Abstract

Water quality modelling as an environmental issue M Radwan, P. Willems, A El-Sadek & J. Berlamont Hydraulics Laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, K. U.Leuven, Belgium Abstract With the increase in water consumption to satisfy the different demands, the quantities of waste waters to be disposed are increasing rapidly. The continued release of the waste waters has had serious impact on the water quality of the river. In this paper major types of pollutants and their sources are presented. All water quality investigations have to start with measurements, but afterwards models become important tools for abstracting more information from these measurements. At present with increasing environmental controls, important river water quality projects can not any more be conducted without proper modelling of quality. In this research, the water quality (WQ) module in MIKE 11 is applied to one catchment in Belgium. Concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO)
