CEE 564 Surface Water Quality

This course will focus on the physical, chemical, biological, and hydrological characteristics of surface water system in junction to water quality modeling and management issues. Reaction kinetics and material balances will be investigated for use in modeling contaminant movement in the environment. Specific attention will be given to typical water quality problem domains in stream and river systems, lake and reservoir systems. Mixing in lakes and rivers, stratification, sediment transport, dissolved oxygen and pathogens, eutrophication, and the fate and transport of toxics in these systems will be discussed.
