A mathematical model of water pollution measurement in a stream using a collocation method with a higher order Legendre polynomial

Abstract

In environmental research, challenges with water contamination assessment are generally prevalent. Through data collection, pollution levels in a system may be determined. This is quite challenging and involved; the measurements of what was measured vary from one point to another in every location. The governing equations for a uniform flow pollution dispersion model are used in water quality modeling. The advection-diffusion-reaction equation used in water quality model-ing for a uniform flow stream is a stable pollution dispersion model. This study presents a one-dimensional mathematical model for measuring stream water quality by collocation higher order Legendre polynomial functions. A water pol-lutant concentration can be approximated using the collocation method. A related water quality quantification method may also be employed with the suggested mathematical simulation to approximate the solution.
