Funded Activity Summary

Freshing, mixing and purging of riverine saline ponds by freshwater overflow. Develop a model to accurately predict the full details of flow in saline river ponds subjected to a freshwater overflow. Such ponds are ubiquitous in Australia's inland rivers, have low oxygen and high nutrient and salinity levels and are associated with poor water quality, both in the pond and downstream during flow events. The model will allow precise determination of the river flow rates required to fully purge ponds and the downstream effect of the low quality pond water on the riverine environment and will also assist in the devlopment of rule of thumb scaling formula that will be incorporated into a one-dimensional flow prediction model being developed by the industrial partner.
