Impact Of Flow Control Structures On River's [Sic] Self Assimilative Capacity, Dahlia Mohamed Eid

Archived Theses and Dissertations

The assessment of environmental impacts associated with existing and new water-level and flow control structures is becoming increasingly important these days. This study investigates the effect of water level control structures on the self-assimilative capacity of a river as well as other environmental impacts like the effect on fish habitat. A computer assisted model is developed to predict the change in the waste loading capacity of the river as well as its water quality, taking the dissolved oxygen as the main criteria, as a result of the change in its hydrologic and hydraulic regime. The model comprises four modules: (I) …
