Modelling contaminant dynamics in a well-mixed/stratified estuary

建议的混合/分层河口模型是独特的，可预测雨水排放对水质的影响，为各种污染物来源的负荷提供指引，评估海洋建筑活动的影响，建立自然和人为再悬浮的影响，并确定污染物分布的时空变化。所产生的知识将有助于在本地和海外就保护宝贵的生物资源、河口系统在替代管理和补救战略下的未来环境状况、受污染沉积物的管理、最佳管理做法的新立法以及支持这种河口类型的长期政策制定作出决定。

The proposed mixed/stratified estuarine model is unique and will predict effects of stormwater discharge on water quality, provide guidelines for loading from various contaminant sources, assess impact of marine construction activities, establish effects of natural and anthropogenic resuspension and determine spatial/temporal changes in contaminant distributions. Knowledge generated will assist making decisions locally and overseas regarding the protection of valuable living resources, the future environmental status of estuarine systems under alternative management and remedial strategies, management contaminated sediments, new legislation for best management practise, and support for long-term policy development for this estuary type.
