Abstract:

Oceanographic data and numerical models were used to evaluate candidate diffuser sites to discharge effluent from Boston's planned secondary treatment plant. The study showed that, while 'worst case' conditions might be the same at the various sites, average conditions were more favorable with increasing distance offshore.
