The development of a coupled model (PCPF-SWMS) to simulate water flow and pollutant transport in Japanese paddy fields
A new coupled model (PCPF–SWMS) was developed for simulating fate and behavior of pollutant in paddy water and paddy soil. The model coupled the PCPF- 1, a lumped model simulating pesticide concentrations in paddy water and 1 cm-surface sediment compartment, and the SWMS-2D, a finite element numerical model solving Richard’s and advection-dispersion equations for solute transport in soil ...

In-Pile thermal desorption for treatment of Dioxin-Contaminated soil in Japan
Abstract A demonstration of thermal treatment of dioxin-contaminated soil was completed in Japan, under the sponsorship of the Japan Ministry of the Environment. TerraTherm’s proprietary In-Pile Thermal Desorption process was demonstrated to successfully treat the soil to the required standard of 1,000 picograms of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) toxic equivalents (TEQ) per gram ...

Review of spatial variations in water quality in the Gediz River
The Gediz River is one of the most important and main water source for the Gediz Basin of the Aegean region and Turkey. In this study, 18 water samples were collected from the source to the end of the river. Change in water quality, some trace elements and heavy metal contents of the Gediz River were determined. Analysis of the Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cr, Co, Cd and Ni showed that the quantity of Fe ...

Treatment of domestic wastewater using composite ecological system in Chinese rural area
In this study, a newly developed contaminant removal system for domestic wastewater in rural area was used at the first time in Henan province, China. This composite ecological system (CES) consists of septic tank (ST), improved soil filter (ISF) and surface flow wetland (SFW). The performances of the system was to investigate the removal of biological oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN), ...

Organic matter removal during pilot-scale soil aquifer treatment for domestic wastewater in the tropics
The potential of enhancing water uses using soil aquifer treatment (SAT) is an interesting alternative for tropical regions, limited only by lack of knowledge on its performance in local conditions and the feasibility of adapting this technology. A SAT pilot study was conducted to analyze the phenomena associated with the transformation of organic matter (OM) from domestic wastewater. ...

Number of residual thermotolerant coliforms on plants and in soil when using reclaimed domestic wastewater for irrigation
The reclamation of domestic wastewater for irrigation is one alternative approach to solve the water scarcity crisis, but it is essential to control the microbiological quality of wastewater used for irrigation. The removal of thermotolerant coliforms, also known as faecal coliforms (FC), from treated domestic wastewater by intermittent media infiltration (IMI) in column was studied. The ...

Family Farmers: The Original Conservationists
The modern conservation movement has its roots in the Dust Bowl era of the 1930’s when harsh winds swept soil from parched Midwest fields and created towering clouds of dust that plagued the country. Hugh Hammond Bennett, the father of the modern soil conservation movement, dramatically threw open the curtains of the room in which he was delivering testimony on soil erosion before Congress ...

Why it’s time to elevate groundwater
Groundwater stored in the earth’s crust underpins all our lives – the ultimate source of freshwater for billions has become victim of over-extraction and the ultimate sink for pollutants. For too long, not enough has been done to regulate the use of this precious, on-demand resource and manage disposal of waste. If rates of groundwater depletion have tripled in the past 3 decades, ...

Sustainable food production: Facts and Figures
Farming must feed more people more sustainably. Zareen Bharucha looks at scientific approaches past and present. Advances in agricultural science and technology (S&T) have contributed to remarkable increases in food production since the mid-twentieth century. Global agriculture has grown 2.5–3 times over the last 50 years. [1] This has let food production keep pace with human ...
