Product Description
Mathematical modeling for environmental and water resources management
This hands-on reference illustrates the principles, basic processes, mathematical descriptions, and practical applications of modeling surface waters. It discusses hydrodynamics, sediment processes, toxic fate and transport, and water quality and eutrophication in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters. There has been great progress in mathematical modeling that simulates surface waters numerically. Modeling is becoming a powerful tool, and this reference gets readers up to speed quickly. Practically organized to facilitate quick reference, Hydrodynamics and Water Quality: Modeling Rivers, Lakes, and Estuaries:
*
Focuses on how to solve environmental problems in surface waters
*
Uses a practical, application-oriented approach: chapters begin with an introduction of basic concepts, proceed to discussions of physical, chemical, and/or biological processes and their mathematical representations, and conclude with real-life case studies
*
Has a companion CD that includes a modeling package and electronic files of numerical models, case studies, and model results, plus other materials to help readers use the models and tools
*
Features case studies that show how to use models appropriate to environmental and water resources management
*
Provides detailed information on how to use the three-dimensional Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) model supported by the EPA
This is a must-have reference for environmental scientists, engineers, geologists, chemists, and government regulators, as well as other water quality professionals. It is also an excellent text for graduate students in fields that encompass hydrodynamics and water quality. |

a very good reference book for hydrodynamic and water quality modeling application 
This is, in my point of view, one of the most useful reference book on a the water quality modeling subject. This book covers almost all the important aspects of developing and applying advanced hydrodynamic and water quality modeling technologies, with well balanced materials on both theory and practical issues. One of the features I like the best of this book is that its describption of water quality modeling as well as its theorectical analysis of governing equations are focused on the advanced and widely applied modeling framework-EFDC, thus through reading this book, workers in this field will not only get quick access of the basic knowledge about water quality modeling, but also the clear guidance on applying the very useful EFDC modeling system.
I will be highly recommending that this book be used in a senior level or graduate environmental engineering classes as a reference book. As a modeler who has worked in the water quality modeling profession for more than 10 years, I feel that with this book, along with several other excelent reference books such as the Chapra or Thomman's surface water quality modeling book (for fundamental concept), and Lung's water quality modeling for TMDL book (for practical guidance on the art of modeling, rather than model itself), one would essentially has everything he need to succeed in realworld,high-end water quality modeling.
