Abstract:
Fast and accurate identification of unknown pollution sources is a crucial and challenging task in water resources management, in which the characteristics of unknown pollution sources should be determined from temporal or spatial distribution of concentration data at limited observation points. This field of research is currently in the stage of rapid development, but is not thorough yet. A review of the literature suggested that, one of the main gaps lies in the extension of methods to more realistic cases. This paper reviews some studies in the context of pollution source identification in surface and groundwater.
