Water Quality Modelling, Monitoring, and Management
Water quality modelling is a complex process of capturing the dynamic interactions between river, lake, and groundwater hydrology, chemistry and ecology, and trying to quantify these relationships to better achieve an understanding of the underlying science. Such understanding can then be used to develop catchment management strategies and inform policies to control pollution and restore damaged aquatic environments. Monitoring is a key part of the management process and provides fundamental data for aquatic science. The data also provide a means to detect trends in water quality and to evaluate the efficacy of restoration strategies. In this chapter we review water quality modelling approaches and place them in the context of improved water quality management and monitoring. We also present four case studies illustrating modelling applications and issues from Eastern Europe, Bangladesh, Australia and the UK. These cover different types of pollution, including legacy acid mine drainage, extreme pollution in ‘blackwater’ rivers (i.e. zero dissolved oxygen), toxic phytoplankton blooms, and diffuse pollution from emergent organic chemicals such as metaldehyde.
