Abstract

The two-dimensional spatial distribution of dissolved oxygen in Jamaica Bay, New York, is formulated as a multipoint boundary value problem. The problem, which includes the interactions involving the carbonaceous biochemical demand and the total unoxidized nitrogen, was solved by a multiple shooting technique. The resulting model is used to determine optimal economic nitrification treatment levels at each of the polluting sources discharging into the bay in order that a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration level of 5 mg 1 −1 is achieved throughout the bay.
