Engineers use mathematical models and field measurements to calculate sediment transport, pollutant, and nutrient concentrations in water systems. These models often take into account factors such as flow rate, water depth, and the physical and chemical properties of the sediment, pollutants, and nutrients. Engineers may also use computer simulations and laboratory experiments to further understand and predict the behavior of these substances in the environment. Additionally, engineers may collect and analyze data from monitoring stations to assess the current conditions and identify areas for improvement.
