Technical Guidance Manual for Performing Waste Load Allocations. Book 3: Estuaries. Part 3. Use of Mixing Zone Models in Estuarine Waste Load Allocations.

摘要

The document is the third of a series of manuals providing information and guidance for the preparation of waste load allocations. This document provides technical information and guidance for the preparation of waste load allocations in estuaries. The document is divided into four parts. This part describes the initial mixing of wastewater in estuarine and coastal environments and mixing zone requirements. The important physical processes that govern the hydrodynamic mixing of aqueous discharges are detailed, followed by application of available models to four case study situations.
