How do I account for an ambient background concentration of a pollutant in the receiving water?
A. As a mixing zone model, CORMIX assumes that sufficient ambient water is available to dilute the effluent to levels which approach the background concentration. Thus it is assumed that the volume flux (m3/s) of the discharge Q0 is much less than the volume flux of the ambient Qa ( i.e. Q0 << Qa). If the above volume and mass flux assumptions hold true, then advice for simulating cases with ambient background concentrations as excess concentrations appears in the CORMIX User Manual as an example on page 61 (New User Manual - 2007 v5.4).
