Abstract

In the more populous watersheds of southern Quebec eutrophication of surface waters is a current problem, linked to excessive nutrient loadings from various municipal, industrial, and agricultural sources. A simple mathematical model has been developed to identify the optimal strategies for controlling nutrient loadings at various points in a river basin; for this optimization the key water quality parameter is phosphorus and the objective is to meet a fixed water quality criterion (0.06 mg total phosphorus per litre) at minimum cost.The potential utility of the model in a water management context has been demonstrated in a case study of the Yamaska River, Quebec, which drains regions of intense agricultural activity and is also subject to phosphorus pollution from numerous point sources of municipal and industrial origin.

Historical development of water pollution control cost functions
Article
  • May 1974
Information about costs of water pollution control is a principal ingredient in any policy, implementation, or enforcement decision. Although cost analysis is necessary for decision making, there is a lack of consensus about the type of information needed. This study reviews the derivation of typical cost functions that estimate the impact of a host of decision variables on total or component costs. Cost functions provide an overall perspective on policy implications by assessing and identifying the primary determinants of marginal costs over a feasible range of abatement strategies. Typical cost functions are compared by either mathematical expressions or graphical display. The evolution of cost derivations is traced through the literature. Their role in mathematical modeling and water resources management is also addressed.

The export of phosphorus from Dartmoor catchments: a model to explain variations of phosphorus concentrations in streamwater
Article
  • Aug 1979
  • J MAR BIOL ASSOC UK
Total phosphorus concentration in streams is strongly influenced by discharge. It increases during floods, more during ascending than descending stage, and more during summer than winter. The temporal changes in phosphorus concentration are explained by postulating accumulation of soluble phosphorus on the stream bed during periods of base flow and resuspension of particulate phosphorus during floods as well as postulating varying relative contributions of shallow and deep through flow to discharge as discharge changes. Some data are consistent with the hypothesis that a stream with a steep gradient, flowing over coarse growan, rapidly exchanges its water with that in a large subsurface reservoir. - from Author

An examination of the effects of nutrients on the water quality of shallow rivers
Article
  • Apr 1979
The maintenance of desirable dissolved oxygen regimes in rivers is a major concern. By lowering the nutrient supplies to a river, it is possible to promote a decrease in the plant growth rate. However, it is not known whether such measures will reduce the plant quantity to an acceptable level, especially in rivers that support a sizeable community of aquatic plants. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate a quantitive biomass control measure into the future consideration of water quality management in shallow rivers.
