Abstract

This paper concerns the effects of topographic changes upon the dispersion of contaminants in rivers. Exact analytical results are derived for the time-of-arrival, temporal variance and skewness far downstream of a sudden contaminant release. It is demonstrated that there can exist optimal discharge sites, such that at all positions far downstream the maximum concentrations are minimized.
