Urban surface water quality enhancement; a case study on a floating treatment system

Ongoing urbanisation and the subsequent extensive use of the urban water system can lead to degradation of its surface water quality. In the Netherlands, urban water bodies often suffer from the manifestations of eutrophication due to (historically) high nutrient loadings. This research focused on the enhancement of surface water quality of semi...

Analysis of pollutant transport in the Upper Rhine: Influenced by the River Aare and powerstations

In the one-dimensional 'Rhine Alarm Model' differences between the actual travel time of a pollutant-cloud (Tpol), originating from an instantaneous release of an accidental spill, and the travel time, based on the flow velocity (Tflow) is represented by a lag coefficient ß. The travel time of the pollutant Tpol is related to the centroid of the...
