Cyclic variations of quality characteristics in river water in an industrial region

River water in industrial regions is a dynamic medium defined by random variables that cannot be described by linear equations. However, some water quality characteristics, e.g., pollutant concentrations, which look chaotically distributed are largely governed by deterministic laws resulting in peri...

Cyclic variations of quality characteristics in river water in an industrial region
description River water in industrial regions is a dynamic medium defined by random variables that cannot be described by linear equations.
