ABSTRACT
Our water resources are heavily polluted because of increasing population and industrial activity. Water quality parameters need to be controlled by water quality administrations, especially at big municipalities and industrial areas. The mathematical simulation models QUAL2E and QUAL2EU, developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, are used for this purpose quite commonly. In this study, the characteristics of this model are described and its application to the Nilüfer River is presented.
