Abstract
An extensive study utilized dye releases in a model of New York Harbor to trace the paths followed by pollutants discharged at particular points. The influences of installed jetties and dikes on pollution paths and the relationship between release concentrations at the source of pollution developed by individual tests and those shown by simultaneous release from multiple sources were investigated.
Pollution sources were wastewater treatment plants and storm-water overflows. This type of study is useful in predicting effects on pollution paths of changes in harbor configuration and waste discharge before such changes actually are made in the prototype.
