Abstract

A mathematical model describing the mass flow, including denitrification, of nitrate in the main river Thames has been developed. A three year period, including severe drought and flooding, was used to test the model. Good agreement was found between the nitrate concentrations observed at several sites on the river Thames and those calculated by the model. The model be used to establish the sensitivity of nitrate levels in the Thames above intakes to changes in tributary inputs which could be affected by various management strategies.
