked with EFDC hydrodynamic model.
Added additional phytoplankton light growth functions. Eutrophication model now has the following light growth formulations: Steele, Half Saturation, Smith and Jassby-Platt

WASP Tutorials
WASP's YouTube channel is a niche gem for anyone interested in water quality modeling and environmental simulation tools. With over 15 videos and nearly 600 subscribers, the channel dives deep into technical topics like:
🧪 WASP Tutorials: Including command-line usage, model calibration with WRDB Graph, and introductory webinars.
📊 Data Visualization: Workshops and webinars on visualizing model results and using open-source scripts.
🌎 Modeling Applications: Presentations on data needs for watershed modeling and EPA-supported tools.
You can explore the channel on YouTube. If you’re working with WASP or similar tools, it’s a solid resource for practical insights and walkthroughs. Want help summarizing one of his videos or integrating a technique into your own modeling workflow
