Progress in Estuarine Water Quality Modelling

  • Conference paper
Estuarine Water Quality Management

Part of the book series: Coastal and Estuarine Studies ((COASTAL,volume 36))

Abstract

Starting from the needs of estuarine water quality management, the paper opens with an introduction into the developments in estuarine modelling, showing the trend of building frameworks of models, in which the various interdisciplinary building blocks are incorporated. Next a review is given of the progress in estuarine water quality modelling from a physical point of view. The paper concludes with a discussion on the main points which are to be expected to need much attention in the development of estuarine models in the coming years.
