Point-of-Entry/Point-of-Use Water Treatment-? Where Do We Go From Here?
The development and marketing of point-of-entry-entry/point-of-use (POE/POU) devices has become a multi-million dollar business, and is projected to become even larger with the annual...

Conducting a Waterline Corrosion Evaluation
A study has been conducted to determine the level of corrosion activity occuring on the U.S. Navy's potable waterlines on Guam. The study evaluated soil parameters including...

Loss of Carrying Capacity in Pipes?Transporting Softened Water with High pH
The increase in pipe roughness and loss in carrying capacity for water mains carrying high pH water is documented with over 20 field tests conducted in Austin, Texas. The data show that...

Pre-Treatment Process Control of a Variable Quality Raw Water Supply
The West Coast Regional Water Supply Authority is the public agency charged with the development of public water supply for the Tampa Bay Area in the state of Florida. The Authority's...

Study of Direct Potable Reuse of Reclaimed Wastewater: Preliminary Results
The study includes a comprehensive attempt to measure as many as possible of the parameters which may effect the public health risk associated with reuse of municipal wastewater, after...

Selective Calcium Removal for Water Softening
The paper reports on a 'Water Quality Control Study' for the City of Lafayette, Louisiana. This paper focuses on the laboratory phase of the project. The City...

Removal of Priority Pollutants in Wastewater by Secondary Treatment and Groundwater Recharge
Monitoring influent and effluent wastewater for organic priority pollutants at two Tucson-area treatment facilities has shown significant removal rates for commonly detected pollutants....

Management of Leachate from Sanitary Landfills
Sanitary landfills remain the most common form of solid waste disposal in America. However, environmentalists are concerned about the degradation of ground water by leachate, which is...

Development of a Sanitary Landfill Design in New Jersey?Why Proposed RCRA Changes are Not Going to Affect the Design
On August 24, 1988, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed substantial revisions to Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In most states the...

Instrumentation of Landfill Cover Liners: Moisture Transport Studies
Accurate estimation of the amount of water leaking through the cover liner, into the landfill, is vital for estimating the possible amount of leachate that can be generated into a landfill...

Comparison of Preozonation and Prechlorination in the Treatment of Several Raw Water Supplies
Bench scale testing of 18 raw water supplies from various locations throughout the eastern United States was conducted to evaluate their susceptibility to ozonation, and to compare preozonation/conventional...

The Effect of UV Radiation on THM Formation in Drinking Waters
This study was undertaken to investigate the feasibility of using combined UV radiation/chlorination process in drinking water treatment for disinfection while producing lower concentrations...

Preacquisition Environmental Site Assessments: Avoiding Common Errors and Omissions
The 1986 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) established an 'innocent-purchaser' defense to environmental liability from ownership of contaminated...

Quantitative Dye-Tracing of Karst Ground-Water Flow
Analysis of the results of repeat quantitative dye traces between a sinkhole and a spring used for public water supply were used to describe predictive relations between discharge, mean...

Computerized Data Processing, Displays and Groundwater Flow Analyses of the Stringfellow Hazardous Waste Site
Several types of data, maps, and figures were obtained from various sources involved in the investigations and monitoring at the site. This information was discretized, and a computerized...

NAPL and Contaminant Transport in the Soil Matrix
A one-dimensional multiphase mass transport model for the migration of a Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) containing sparingly water soluble organics in the unsaturated soil zone is described....

Surface Water Particles: Coagulation and Sorption
A size-dependent particle and particle-associated contaminant transport and fate model is presented. The unsteady, two-dimensional model couples the water column and bed and enables analysis...

Trio of Microcomputer Models for Organic Chemical Transport in Rivers
Three microcomputer models have been jointly developed to provide tools to simulate the fate of organic chemicals in river systems. The three models offer a range of complexities and data...

A Risk-Based Evaluation of Best Management Practices to Control Agricultural Groundwater Contamination
The probabilities of groundwater contamination by pesticides under different management alternatives were evaluated in a single county in Oklahoma by coupling an agricultural infiltration...

Transport of Injected Produced Water: A Sensitivity Study
This paper deals with the development and application of a model to assess potential environmental effects on Underground Sources of Drinking Water (USDW) due to the presence of an improperly...
