ENVIRONMENTAL SIMULATION AS A TOOL IN A MARINE WASTE DISPOSAL STUDY OF JAMAICA BAY

Abstract

The study of technical solutions to the problem of managing fluid waste discharges in an estuary involves complicated relationships, such as those between the waste load, the location of discharges, the degree of treatment, the geometry of the estuary, the flow in the estuary, and the temperature. Models can be built to predict the probable consequences of each of the alternative solutions chosen. Using the predictions obtained from these models and whatever other information or insight is relevant, alternatives can be compared and conclusions drawn concerning themost desirable course of action. Such a model for well-mixed estuaries and coastal seas is presented and described.
