Abstract |
Water discharges from urban population centers, industries, rural runoff, and storm overflows carry significant quantities of nutrients, organic and inorganic pollution to our waterways. Programs to control water quality invariably require large capital and operating expenditures. Among the specific procedures which have been considered for pollution and water quality control are treatment plant construction, low flow augmentation, transportation of wastes and dispersion in oceans. It is the purpose of the report to present the mathematical models which will permit an assessment of water quality conditions and the improvements associated with various control procedures. |
