Description | |
Summary | The assessment of the state of pollution of the Bay of Thermaikos by sewage and rivers is the principal objective of the programme. There is a general trend in water pollution to increase from south to north and from the open sea to river estuaries. This reflects the pollutant loads from human population in the northern region and from river flow. Data have been used to validate mathematical models of the transport and fate of pollutants in the bay. These models have been useful in analysing various combinations between the choice of the disposal site and the degree of sewage treatment. |
