Pilot plant study for one year: water quality management and algal control of sustainable urban stormwater ponds
Pond structures as cost-effective "source control" drainage techniques that can be applied to reduce the risk of downstream flooding and to recycle stormwater. There are no widely accepted performance and water quality management data on stormwater ponds, yet there is a need for operation and maintenance guidelines, coupled with data on reliability, economics and public acceptance. The purpose of ...

3 Common Water Quality Concerns
About 10 percent of pond owners experience water quality problems in their ponds. Unfortunately, most pond owners pay little attention to managing the quality of water and never get it tested. As a result, the problem is detected only when it gets worst. Water quality is influenced by both natural processes and external environmental factors.Natural factors may include the types of rock and soil ...

Cooling Ponds: An Efficient Solution to Industrial Waste Heat Disposal
Cooling ponds are large bodies of water that are used to dissipate the waste heat generated by various industrial processes. This technology has been widely adopted as a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for heat disposal, particularly in the power generation, petrochemical and manufacturing industries. ...

LG Sound integrates new technology to detect toxic algae blooms
LG Sound introduces satellite remote sensing technology in order to detect toxic algae blooms. Satellite remote sensing allows for detection of water quality from a distance with information obtained from satellites. Together with several European universities we discovered that different types of algae require different types of ultrasonic treatment. Therefore, it is important to detect the ...

£1.3m to help waning pond life
Thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) more than £1.3 million has been awarded to a scheme designed to train a wide variety of people as “citizen scientists”, enabling them to monitor and protect ponds and streams that play home to a large amount of British ...

Sampling moisture in the soil profile
Patterns of water replenishment and use give rise to large spatial variations in soil moisture over the depth of the soil profile. Accurate measurements of profile water content are therefore the basis of any water budget study. When monitored accurately, profile measurements show the rates of water use, amounts of deep percolation, and amounts of water stored for plant use.Experimental ...

Water Quality Data Logger for Monitoring Coal Mine Runoff
Water Quality Monitoring Solutions from dataTaker CAS DataLoggers provided an intelligent water quality data logging solution for an open-cut coal mine to monitor high salinity water runoff into local retaining ponds with a Water Quality Data Logger. The water from these retention ponds could only be released into the local river system when it was of sufficient quality to have no effect on the ...

Best management practices (BMPS) for discharging water from a construction site
Having problems on your job site with regulations related to pumping water from your site? Discharge water may carry harmful compounds that can, and have affected our water quality and the ecosystem, hence the environmental agencies concerns. When pumping from dewatering systems, storm water management ponds (SWMPs), excavations or trenches, or any form of surface runoff, BMPs are needed to ...

Using a constructed wetland for non-point source pollution control and river water quality purification: a case study in Taiwan
The Kaoping River Rail Bridge Constructed Wetland, which was commissioned in 2004, is one of the largest constructed wetlands in Taiwan. This multi-function wetland has been designed for the purposes of non-point source (NPS) pollutant removal, wastewater treatment, wildlife habitat, recreation, and education. The major influents of this wetland came from the local drainage trench containing ...

Map Algal Blooms with Satellite Remote Sensing Technology
The quality of water bodies is a key determinant in the usability of the resource for the purpose required. It is therefore of great importance to managers of hydrologic resources to be able to confidently tell the status of their water resource. One of the major problems in the quality of surface water bodies is the blooming of algae and blue green algae. Algal blooms can result in ecological, ...

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. ...

The Potential of Solar-Powered Water Circulators to Help Solve Serious Water and Energy Problems in the U.S.
With increasing human populations comes the corresponding increased need for improving water quality in lakes, wastewater ponds, potable water reservoirs, and other water storage facilities. Providing circulation within water reservoirs of all types has long been known to provide meaningful benefits, but the costs to achieve sufficient circulation through diffused aeration or mechanical mixers ...

Algal blooms in drinking water reservoirs
Drinking water reservoirs worldwide often suffer from frequent outbreaks of algal blooms. Their water quality degrades and becomes undrinkable. Algal blooms can grow so massive that they are even visible from outer space. Rising temperatures, extreme weather, stagnant water, and excess of nutrients accelerate algae growth. On hot summers, algae can grow very fast forming dense surface ...

The Three Waters reforms show change is coming, and Phathom can help you get ahead of the curve?
The latest Three Waters reports are out, and they show significant change is coming. The Three Waters reform is a major programme designed to redefine New Zealand’s approach to drinking water, stormwater, and wastewater to “improve community and environmental wellbeing” and to simplify the tangle of councils and regional authorities that currently have responsibility for these ...

SolarBee Technical Bulletin
A. SOLARBEE OVERVIEW 1. Origin of the SolarBee. Pump Systems, Inc. (PSI) developed, built and installed its first solar powered mixer in Dickinson, ND, in the summer of 1998. It was installed into a 30 acre x 13 foot deep municipal wastewater reservoir which had a long history of toxicity associated with ammonia, odor, and stratification problems. In six weeks the entire reservoir cleared up to ...

Solar-Powered Circulation Technology Clears Out Blue-Green Algae without the Costs and Hazards of Copper Sulfate
Untitled Document As the annual onslaught of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms continues to plague fresh water lakes and reservoirs, the use of copper sulfate to control the problem has become dubious. After 50 years of pouring innumerable tons of copper into lakes and reservoirs, the use of this algaecide has increased resistance and resulted in consequential ...
