One dimensional water quality model for Göksu and Küçüksu streams

Abstract

In thlS study, a numerlcal~model has been developed topredlct current Dlssolved Oxygen and Blochemlcal OxygenDemand levels ln Goksu and Kucuksu streams. In addltion, themodel can be used for further proJectlons.The model is a one-dimenslonal steady-state model.Under certaln assumptions dlfferentlid equatlons whichrepresent DO and BOD levels were sOlved analytlcally andapplied to reaches WhlCh have steady-state conditions. Ingeneral the model predictlons of dissolved oxygen were foundto be ln good agreement wlth measured values for bothstreams.
