In this paper we present an analytical solution for advection-diffusion equation, which models the problem of contaminant dispersion in rivers and canals. Therefore, are considered the two-dimensional vertical and three-dimensional models in steady state. The models are valid for variables velocity profiles and turbulent diffusivities. The approach for the resolution of models is the GILTT method. We also present numerical simulations.
