Abstract
BackgroundWater quality is a critical component of environmental and public health, as polluted water bodies can lead to serious health outcomes. The Miljacka river, flowing through Sarajevo, has been significantly impacted by industrial and urban wastewater discharges.ObjectiveThis study aims to develop a 3D digital model of the Miljacka river, built on topographic and satellite data, to support improved pollution assessment and inform water quality management strategies.MethodA 3D model of the river was created using integrated hydrological, topographic and satellite data. Initial 2D schematics were developed in AutoCAD and visualizations were produced in SketchUp, Revit and Twinmotion to simulate river flow dynamics and pollutant dispersion. Areas of interest were identified to assess the spatial distribution of contaminants.ResultsThe model enabled the visualization of pollutant movement and the identification of potentially high-risk zones along the river's course. Analysis of the available data suggests possible impacts of pollution on public health, particularly in relation to chemical contaminants and microbial loads, although further studies are needed for a more precise assessment of health risks.ConclusionThis research highlights the importance of integrating advanced digital technologies in environmental health assessment.
期刊介绍：
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
