The exponential and uncontrolled growth of the world population can affect the population’s quality of life and lead to various environment and health problems, such as deforestation to make way for new housing and an increase in the water supply demand and in the amount of pollutants released in the water bodies. Several mathematical models have been developed to try to understand and solve problems of dispersion of pollutants in aquatic environments. This article aims to study, analyze and model the dispersion behavior of contaminants and pollutants in a lake using the Diffusion-Advection differential equations model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
