Waterquality modeling involves the prediction of water pollution using mathematical model mathematical simulation techniques. A typical waterquality model consists of a collection of formulations representing physical mechanisms that determine position and momentum of pollutants in a water body. Models are available for individual components of the hydrological system such as surface runoff there also exist basinwide models addressing hydrologic transport model hydrologic transport and for ocean and estuarine applications. Often finite difference methods are used to analyse these phenomena, and, almost always, large complex computer model s are required.
