| dc.description.abstract | The quality of the water resources is facing threats because of continuous urbanization. This increase in human activities around the river areas changed the water quality, affecting the aquatic ecosystem. Eutrophication occurs when high levels of nutrients cause algal bloom. The water quality modeling can be a useful tool for assessing water bodies. The quality of the Ravi River has deteriorated during the past decades due to inappropriate sewage systems, so the aim of this research was to make a one-dimensional model to model the river water quality in terms of CBOD and DO concentrations. The results of the model were compared to the available literature on this river, as it was the only available data. The results showed the poor quality of the waters of the Ravi River in terms of high CBOD concentrations (200 mg/l), according to the International Water Quality Guidelines for Ecosystems (IWQGES) estimates, World Health Organization (WHO), and EPA Pakistan. These results were consistent with the previous studies, and thus HEC-RAS can be considered as an effective tool for modeling river water quality. | |
