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 andrnoceans), including the following:rn1.Outfall inspectionsrn2.Assess eddies in ambient flowrn3.Quantify refluxrn4.Calibrate hydrodynamic modelrn5.Calculate flushing timern6. Measure dispersion coefficientsrn7. Transport to critical areasrn8. Discharge measurementrn9. Quantify dilution factors.
