Inverse uncertainty characteristics of pollution source identification for river chemical spill incidents by stochastic analysis
Abstract
Uncertainty rules of pollution source inversion are revealed by stochastic analysis A release load is most easily inversed and source locations own largest uncertainty Instantaneous spill assumption has much less uncertainty than continuous spill The estimated release locations and times negatively deviate from real values The new findings improve monitoring network design and emergency response to spills
