Analytical solution of contaminant transport in streams

The behavior of contaminant transport in stream is greatly influenced by surface and groundwater interaction. The improvement of the prediction of downstream water quality can be implemented if the more attention gives to this problem and model these processes accurately. .In this study, an analytic...
