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.Introduction to Estuarine Water Quality Modeling. Fundamentals of Estuarine Modeling. Quantifying Estuarine Mass Transport. Water Column Kinetics I: Dissolved Oxygen and Eutrophication. Water Column Kinetics II: Toxic Substances. Modeling Sediment-Water Interactions. Integrating Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models. Estuarine Mixing Zone Analysis.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.US? 1993 by CRC Press, Inc.
