Watershed/nearshore water quality management system

我们的水道受到主要来自市政和工业废水的污染物和细菌污染的影响，这些污染物往往高到足以关闭公共游泳区。这些污染源共同影响和限制了我们的水消耗、娱乐用途和自然栖息地的状况。彻底分析地表沃茨中的污染物迁移至关重要，因为75%的饮用水来自地表水供应，即，本提案的目标是开发流域/近岸水质管理系统，以实现可接受的近岸水质和安全饮用水（取水口设计指南和标准化流程）：（a）通过使用基于GIS的分布式水文模型和雷达降水数据，估算极端和气候变化情景下湖泊流域出口处的污染图（B）验证三维水动力/（c）评估在安大略尼亚加拉和金斯顿之间的沿海地区重新安置和拦截污染源排放方面与基础设施有关的减排备选办法的效益。(d)评估核电厂意外溢漏对饮用水取水口的影响，以及（e）利用预测的气象模式作为模式的输入，预测点源和非点源污染物羽流的移动。（a）利用详细的流域数据准确估算近岸区域的点源和非点源污染负荷;（B）三维污染物传输模型的校准和验证，结合预测的天气数据，将提供可靠的预测，从核电厂，暴雨下水道和污水厂的旁路意外泄漏的运动。这将为采取行动提供预先警告，以保护公众的娱乐活动和饮用水供应。

Our waterways are affected by contaminants entering primarily from municipal and industrial effluents and bacterial contamination, often high enough to close public swimming areas. Together these contaminatt sources affect and limit our water consumption, recreational use and condition of natural habitats.Thorough analysis of pollutant transport in surface waters is critical as 75% of drinking water is acquired from surface water supplies, i.e., lakes, creeks, rivers, reservoirs etc. The objective of this proposal is the development of a Watershed/Nearshore Water Quality Management System in order to achieve acceptable nearshore water quality and safe drinking water (water intake design guidelines and standardization processes) by:(a) estimating the pollutographs at the basin outlets to the lake under extreme and climate change scenarios by using GIS-based distributed hydrological model with radar precipitation data(b) verifying the 3D hydrodynamic/pollutant transport lake model with field and remote sensing data(c) assessing the benefits of abatement options related to infrastructure in terms of relocation and interception of source discharges in the neashore areas between Niagara and Kingston in Lake Ontario.(d) assessing the impact of accidental spills from nuclear power plants to water drinking intakes and(e) achieving forecasted pollutant plume movement from point and non-point pollutant sources by using the forecasted meteorological patterns as input to the model.The novelty of this proposal resides with: (a)the accurate estimation of point and non-point pollutant source loading to near-shore area by using detailed watershed data and (b) the calibration and verification of a 3D pollutant transport model that in combination with forecasted weather data will provide reliable forecasts for the movement of accidental spills from nuclear power plants, storm sewers and by-passes from wastewater plants. This will provide advanced warning for action to be taken in order to protect the public's recreational activities and drinking water supply.
