| Abstract | A numerical model of the one-dimensional transport and fate of organic contaminants in the Athabasca River has been developed for the Northern River Basins Study (NRBS) using the WASP4 modelling system (Golder Associates Ltd. 1995). The model simulates contaminant concentrations in the water column and bed sediments and includes a dynamic exchange between the water and bed sediment compartments. This report documents the incorporation of the sediment transport algorithms into WASP4 and the re-simulation of contaminant transport in the Athabasca River using the enhanced WASP4 model. |
