Over the past 75 years, water quality models have evolved as critical tools in determining rational and cost-effective solutions to water quality problems. However, despite all the progress, the correct calculation of sediment fluxes remained the one "missing link" in the water quality modeling paradigm.
Di Toro's book is a tour de force that lays out an elegant framework to forge this link and set it on a firm scientific foundation. As such, it should be in the library of every individual and institution involved in water quality modeling and management. Because of the cutting edge nature of his scholarship, the book should also be of great interest to researchers and graduate students.
Sediment Flux Modeling provides a comprehensive treatment of the science and mathematics underlying the impact of sediment processes on the quality of natural waters. Di Toro lays out the mathematics and the science in a clear, step-by-step fashion as he progresses from the fundamentals of sediment transport and kinetic processes to advanced topics like metals exchange.
In a similar fashion to Robert Berner's excellent volume "Early Diagenesis", it should stand as the definitive reference for years to come.
