prediction of dissolved oxygen through mathematical modeling

Authors
abstract

water quality aspect with regard to dissolved oxygen was studied for a 24 kilometer stretch of malaprabha river in karnataka state, india. main objective of the research was to simulate the predicted dissolved oxygen depletion due to the waste load allocation in the river with the ambient observed values of dissolved oxygen, and to ascertain the application of mathematical modeling for predicting the dissolved oxygen in a mixing zone. the entire river stretch selected for the study was divided in to four stations and water samples were collected from each station, and analyzed for different parameters. station s1 was purely the upstream of the sewage discharge point and hence reflected the water quality of the river without pollution. station s2 and downstream stations were the part of mixing zone where the discharged sewage at s2 kept spreading. dissolved oxygen levels at these four stations were calculated through mathematical modeling, considering all variables that affect dissolved oxygen variation. further, this predicted dissolved oxygen found with the application of mathematical modeling was then simulated with the actual observed values of dissolved oxygen in these four stations. the results were highly encouraging, with the predicted values almost agreeing with the observed values. thus the application of such mathematical modeling may be useful for a river stretch where water pollution due to the discharge of effluents is expected, and will help the engineers in arriving at a proper waste-load allocation for the river.

mathematical modeling of dissolved oxygen in fish ponds

a mathematical model was developed to predict the effects of wind speed, light, ph, temperature, dissolved carbon dioxide and chemical oxygen demand (cod) on dissolved oxygen (do) in fish ponds. the effects of organic feeds, aeration and fish activity were added to the model developed by kayombo et al. for waste stabilization ponds (ecological modeling 127(2000): 21-31) to reflect the situat...

Application of Gene Expression Programming to water dissolved oxygen concentration prediction

This research based on record and collected data from four stations at Eymir Lake, Turkey, which are monitored daily in seven months. Water quality monitoring using former methods are time-needed and expensive, while the application of gene expression programming is more understandable, rapid, and reliable which is used in this article to provide a prediction for dissolved oxygen. The concentra...

Mathematical Modeling and Neural Network Control for Dissolved Oxygen of Aquaculture Pond Aeration System

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is considered as one of the most important aspect of aquaculture. It is needed by fish to respire and perform metabolic activities. Thus low levels of dissolved oxygen are often linked to fish kill incidents. On the other hand, optimum levels can result to good growth, thus result to high production yield. To increase pond production it is necessary to control dissolved ox...

Modeling dissolved oxygen dynamics and hypoxia

Hypoxia conditions are increasing throughout the world, influencing biogeochemical cycles of elements and marine life. Hypoxia results from complex interactions between physical and biogeochemical processes, which can not be understood by observations alone. Models are invaluable tools at studying system dynamics, generalizing discrete observations and predicting future states. They are also us...

Mathematical Modeling of Road Traffic Noise Prediction

Noise is one of the environmental pollutant that is encountered in daily life. Noise pollution has become a major concern of communities living in the vicinity of major highway corridors. In view of the rapid development it is essential to study highway noise with respect to various causative factors. In the present paper a road traffic noise prediction model for Indian conditions is developed ...
