The interaction between land use and water quality in urban catchments is closely linked. As pollutants accumulate on land surfaces they are carried in runoff. This has led to increasing concerns that stormwater is responsible for adversely affecting the quality of freshwater resources. Total phosphorus and total suspended solids represent two forms of pollutants that are commonly found in non point source discharge...This study evaluated water quality modelling as an alternative monitoring technique. The study was aimed at determining the potential use of a simple water quality model to evaluate pollution in stormwater runoff. The study was conducted in the Kuils River catchment using the BASINS PLOAD model (PLOAD) to estimate pollutant loads of total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP) in runoff... 2015-04-02T13:56:11Z 2015-04-02T13:56:11Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12637 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
