Abstract

Sensitivity theory is applied in this paper to a class of generalized Streeter-Phelps models in order to predict the variations induced in BOD by the variations of some parameters characterizing the river system.
The paper shows how simple and elegant this technique is, and at the same time proves that many relatively complex phenomena can be explained by Streeter-Phelps models.
