Abstract
Seen from the process perspective, compartment models are the simplest type of environmental models. This type of model is based on quite rigorous conditions. There is probably no environmental system at all, where the conditions are fulfilled exactly. Nevertheless, as a first guess and in order to give a rough idea about the interactions between compartments, the simplicity justifies the application.
