Basin Overview:
West Basin: 30,000 square feet. For raw sewage influent.
East Basin: 20,000 square feet. For a mix of secondary effluent and raw sewage influent.
Operating depths for both basins ~4 - 6 feet.

Pre-Deployment Conditions: Both basins contained grids of coarse bubble &l

Reservoir Overview: Small 3.5 acres drinking water reservoir with a depth of 20 feet.

Pre-Deployment Conditions: This reservoir experienced water quality issues associated with cyanob

Lake Varner in Newton County, Ga., about 35 miles east of Atlanta, has been plagued with harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms since the reservoir was built in 1992. At an average depth of 10 to 12 ft, the shallow lake water warms quickly in the spring, creating ideal breeding conditions for the blue-green algae blooms, which can contribute to taste and odor problems and be potentially toxic to fish and wildlife.

The 850-acre lake offers prime fishing and is a source of d

Reservoir Overview: Raw water reservoir for a small water treatment faciltiy. Surface Area: 800 square meters (0.7 acres) Max Depth: 3.7 meters (17.1 ft.). All inflow is received from a nearby lake.

Better raw water quality results in significant treatment savings and a fast pay-back.

Overview: This is a facultative pond for the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) serving a town of about 2,000. The WWTP is a continuous flow system with a design flow of 0.16 MG/day, but does receive up to 0.9 MG/day during rainy periods. The facultative treatment pond is 16 acres in surface area, and has a mean depth of 5.5 feet deep with an average slurry/

Overview: The City wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consists of two lagoons. The primary lagoon is a complete mix pond covering 2.8 acres with a 12 ft operating depth and a total volume of 6.9 MG. The secondary lagoon is a partial mix pond with three cells covering 35.2 acres with a total operating depth of 20-25 ft and a total volume of 138.8 MG. Influent to the prima
