A general multimedia mass balance model was developed for Big Dam West, Kejimkujik Park, Nova Scotia to predict mercury (Hg) flux and fate in lakes. This model can be used as a screening-level tool by researchers with little to no modeling experience. The model requires no recalibration when applied...
