Simulation of pollutant movement in water bodies / Nor Azilawati Abu Talaha

Simulation of pollutant movement is a part of the modelling that simulates the river flow past or through the municipality and effluent from industries to downstream of the river. The specific computer model MIKE 21 is used to simulate pollutant movement in the study area which is polluted by the industrial wastewater. The loading models provide flowrate (pollutographs) and this model simulates the movement of materials through the river. This study relates to the determination of the distribution of the pollution within the medium and along the boundary of the medium. The simulation of pollution movement were used to analyse several alternatives for remediation or relocation of the model in the vicinity of the industrial area. It is also used to predict the impact of the pollutant on the surrounding areas and to identify the areas worst affected.
