Pollution loads from land sources and their impact on the receiving waters can be predicted by using land-use and surface water quality models, respectively. In this paper details are given of the development of an integrated modelling system for managing water quality in coastal basins. The system includes a model linking the pollution input loads to land-use and a model for simulating surface...

Developments in computer technology have revolutionized the study of hydrologic systems and water resources management. Several computer-based hydrologic/water quality models have been developed for applications in hydrologic modelling and water resources studies. Distributed parameter models, necessary for basin-scale studies, have large input data requirements. Geographic information systems ...

background: survey of pollution and evaluation of water quality in rivers with oregon water quality index (owqi) and gis are effective tools for management of the impact of environmental water resources. the information in calculating the wqi of moradbeik river allowed us to take our tests results and make a scientific conclusion about the quality of water. gis can be a powerful tool for develo...

Catchment management is becoming a more complex task. The sharing of water resources between traditional water users and the environment, the introduction of water and contaminant trading and water quantity and quality targets has necessitated a whole-of-catchment modelling approach. A variety of software products address this need. They range from abstract, general-purpose modelling frameworks...

An automated approach to hydrologic and water quality modeling on a catchment scale is presented, one that automatically produces suitable models from domain knowledge measured data. essential component of the methodology library, comprising hydrological nutrient loading processes containing alternative formulations for some them. The library written in formalism compatible with equation discov...

River water quality models are used extensively in research as well as in the design and assessment of water quality management measures. The application of mathematical models for that purpose dates back to the initial studies of oxygen depletion due to organic waste pollution. Since then, models have been constantly refined and updated to meet new and emerging problems of surface water pollut...
