Water quality models try to simulate changes in the pollutants concentration as they move through the environment. A pollutant entering the environment may increase or decrease its concentration due to a large variety of mechanisms. The fate of pollutants is the resultant of interactions between mass transfer and kinetic processes. All these changes are the subject of water quality modelling. Modelling is a continuous process of developing models in times parallel with the increase of the available information and knowledge about the simulation system, which more and more adequate to describe the real process. The focus here is the user to receive the basic knowledge about water quality modelling by means of introducing the purpose, type, structure and application of the water quality models.
