'''Time scales for pollution assessment''' can be considered using three commonly used methods: [[Flushing Time|flushing time]], [[residence time]] and age.  In this article the methodologies and tools to quantify each of these methods is explained as well as the applicability of each method.

Transport time scales are useful tools to quantify the importance of hydrodynamic processes in the transport and fate of [[pollutant|pollutants]] in coastal and estuarine water systems. Indeed, the water quality of a system depends crucially on the retention of [[pollutant|pollutants]] within the system and its ability to flush them out. Transport time scales are often compared with the [[pollutant]] source time scales or biogeochemical processes to evaluate the relative importance of physical and water quality processes. <ref name="Monsen">Monsen N.E., Cloern J.E. and Lucas L.V (2002).

Compendium for Coast and Sea - creating a marine science-policy interface


The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an integrated knowledge document about the socio-economic, environmental and institutional aspects of the coast and sea in Flanders and Belgium. As such, it constitutes a one-stop shop for data and information from the Flemish and Belgian marine and maritime research community and experts. The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an initiative of the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and was developed in close collaboration with experts from the research community, government, industry and civil society organisations. The first version of the Compendium was launched in 2013, a second edition was presented in 2015.
