Simulation of water quality and plankton dynamics in the Danshuei River estuary, Taiwan.
An ecosystem model was developed to simulate the water quality and plankton dynamics in the Danshuei River estuary, Taiwan. The model simulates the hydrodynamics with a laterally integrated 2-dimensional intratidal numerical model, which supplies the physical transport processes for simulation of water quality and plankton state variables. The application of the model to the Danshuei River estuary indicates that the point source loadings are mainly responsible for the degraded water quality and very high nutrient concentrations in the estuary. The impacts of wastewater discharges are tightly controlled by the transport processes. Frequent occurrence of high river flow and flood events rapidly cleanses the estuary by flushing out both pollutants and plankton populations. The plankton is allowedHot Topics:

What was supposed to be a walkout to protest deadly violence in schools turned into a building lockout Wednesday in the Florence-Penrose and Cañon City school districts.

Florence Police Chief Mike DeLaurentis said detectives and investigators with the district attorney's office are questioning a person of interest in connection with a threatening social media post, created ahead of protests planned for Wednesday.

The post, which depicted part of a weapon, was reported to Florence police, DeLaurentis said, and an investigation began in
