Books in the Developments in Water Science series

Presents readers with an overview of lake management problems and the tools that can be applied to solve probelms. Lake management tools are presented in detail, including environmental technological methods, ecotechnological methods and the application of models to assess the best management strategy.

Hydrodynamic and pollutant transport models are useful tools for evaluating remediation options for polluted water bodies. This book examines the numerical approaches used in hydrodynamic and pollutant transport modeling. It also provides the theory and physical basis of transport and mixing in lakes and coastal waters.

Divided into four parts, this book provides an overview of the status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, and advantages and disadvantages of systems techniques.
