Abstract
The majority of water quality models are based on analytical, numerical or simulation solutions to diffusion-advection type equations. Other techniques have been suggested involving stochastic processes [24], or hydrodynamic sources and sinks [25], or co-relation techniques [26], but these methods are not discussed here because of their limited range of applicability. Attention is confined to solutions of diffusion-advection equations (see Chapter 3) or simulation techniques involving similar ideas, since such methods are based on the fundamental principle of mass-conservation and are applicable to a wide variety of situations.
