HYPOTHESIS ON THE REASONS FOR STRONG VARIABILITY CONCENTRATIONS OF IMPURITIES IN NATURAL WATERS

A hypothesis has been put forward about the formation of an increased dispersion of the concentration of substances polluting the water of the river flow under the influence of internal synergistic factors. The effect is manifested in the dispersion of controlled quality indicators, exceeding their average value, which in practice makes it difficult to manage water use. An assumption is made that such a dispersion is a consequence of the nonlinearity of systems that are far from thermodynamic equilibrium. It is possible that the driving force in this case is the turbophoresis of impurity particles in a turbulent, as a rule, water flow.
