There has no matching water quality model reported in literature so far, although the hydraulic model of plain river network has been established by utilizing the cell-dividing method in the past decades. The feasibility and efficiency of the cell-dividing method used to solve water quality variables is demonstrated in this paper. A novel combined-cell water quality model based on cell-dividing method is proposed and applied to stimulating the water quality of Nantong river network of China, with results, showing the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
