Option 1. Remove deselected models from the list:  

Option 2. Select a subset of the table:

Option 3. Reselect for specific applications:

Reselect for those models that can be used in one or more of the following domain(s): rivers estuaries lakes reservoirs watersheds channel networks bays coastal areas seas

Reselect for those models that simulate each of the following water-quality constituent(s): conservative tracer temperature coliform bacteria inorganic suspended solids total dissolved solids dissolved organic matter particulate organic matter BOD CBOD cohesive sediments noncohesive sediments bottom sediment sediment diagenesis detritus dissolved oxygen nitrogen phosphorus silica algae zooplankton fish metals manganese iron sulfur alkalinity pH user-defined constituent

Start over, including all domains and water-quality constituents.

Option 4. Comparisons:

NOTE that these tabular comparisons work MUCH BETTER if the list of models has been reduced to only a few using steps 1 and 2 above.

Compare the summaries of these models.
Compare the status of these models.
Compare these models by water-quality constituents simulated.
Compare these models by parameter requirements.
Compare these models by data requirements.
Compare these models by domains.
