Description
This reference gets you up to speed on mathematical modeling for environmental and water resources management. With a practical, application-oriented approach, it discusses hydrodynamics, sediment processes, toxic fate and transport, and water quality and eutrophication in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters. A companion CD-ROM includes a modeling package and electronic files of numerical models, case studies, and model results. This is a core reference for water quality professionals and an excellent text for graduate students.
Reviews / Votes
"On the whole, the topics are well organized, the prose is easy to read and understand, the style is lucid, and there is a wealth of information reflecting the knowledge and experience of the author. The book will also be useful to practicing water and environmental engineers.." (Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, August 2009)" As a water quality professional, I found the book to be helpful and a very informative reference. It provides much needed information for solving practical environmental water resources problems through modeling. It would also be a great addition to any university library." (Journal of the American Water Resources Association, July 2009) "This hands-on reference illustrates the principles, basic processes, mathematical descriptions, and practical applications of modeling surface waters."
