Source Term Estimation of Pollution from an Instantaneous Point Source
The goal is to develop an inverse model capable of simultaneously estimating the parameters appearing in an air pollution model for an instantaneous point source, by using measured gas concentration data. The approach taken was to develop the inverse model as a non-linear least squares estimation problem in which the source term is estimated using measurements of pollution concentration on the ...
متن کاملInterpolating precipitation and its relation to runoff and non-point source pollution.
When rainfall spatially varies, complete rainfall data for each region with different rainfall characteristics are very important. Numerous interpolation methods have been developed for estimating unknown spatial characteristics. However, no interpolation method is suitable for all circumstances. In this study, several methods, including the arithmetic average method, the Thiessen Polygons meth...
متن کاملStrategic management of non-point source pollution from sewage sludge.
In the UK, the recycling of sewage sludge to land is expected to double by 2006 but the security of this route is threatened by environmental concerns and health scares. Strategic investment is needed to ensure sustainable and secure sludge recycling outlets. At present, the security of this landbank for sludge recycling is determined by legislation relating to nutrient rather than potentially ...
متن کاملTesting two simple pesticide runoff models in Northern Australian agriculture
The Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting program (P2R) (Department of Premier and Cabinet, 2009) is investigating ways to improve agricultural management practices and the quality of water entering the Great Barrier Reef. One of the major risks to GBR water quality is pesticide runoff from agricultural industries. Direct measurement of pesticide fate and behavior is bo...
متن کاملContracting for Non - Point - Source Pollution Abatement
This paper presents an incentive scheme to control agricultural non-point-source pollution. The analysis is based on a nested agent framework with three parties; farmers, a country’s government, and the governments of all countries that affect each other’s environmental quality. Unlike previous analysis of incentive schemes to control agricultural pollution, we suggest non-individual contracts ...
