Kinematic wave solutions for pollutant transport by runoff over an impervious plane, with instantaneous or finiteperiod mixing Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Kinematic wave solutions are derived for transport of a conservative non-point-source pollutant during a rainfall-runoff event over an impervious plane. Rainfall is assumed to be steady, uniform and finite in duration. Prior to the start of rainfall, the pollutant is distributed uniformly over the plane. When rainfall occurs, the pollutant is washed off in a particular manner and the mixing of pollutant in the runoff water occurs either instantaneously or in a finite period of time under the assumption that the pollutant is soluble and is mixed completely in the runoff water.
