Dye tracer studies - Methods and use in outfall mixing zone studies

摘要

Fluorescent tracers are very useful for various assessments of wastewater discharges to surface waters (rivers, estuaries and oceans), including the following: 1.Outfall inspections 2.Assess eddies in ambient flow 3.Quantify reflux 4.Calibrate hydrodynamic model 5.Calculate flushing time 6. Measure dispersion coefficients 7. Transport to critical areas 8. Discharge measurement 9. Quantify dilution factors.
