Abstract

The impact of industrial activity on water quality is currentely a major concern at EOF. That is why mathematical and computational tools have been developed and validated to support decision makers in managing the environment. This paper presents recent developments in that field within the TELEMAC system. Specific attention has been devoted to deal with tidal flats and mass conservation problems. The application of the system to water quality modeling is illustrated with 2 examples : a maritime application concerning the impact of sewage on the Morbihan Gulf, and a fluvial application dealing with heavy metals in the River Seine. 1 Introduction 1.1 Importance of water quality at EOF Water is of the u
