Abstract
The prediction of the propagation of a plume of polluted water along the river is considered to be an essential tool in a case of accidental pollution. Not only the predicted time of arrival of the polluted water should be the result of the calculation, but also its concentration. Prediction of the arrival time enables action to be taken at the right moment, being also used for estimating the impact of the pollution. For the Danube River and its tributaries a model - called DBAM - is needed like the Rhine Alarm model to estimate the propagation of a spill.
