Privatization and Water Supply/Treatment Projects
Privatization is often mentioned as a way to get much needed, but difficult to finance infrastructure projects delivered for both developed and developing countries. However, the suitability...
Derivation of New Dispersion Coefficient Equation for Natural Streams
A new simple method for predicting dispersion coefficient by using hydraulic and geometric data easily obtained in natural streams has been developed. Dimensional analysis was implemented...
From Sediment to Solid
While closing a 32 acre, storm-water impoundment area contaminated with petroleum waste sediments at an oil refinery, engineers came up with a more-effective treatment plan that saved...
Cleaning Up Clay
Using soil vapor extraction to remove volatile organic compounds from ground water and unsaturated soils can achieve faster and more-complete cleanups than conventional pump-and-treat...

19 Tough Acts to Follow
The nominations for this year's Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award included everything from runway extensions to highway extensions, water fun parks to water...
Back to Bacteria: A More Natural Filtration
Drinking-water treatment used to be simple: use the best source available, filter if turbidity is present and add plenty of chlorine. Typically, these are the barriers that guard against...
Building a Landfill on Mud(Available only in Geo/Environmental Special Issue)
In the early 1980s, officials at the Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) thought they had found the ideal site for a new municipal landfill: low acquisition cost, direct access from...
Management of Water Treatment Plant Residuals
Potable water treatment processes produce safe drinking water and generate a wide variety of waste products known as residuals, including organic and inorganic compounds in liquid, solid,...

Washington Buildup
Despite its reputation as a city mired in fiscal crisis, Washington, D. C., continues to improve its basic infrastructure. A look at three ongoing projects�a sports arena, a waste water...
Pump and Treat and Wait (Available only in the Geo/Environmental Special Issue)
Pump and treat, a common ground-water cleanup technique, is slow to clean up deep contaminated aquifers. Adaptive intermittent pumping can increase the cleanup rate�and decrease costs�by...
Engineered Contaminated Soils and Interaction of Soil Geomembranes
Due to liability issues, landfills are no longer considered the best method of waste disposal. Innovative, safe disposal methods for large quantities of contaminated soils and waste are...
