The Bhima
River is a major river in South India. Along the river stretch there are about
7000 industries comprising large, medium and small-scale units according to
CPCB. Most of the industries are located in the Maharashtra Industrial
Development Corporation (MIDC). The river is 80 percentage polluted by
industries pollution and 20 percentage by domestic wastewater. Based on
sampling on various locations, it was found that the river stretches of Bhima
River and its tributaries are polluted. River water qual-its models are used
extensively in research as well as in the design and assessment of water
quality management measures. The application of mathematical models for that
purpose dates back to the initial studies of oxygen depletion due to organic
waste pollution. Since then, models have been constantly refined and updated to
meet new and emerging problems of water pollution. In order to handle the
complex interactions caused by the increased influence of human activities in
rivers. It is today mandatory to river water quality models with model describing
emissions from the drainage and sewerage system. Special attention is given
here to the modeling of convergence processes, but also the methods and tools
to work with the models i.e., parameter estimation, and simulation software
QUAL2E are discussed. QUAL2E is a framework for the simulation of water quality
in streams and rivers.
