摘要：

LOADEST is a program for estimating constituent loads in rivers and streams developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), but it does not have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that facilitates processing of large amounts of data. Therefore, we present the LOAD ESTimation (LOADEST) Parallel Data Processing Interface (LPDPI). LPDPI is unique as it features an easy-to-use workflow for data download and water quality estimations for numerous stations and multiple constituents and is readily applicable to any station with both flow and water quality data available. LPDPI incorporates a parallel module for faster load estimation and can identify and fix errors that occur while running LOADEST by adjusting calibration and estimation data inputs. LPDPI also includes an extension to extract and filter LOADEST output to facilitate further data analysis and use of the data to calibrate hydrologic models. The tool is a standalone executable for Windows and can be readily used without any additional packages or software installation.
