Four nonlinear models for pollutant transport, reaction and turbulent diffusion in rivers and streams are studied. Exact solutions are obtained for all kinetic models (stirred tank reactors) and for all kinetic models plus transport (plug flow models). For the full systems travelling wave solutions exist and these are studied by means of upper and lower bounds found by using the maximum (minimum) principle. Bounds are also found for the steady state solutions by maximum principle analysis. Models are compared and the more appropriate ones suggested for application to real systems.
