Abstract
In order to model the transport of heavy metals in rivers it is necessary to take account of many physical and chemical effects. Not only are these components carried along in the bulk of the flowing waters, a process known as advection, they are simultaneously mixed or spread by dispersion. In addition these and other chemical components will be injected at various points by sources along the river. Sinks occur where components leave the flowing waters (mobile phase) to attach themselves to, or be trapped by, the bed or banks of the river (stationary phase).
