Characterizing scale- and location-dependent correlation of water retention parameters with soil physical properties using wavelet techniques

Understanding the correlation between soil hydraulic parameters and soil physical properties is a prerequisite for the prediction of soil hydraulic properties from soil physical properties. The objective of this study was to examine the scale- and location-dependent correlation between two water retention parameters ( and n) in the van Genuchten (1980) function and soil physical properties (sand ...

Choosing Right Methods for the Chlorine Disinfections to Meet Daily E. coli Limit in a Large Nitrification Plant

Indiana is one of a few states that has replaced a weekly Fecal limit with a daily E. coli limit as an indicator organism for wastewater disinfection. It has been accepted that E. coli is a better organism indicator. However, there is still not an EPA approved method for enumerating E. coli in wastewater. Indiana has adopted several different methods for use by wastewater treatment plants for ...
