Introduction

Over the past decades there has been an increasing focus on surface water quality and pollution issues in rivers and catchments. This has been driven by the need to supply people, livestock and agriculture with uncontaminated water, and to restore the ecology and biodiversity of damaged streams, lakes and rivers. Mathematical modelling of flow and water quality has developed as a tool to assist with this process by aiding management decisions for long term policy, STWs and water systems design and for operational control of pollution incidents. Over the past 20 years Paul Whitehead and a team of colleagues have developed an integrated approach to modelling flow and water quality and ecology. This has been based on the Integrated Catchment model (INCA), which is a dynamic and process-based model that has been applied to over 60 catchments worldwide, including large catchments such as the Ganges, Mekong, Volta, Brahmaputra, Girond and UK catchments such as the Thames, Wye, Ouse, Trent, Tamar etc.

Online Lecture Course

The lecture course is aimed at scientists, students, academics and water professionals working in environmental consultancy, research, environmental and regulatory agencies, water companies. It is designed especially for those people looking to develop their water quality modelling knowledge and skills. The course is suitable for all levels and does not necessarily require previous experience of modelling, with contents.
