Comparative analysis of the outflow water quality of two sustainable linear drainage systems
Three different drainage systems were built in a roadside car park located on the outskirts of Oviedo (Spain): two sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), a swale and a filter drain; and one conventional drainage system, a concrete ditch, which is representative of the most frequently used roadside drainage system in Spain. The concentrations of pollutants were analyzed in the outflow of all ...

Pilot-scale study of vertical flow constructed wetland combined with trickling filter and ferric chloride coagulation: influence of irregular operational conditions
The aim of this study was to characterize the efficiency of an intensified process of vertical flow constructed wetland having the following particularities: (i) biological pretreatment by trickling filter, (ii) FeCl3 injection for dissolved phosphorus removal and (iii) succession of different levels of redox conditions along the process line. A pilot-scale set-up designed to simulate a ...

Water quality and quantity assessment of pervious pavements performance in experimental car park areas
Pervious pavements have become one of the most used sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) techniques in car parks. This research paper presents the results of monitoring water quality from several experimental car park areas designed and constructed in Spain with bays made of interlocking concrete block pavement, porous asphalt, polymer-modified porous concrete and reinforced grass with ...

Preparation of slow-releasing oxygen materials and study on their properties
Slow-releasing oxygen materials were prepared to overcome some limitations regarding the low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and the low efficiency of in-situ purification in groundwater. Tests on slow-releasing oxygen materials that could be used to change the reductive environment in groundwater by slowly releasing oxygen were carried out. Oxygen-releasing laboratory experiments were ...

Groundwater monitoring around hydraulic fracturing sites in Colorado - Case study
Hydraulic fracturing or ‘Fracking’ has become more prevalent and controversial in the US in recent years. More than 90 percent of new wells in the US are completed using this method. While it is endorsed by some as a game-changer that promises an increase in the nation’s economy due to energy independence, job creation, and lower energy prices; others are calling for a temporary ...

Effect of agro-activities on drinking-water quality in Bangladesh
Fifty-nine samples of drinking water were collected from various locations in Bangladesh to assess the impact of agricultural practices on groundwater quality. The basic groundwater quality parameters, such as pH, total dissolved solids, iron, sodium, chloride, sulfate, fluoride and arsenic were analysed. In addition, the presence of excess fertilizers was monitored by measuring levels of ...

Variations of nitrogen transport in the mainstream of the Yellow River, China
Three sections along the mainstream of the Yellow River were chosen as sites for monitoring the concentration variations of nitrogen species. First, the nitrogen in the water was mainly dissolved and dominated by nitrate–nitrogen. Second, the nitrogen concentrations in the middle stream were much higher than those in the upper stream, and close to those in the lower stream. Third, the nitrogen ...

Data Requirements for Ground Water, Surface Water, and Leachate
It is common for ground water to be contaminated with the water soluble substances found in overlying soils. Many of the required data elements are similar, e.g., pH, TOC, BOD, COD, oil and grease, contaminant identification and quantification, and soil and aquifer characterization. Additional water quality monitoring data elements include hardness, ammonia, total dissolved solids, and metals ...

Control Algae and Improve the Water Quality in Waste Stabilization Ponds
Due to population growth, accelerated urbanisation and economic development, the quantity of waste water generated is increasing globally. Mainly in low-income areas, a large proportion of the waste water is discharged directly in the environment. When the waste water is treated, the treatment plants may not remove certain pollutants that can have a negative impact on the people and ecosystem. ...

RO monitors and Controllers: pros and cons
A look at a range of devices for watching TDS. One major question a potential customer may ask before they purchase a point-of-use/point-of-entry (POU/POE) water treatment system is, “How often will I need to change the filter?” Maintenance and service are directly related to two of their major concerns: money and health. People don’t want to spend money unnecessarily, yet ...

Source Water Monitoring Guide for Drinking Water Treatment
The purpose of source water monitoring is to enable drinking water treatment facilities to identify changes in water quality, implement treatment strategies based on the characteristics of the water, optimize the treatment processes, and take preventative actions to protect the source water from intentional and accidental contamination. Unexpected changes in water quality or the presence of ...
