Abstract
This book brings together a number of critical discussions on the role of uncertainty in the development and use of mathematical models for water quality management. It covers the application of recursive estimation, time-series analysis, maximum likelihood estimation, and the Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), to the problem of model identification. It also treats the analysis of prediction-error propagation, real-time forecasting, and the use of Monte Carlo simulation in the generation of speculative hypotheses about system behaviour.
