Water Quality Modeling Application to Estuaries, Volume III [Hardcover]

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.Preface. . Introduction to River and Stream Water Quality Modeling: Basic Principles and Limitations for Modeling.
