Summary

This book presents a review of the state of water quality prediction models currently available to the practitioner. It provides a broad based understanding of the water quality prediction process and evaluates the merits and cost effectiveness in using water quality models under field conditions. This book builds on and revises the chapter on water quality modeling from the World Bank's 'Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook 1998'.
