APPLICATION OF THE MODELING APPROACH TO ASSESS THE RECEIVING WATER IMPACT
Abstract
Intensive development of industry and urbanization have led to the increase of the waste water amount that pollute water flows. On the contrary, the need for water of satisfying quality continuously grows. The paper industry is one of those branches that are characterized by very high water demand and big amount of polluted waste water. In the meantime ensuring adequate quantity and quality of water is one of the most important goal of water resources management in paper industry. Water demand can be covered from external sources (raw water from environment) or through the recirculation of technological water. Mostly this external sources are limited by the existing condition of the river system. In this paper, simulation model of U.S. EPA QUAL2K for the Bia?ka river have been applied. An investigation was carried out to assess the risk posed by significant level of water supply abstraction by the local paper factory. Model was used to test different scenario for water abstraction so that the importance of them could be judged. The assessment demonstrated that the water supply abstraction could have a significant impact for studied river only during low flow condition. As an overall result it can be shown that QUAL2K could be a useful tool for assessment of water resources.
