Multilevel Withdrawal and Water Quality
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 1
Abstract
A one dimensional vertical model of water quality in reservoirs was developed, calibrated, and verified on the data available for the years 1978 and 1979 on Grangent reservoir in France. The model was subsequently used for the study of the influence of outlet location on both reservoir and outflow water quality. Three different outlet locations were considered on the Grangent reservoir, as well as various conditions in inflow water quality, reservoir size and reservoir operation. The model proved to be an efficient tool, both at the cognitive and the predictive level.
