Water quality modelling of a mangrove system in Singapore

Modelling contaminants in the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve using Delft3D-WAQ results in useful data on residence times. Since measurements in the field are often not possible due to either safety hazards or ecological implications, the water quality model provides comprehensive data to analyse the behaviour of flow and contaminants and with that...
