Description:
The American-Soviet Symposium on Use of Mathematical Models to Optimize Water Quality Management examines methodological questions related to simulation and optimization modeling of processes that determine water quality of river basins. Discussants describe the general state of development and application of mathematical models designed to predict and optimize water quality management in the USA and USSR. Subjects of papers presented by American and Soviet specialists include: planning comprehensive water quality protection systems; modeling water quality in river basins; geographic-economic aspects of pollution control systems; identification of ecosystem models by field data; management decisions for lake systems on a survey of trophic status, limiting nutrients, and nutrient loadings; a descriptive simulation model for forecasting the condition of a water system; mathematical ecosystem models and a description of the water quality in water bodies; mathematical modeling strategies applied to Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron, to eutrophical processes in Lake Ontario, to hydrodynamics and dispersion of contaminants in the nearshore, and to coastal currents in large lakes; and the construction of a model of Lake Baikal on the principles of self-organization. Publication of the proceedings held December 9-16, 1975, in Karkov and Rostov-on-Don, USSR, is in compliance with the Memorandum from the Fourth Session of the Joint American-Soviet Committee on Cooperation in the Field of Environmental Research.
