    Because all water body systems are different, the specific characteristics must be accounted for in creating a proper TMDL for each water body. In some cases, to account for both variability and uncertainty in nonpoint source pollution, one dimensional water quality model was integrated with Bayesian statistics and load duration curve methods to develop a variable total maximum daily load for total nitrogen (Chen 2012). Using an integrated model such as this allows for the variability and uncertainty
