Özet

Water quality research and development attempts have been the most valuable resources in the sense of model calibration and verification techniques. Due to the fact that current degree of pollution in rivers and importance of the sustainable water resources management, the interactive river monitoring becomes inevitable. Within the scope of river water quality monitoring, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are gaining widespread acceptance besides this fast and reliable water quality models and parameter estimation techniques are becoming available. However, integrating water quality models with GIS is limited in literature. This study presents an integrated platform on which ArcMap as a GIS and a water quality model in MATLAB are brought together in an interactive and user friendly manner. The software provides a considerable developments in future real time river monitoring and environmental pollution assessment.
