Water Quality Modeling

This volume provides a practical approach to the various facets of water quality modeling and emphasizes the application of estuarine models in formulating water quality management strategies. It is based on lecture material given to graduate students at the University of Virginia.

This volume to discussing the various aspects of estuarine water quality modeling. Topics considered include fundamental principles, estuarine mass transport, BOD/DO and eutrophication model kinetics, kinetics on toxicants, and sediment-water interactions. The book also discusses mixing zone modeling and how to integrate estuarine hydrodynamic and water quality models. Many case studies demonstrating successful model applications are discussed.
