This research was initiated with the objective of investigating the potential of constructed wetlands covered by duckweeds and connected to the branches of Bahr Hadous drain on its salinity, and subsequently, its discharge into El-Salam canal. Primarily, literature was reviewed. Data was assembled and analysed. The water quality model QUAL2K was used in this investigation. Moreover, electrical ...

In recent years, water quality degradation associated with rapid socio-economic development in the Taihu Lake Basin, China, has attracted increasing attention from both the public and the Chinese government. The primary sources of pollution in Taihu Lake are its inflow rivers and their tributaries. Effective water environmental management strategies need to be implemented in these rivers to imp...

The optimal Waste Load Allocation (WLA) problem, in general, is a mathematical model incorporating a water quality simulator within the framework of multi objective optimization. The goals are defined as to improve the water quality and minimize the total treatment cost of dischargers. The fraction removal levels of the dischargers are the decision variables. This paper explores the capabilitie...

Human activities in the recent years have considerably increased the rate of water pollution in many regions of the world. In this case study, the main sources of wastewater discharging into the Gargar River were identified. Using river and point source flow rates and water quality parameters measured along the river, the river water quality was simulated using a commonly used, one-dimensional ...

Abstract Repas Lama Dam in Bentong Pahang has been experiencing pollution by Non-Point Sources (NPS) that can be found upstream of the Sungai Repas, being so evident discoloration water is observable at location. The area littered with mines active and inactive, many inactive improperly shut down. When there are mining activities, some major waste or tailings produced as by-products process whi...

This paper describes the usage of linked models for assessment of water quality in a river basin. River water quality model QUAL2K and the Wennerblom (Älvsborg) diffused pollution model were simultaneously applied for water quality and land-based pollution estimations. A software tool was developed to control the data flow between these models and databases. This tool provides automatic formati...
