The purpose of this paper was to formulate a mathematical model which can be used to simulate a two‐dimensional distribution of substance concentrations in the river Rhine. With this model, the concentration profiles both in flow direction and at right angles to the river axis can be realized. It can be used to predict the concentration of substances in large rivers as a function of the discharge, the hydraulic conditions and the possible biological degradation.
