Microbiological Stabilization Through Aerobic Digestion and Storage
A study was conducted to evaluate the pathogen indicator bacterial reductions in the sludges of six wastewater treatment plants. These plants were extended aeration and oxidation ditch...

Water Conservation Programs Impacts on Secondary Wastewater Treatment Performance
This paper presents summary details of a 1990 technical evaluation of the impacts of water conservation on the performance of several hypothetical secondary wastewater treatment plants....

Role of Soil-Aquifer Treatment in Water Reuse
Reuse of municipal wastewater requires treatment so that the water meets the quality requirements for the intended use. Irrigation of vegetables consumed raw requires absence of pathogenic...

Effect on Soil and Groundwater Due to Long-Term Land Treatment
A comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of a full-scale, operating overland flow (OLF) land treatment system was made of the Campbell Soup, Inc. OLF system in Paris, Texas....

Proposed California Regulations for Groundwater Recharge with Reclaimed Municipal Wastewater
The proposed California regulations for groundwater recharge with reclaimed municipal wastewater are presented with the basis and rationale for key requirements. The treatment and recharge...

Degradation of Ortochlorophenol in Aerobic and Anoxic-Aerobic Processes
Removal of OCP in sequencing batch reactors was shown to be independent of the presence or lack of co-substrate and independent of SRT for fully aerated reactors. The reactors with an...

Implementation of Agricultural Reuse in Florida
In mid 1986, the city of Sarasota was faced with the problem of removing a discharge of secondary treated wastewater from Sarasota Bay. The city embarked on a comprehensive evaluation...

Portland's New Approach to Maintenance
The traditional if it ain't broke don't fix it approach to maintenance was not working for Portland, Oregon's two wastewater treatment plants. By...

The Use of IFIM for Evaluating Effects of a Flow Alternative on Fish Habitat in a River System with Competing Water Demands
The Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) was used to evaluate instream fish habitat in the Platte River in central Nebraska. The IFIM analysis presented herein incorporates 1)...

Decision Rules for Reservoir Releases
One of the problems faced with computer modeling of a multi-reservoir, hydro-power system is making decisions on how releases will be made. Reservoirs many times have multiple demands...

The Zebra Mussel Invasion Niagara Power Project
The zebra mussel is a prolific mollusk that has recently invaded the Great Lakes region. It has a proven track record for causing severe macrofouling at power utilities and water municipalities....

Stream Water Quality Modeling in Ankara Metropolitan Area
At the time this study was undertaken, untreated wastewaters from Ankara metropolitan area (capital of Turkish Republic) were being discharged directly into Ankara Creek and its tributaries....

Effects of Wastewater Irrigation on Aqueous Geochemistry
A comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of a full-scale, operating overland flow (OLF) land treatment system was made of the Campbell Soup, Inc. OLF system in Paris, Texas....

Optimization of a Municipal Ground Water Production System in North-Central Oklahoma
A management model is being developed to optimize the municipal groundwater production system which supplies drinking water for the City of Enid, Oklahoma. The system is comprised of one...

Effect of Nile River Flow on Performance of Shoubrah Power Plant Cooling System
Shoubrah El-Khimah Power Plant was built in 1982. Its peak capacity is 1200 MW, generated by four units, three of them having one cooling water intake. The cooling water pumps suffer from...

Environmental and Hydraulic Considerations in the Design of a Circulating Water Cooling System
Environmental considerations play an important part in the design of a condenser cooling system. A once-through system may require assessment of a combination of events to determine the...

Design of a Stratified Cooling Channel
Cooling ponds are used for managing waste heat discharges. Cooling ponds are, however, expensive to construct and operate. A cooling channel is studied as an alternative means of managing...

Experimental Model Study of Over and Under Baffles
A hydraulic model study of a chlorine mixing channel was conducted at the Hydraulic Research Laboratory of the City of Los Angeles. An arrangement of over-under baffles was used to facilitate...

Applications of GIS for Water Quality Modeling in Agricultural and Urban Watersheds
Two studies were conducted to integrate: 1) an agricultural nonpoint source pollution model, AGNPS, with Geographic Information System (GIS) databases, digital elevation model (DEM) data,...

Diffuser Design for Water Quality-Based Toxics Control
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations require that the discharge of toxic pollutants to the waters of the United States be controlled. These regulatory requirements have made...
