INTRODUCTION - Integrating GIS, Remote Sensing, and Mathematical Modelling for Surface Water Quality Management - page 12

the calibration and validation procedures of water quality and eutrophication mathematical models. It
shows the importance of integrating the different analysis tools for getting better understanding and
developing better and more reliable management tools.
Chapter 9 links the developed WQMIS to the decision process by developing decision support
information from the modelling results. Based on the system outputs, the chapter focuses on the
methodology for developing planning management scenarios for abating the increased pollution loads
entering the downstream end lakes of physically complex watersheds. The chapter highlights the
prediction scenarios for eutrophication management of a shallow lake system by reduction of nutrients
loads entering the lake system.
Chapter 10 highlights the general and final conclusions of the research study; it shows the innovative
contributions to surface water quality management, though integration of different tools and
techniques involving mathematical modelling, GIS and remote sensing. The chapter ends by a set of
recommendations for future research work.
