Pollutant Load Estimate

Estimates annual Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Phosphorus (TP), and Total Nitrogen (TN) pollutant loads from urban catchments using the Event Mean Concentration (EMC) method. Computes annual runoff volume as V = C*P*A*10 and multiplies by EMC values per MUSIC guidelines and Australian Runoff Quality to support water-sensitive urban design.
