Abstract: Field measurements of the bulk descriptors of water quality such as BOD, DO, TN and FC in the Johor Straits were monitored and found to show little variation with depth. Nutrient levels at certain tidal inlet areas with treated sewage effluent indicate the likelihood of algal bloom. This paper also describes the application of a depth-averaged tidal circulation model coupled with the depth-averaged water quality model for the baseline calibration of bulk parameters for water quality in Singapore coastal waters.
