Improvement of water quality in rivers by aeration at hydraulic structures
Abstract
The potential contribution of hydraulic structures through air entrainment to the improvement of water quality in rivers has long been recognised, but methods for predicting the oxygen uptake have evolved only rather recently. Even though some results of measurements from the field or laboratory were available, predictive equations that would account for at least the most important parameters and some scale effects were difficult to develop.
