Abstract:
Water pollution incidents occur frequently in the natural river systems. How to operate the reservoirs on rivers to minimize the pollution loss is surely of great significance to the emergency disposal. In this paper, we established several corresponding models for the sequential processes of source identification, prediction of contaminant concentration, and reservoir operation. Using numerical simulation method, we optimized the reservoir operation scheme. Eventually , we proposed a relatively complete technical system for emergency disposal and then applied it to the case of Hejiang pollution incident in 2013. Results showed that the simulated time series of contaminant concentration were similar to the measured series. The optimized scheme and its disposal result generally fit the actual situation. The results indicated that the proposed technical system of emergency disposal with reservoir operation is feasible and efficient for real sudden water pollution incidents in natural rivers.
