... With the channel dimensions, one can determine channel flow speed. Assuming a limited area of application data from the various sources noted above, the model could apply simple conservation of water mass principles to determine the flow fields in the area of interest.

... for the Mississippi River at Vicksburg, MS from the USGS. As an alternative to using the current version of the USCG Inland ERSP Calculator, an oil spill model could be applied locally using input from the above flow model and specifications of the spill release rate, duration, and oil type to predict the oil spill transport and fate.
