Hydrodynamics & water quality: Modeling rivers, lakes & estuaries
Modeling Rivers, Lakes, and Estuaries

Hydrodynamics and Water Quality presents an integrated approach to hydrodynamics, sediment process, toxic fate, and transport. It illustrates principles, basic processes, mathematical descriptions, and practical applications associated with surface waters. Additionally, it provides scientifically sound approaches to identify surface water problems and to simulate these waterbodies numerically.
