For more than 60 years, since the early work by Harold Streeter and Earle Phelps on the dissolved oxygen of the Ohio River, decision makers, engineers, and scientists have continued to seek more rigorous means for answering the effectiveness of environmental control actions.
In accordance with the latest standards for water quality, this text presents the fundamental principles of modeling as well as their practical applications in water quality control. All principal natural systems, streams, estuaries, lakes, etc. are treated in a unified manner. Both authors, and their department, are internationally recognized for pioneering work in water quality analysis.
