This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration distribution, transport and deposition, and the most important physical-chemical-bio logical process that affects suspended matter: flocculation. In Chap ter 1 the development of suspended matter observation and study throughout history is given, with the coming of a more modern approach during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, and the development of the present science of suspended matter after 1945. The sources of suspended matter in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and the sea are discussed in Chapter 2, which includes the supply of detrital particles as well as the formation of new particles in the water (organic matter, carbonate, opal). The concentration distribution of suspended matter in rivers, lakes, estuaries, tidal is discussed in Chapter 3, to which is areas, lagoons, and in the sea added a discussion on the sampling of suspended matter and on methods to determine its concentration. Particle composition is treated in Chapter 4, to which is added a section (4. 6) on the compositional analysis of suspended particles. Also included is a discussion on particle surface characteristics and the adsorption of elements and compounds onto particles.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediment transport in flow has a practical impact on environmental and economic aspects of human society, for instance, water quality, hydraulic structures and land resources. A systematic understanding of the sediment transport processes is of critical significance to establish proper water resources and sediment management plans. Both random properties of flows and varying properties of sediment particles can induce stochastic nature of sediment particle movement in the flows. Thus, stochastic approaches or analyses are beneficial to analyzing the variability associated with the movement of sediment particles. In this context, the focus of this study is to model various features of sediment transport in open channel flow with stochastic approaches.^The scope of the study includes the following main issues: the movement of sediment particles in turbulent open channel flows in the occurrences of extreme flows, the deposition and resuspension processes of sediment particles, sediment concentrations and its uncertainty, and various modeling framework of stochastic particle tracking models. Turbulence in a flow is a primary source of stochastic property of particle movement in the flow. Furthermore, extreme flows that might occur occasionally in a random manner reinforce the randomness of the movement of sediment particles in the flow. The volatile flow velocity of extreme flows will not only affect the mean trend of particle movement but also intensify the uncertainty of particle movement. Specifically, since extreme flow events randomly occur per se, the random manner of the occurrences generates the stochastic property that affects the movement of sediment particles.^Thus, it is effective to employ stochastic approaches for describing sediment transport processes associated with uncertainty. Herein, both a & lsquo;stochastic diffusion process & rsquo; and a & lsquo;stochastic jump diffusion process & rsquo; are introduced to describe stochastic particle movement in open channel flows. The & lsquo;stochastic jump diffusion process & rsquo; represents the particle movement in response to extreme flow events that randomly occur in a turbulent open channel flow, whereas the & lsquo;stochastic diffusion process & rsquo; characterizes the particle movement in a turbulent open channel flow. As a result, both the stochastic diffusion particle tracking model (SD-PTM) and the stochastic jump diffusion particle tracking model (SJD-PTM) can present particle trajectories, and roughly estimated instantaneous velocities.^The ensemble statistics of the particle trajectories and velocities radically contain information on the stochastic characteristics of sediment particle movement. The SD-PTM and SJD-PTM to estimate particle trajectory and velocity is verified with data of Sumer and Oguz (1978), Muste and Patel (1997), Cuthberson and Ervine (2007) and Muste et al. (2009). The sediment concentration and sediment flux are highly-sought, practical variables in that the existence and amount of suspended sediments in surface waters have a direct influence on water quality and its suitability for drinking and industrial purposes. Especially, the estimation of sediment concentrations demonstrates the transporting process of suspended sediment through its spatial and temporal distributions. The sediment concentrations play a significant role as a pragmatic indicator in the decision making process.^Thus, the previous-stated particle-based stochastic approach for sediment transport is enhanced to predict the suspended sediment concentration, and to quantify the uncertainty of the sediment concentrations. The method also allows for particle entrainment into flows and particle settlement on the bed as main processes in open channel flows. Through multiple realizations of the particle movement with stochastic properties, the SD-PTM shows not only sediment concentrations at a specific location and time but also uncertainty for the estimated sediment concentrations. The proposed method, in this context, is a more straightforward method to evaluate uncertainty due to stochastic properties in the particle movement and a unique way to present the uncertainty of sediment concentrations. The proposed stochastic particle tracking model for sediment concentrations is verified with data of Coleman (1986).^The final goal of this study is to pursue further investigation into two different types of stochastic particle tracking approaches describing sediment particle movement associated with randomness. The different types of approaches are classified into the & lsquo;univariate & rsquo; and the & lsquo;multivariate & rsquo; stochastic particle tracking models according to the selection of key stochastic variables that describe the randomness of natural phenomena. In the & lsquo;univariate & rsquo; stochastic particle tracking model, one state vector (e.g., particle position) is regarded as a targeted variable. The above proposed models can be thought of as the & lsquo;univariate & rsquo; stochastic particle tracking model. In the & lsquo;multivariate & rsquo; stochastic particle tracking model, the sediment particle velocity and position are joint Markovian state variables, since the flow velocity evolves in time according to a generalized stochastic differential equation.^Model comparisons are performed and both models are verified with data of Sumer and Oguz (1978).

Book excerpt: This book represents a compilation of papers presented at a symposium on the subject "Suspended Solids in Hater." held in Santa Barbara. California. U.S.A .• on March 20. 2] and 22, 1973. The symposium was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and was designed to bring together a group that represented the domi nant cross section of international research in this area. The idea for the conference originated as ONR recognized a potentially interesting area that, to date. had not had the benefit of a co ordinating symposium and/or a book published on the specific sub ject. In addition to the formal presentation of papers - informal open discussions followed - the symposium included two stimulating workshops. An abundance of impromptu exchange filled unscheduled periods. Many of the contributors have incorporated in their pa pers the ideas and points raised in discussions following formal presentation and at other times. The reader thus actually profits from the various discussions throughout the meeting. The two half-day workshops were directed toward the subjects of sampling and concentrating suspended materials and in situ in strumentation. I have summarized the discussions from the two workshops for the reader and have correlated the material wherever possible in an introductory chapter. I have also included intro ductory material to acquaint the newcomer with the general field.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, the awareness of the increasing pollution of rivers, estuaries and the sea with its associated impact on these ecosystems, its effect on organisms, food-chains, water supply and finally on man himself is growing. Estuaries form a link between the limnetic and marine environments, characterized by a variety of complex processes. Most of these phenomena are not yet sufficiently understood, making efficient water quality management a difficult task. The volume has two main objectives: to present the latest information on current estuarine research and to elaborate fundamentals and criteria for planners and decision-makers in water quality management.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis began its study of water quality modeling and management in 1977, it has been interested in the relations between uncertainty and the problems of model calibration and prediction. The work has focused on the theme of modeling poorly defined environmental systems, a principal topic of the effort devoted to environmental quality control and management. Accounting for the effects of uncertainty was also of central concern to our two case studies of lake eutrophication management, one dealing with Lake Balaton in Hungary and the other with several Austrian lake systems. Thus, in November 1979 we held a meeting at Laxenburg to discuss recent method ological developments in addressing problems associated with uncertainty and forecasting of water quality. This book is based on the proceedings of that meeting. The last few years have seen an increase in awareness of the issue of uncertainty in water quality and ecological modeling. This book is relevant not only to contemporary issues but also to those of the future. A lack of field data will not always be the dominant problem for water quality modeling and management; more sophisticated measuring techniques and more comprehensive monitoring networks will come to be more widely applied. Rather, the important problems of the future are much more likely to emerge from the enhanced facility of data processing and to concern the meaningful interpretation, assimilation., and use of the information thus obtained.
