But to date, there has been no robust method to identify the likely sources of river pollution, making it almost impossible to effectively address the problem.<\/p>\n<p>A recent research study co-authored by scientists at Oxford University now provides a new approach. This utilises \u2018inverse modelling\u2019, which works backwards from observations of pollution in rivers, tracing them back to the probable source.<\/p>\n<p>This is in contrast to current \u2018forward modelling\u2019 methods, which start from an assumed set of pollution sources and run forwards to estimate the eventual distribution and reach of the pollutants. However, this has several critical flaws \u2013 namely, that the potential sources need to be known in advance, and it is often based on large assumptions and uncertain data. <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ox.ac.uk\/news\/2024-10-17-novel-computational-method-could-prove-game-changer-tracking-down-river-polluters\"><strong>Read More: University of Oxford\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/75427-novel-computational-method-could-prove-a-game-changer-in-tracking-down-river-polluters\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/novel-computational-method-could-prove-a-game-changer-in-tracking-down-river-polluters\/\">Novel Computational Method Could Prove a Game-Changer in Tracking Down River Polluters<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16568,575,16569],"class_list":["post-134762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-computational-method","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-river-polluters"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134762\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
