Description and Table of Contents

Description

The main objective of this study is to help the reader make quantitative predictions of the rates of mixing tracers in rivers. Such predictions are needed in a variety of situations including the preliminary design of outfalls, the impact assessment of discharges, water resource planning, and research on biological processes in rivers. A secondary objective is to describe the theoretical basis for commonly-used mixing models so that the reader understands the mixing equations being used and chooses the correct mixing model for any given problems.
