Sažetak
Rivers are considered to be one of the most influential hydrological pathways for the waterborne transport and therefore estuaries are critical areas for a pollution hazard. To describe that hazard, the risk of exceeding the allowed concentration values of the pollution substance in such environment is often used. The analytical model calculates concentration statistics directly from the fundamental advective-diffusion equation for the case of continuous, steady conservative transport with the dominant stream flow mean velocity such is the case of low tide estuaries. This work investigates how different data can be used for validation of the developed analytical model for conservative transport in an estuary. The presented results indicate that field measurements of temperature and salinity could be useful data acquisition technique to validate and compare different analytical and/or numerical models for conservative transport in an estuary.
