The Effect of Riparian Zones on Nitrate Removal by Denitrification at the River Basin Scale

By Linh Hoang Copyright 2014
198 Pages
by CRC Press

At the interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, the riparian zone plays an important role in nitrogen removal, despite the minor proportion of the land area that it covers. Very limited studies are carried out in modelling these effects at the river basin scales. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a well-known river basin scale model to simulate hydrological processes and... Read more

Biography

Linh Hoang (31 December, 1983, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) did her bachelor degree on Environmental Management in the Faculty of Environment, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam. After graduation, she worked as an assistant lecturer and also joined several projects on water quality monitoring and management and Environmental Impact Assessment before winning the Huygens scholarship from the Dutch government to pursue her Master in Hydroinformatics at UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, the Netherlands. She did her Master thesis using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) on river basin modelling integrating with water quality modelling. Then she continued to persue her PhD programme in the same Institute. In her PhD thesis, she continued to use the SWAT model, but focused on improving the model processes by adding the landscape routing process to hydrological modelling and a sub-module to simulate the denitrification in riparian zones for the SWAT model. Her research interest is related to eco-hydrological modelling and integrating hydrological models and water quality models to simulate water quality processes at large scale in consideration of calibration and validation using observations and process understanding.
