Surface Water Quality Modeling - Tapa blanda

Since the 1920s scientists and engineers have been using mathematic models to stimulate the transport and fate of pollutants in natural waters. Today and in the forseeable future more of these applications are being generated in an effort to develop ecomnomic solutions to water quality problems. The primary auidence for this book is the advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students, including both MSc and PhD. The first two parts of the text cover modelling fundamentals, including material on mathematics, numerical methods, kinetics and diffusion. The remaining parts deal with major water quality modelling problems such as dissolved oxygen, eutrophication and toxics. The book has a strong computer-orientation - a specifically created Visual Basic program is available over the Internet.
