Stream Water Quality Modelling Techniques (original) (raw)

Springer water, 2019

Abstract

Water quality in open channels plays a significant role in water resources planning and management. Water quality models are important decision support tools for water pollution control, the study of the aquatic ecosystems and the assessment of the effects of point and non-point (diffuse pollution) sources. Modelling of stream water quality is broadly used to assess current conditions and impacts of proposed measures in water quality management. The modelling is based on knowledge about parameters describing transport processes like hydrodynamic dispersion, advection and decay rates. According to the purpose, the scale of the studied area and the detail of solution various models of different levels are used. In this chapter, practical examples of screening, overall and detailed water quality studies applying modelling techniques are presented.
