The Benefits of Mixers in Water Storage Tanks
Why use a mixer? The main benefit of using a mixer is that it keeps your water in the tank fresh. If you don’t have mixer when the tank fills the warm water that was in the tank rises to the top and the new fresh water that is cooler in temperature stays at the bottom causing stratification. When stratification occurs, and the warm water stays at the top it never really gets used, and the ...

Inference of basin flood potential using nonlinear hysteresis effect of basin water storage: case study of the Koshi basin
Current flood forecasting tools for river basins subject to extreme seasonal monsoon rainfall are of limited value because they do not consider nonlinearity between basin hydrological properties. The goal of this study is to develop models that account for nonlinearity relationships in flood forecasting, which can aid future flood warning and evacuation system models. Water storage estimates ...

Three examples of temporary stormwater catchments in dense urban areas: a sustainable development approach
ABSTRACTThe Seine Saint-Denis County Council carried out a study involving 200 water storage installations within its jurisdiction. The results showed that many of the basins were inadequate in such a dense urban area. The main problems were the following: difficulty of access, insufficient maintenance and poor integration into the urban landscape. To remedy the situation, the DEA launched ...

Study on extinction depth and steady water storage in root zone based on lysimeter experiment and HYDRUS-1D simulation
HYDRUS-1D was combined with lysimeter experiments to study extinction depth and steady water storage in root zone (Ws) of groundwater evaporation (ETgw) under winter wheat and silt soil. The measured soil water contents and daily ETgw with various groundwater depths were used to calibrate and validate the parameters in HYDRUS-1D. In total, 13 groundwater depths ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 m were ...

The Importance of Adhering to NFPA 22 and AWWA Guidelines: Insights from Nationwide Tanks
Water storage tanks, especially those employed for fire suppression, play a critical role in ensuring the safety of countless buildings and structures. Given their vital function, the design, production and utilization of these tanks require strict adherence to established guidelines. This is where the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 22 and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) ...

Construction Site Stormwater Management - Case study
Issues and Challenges: Turbid construction stormwater. No on-site collection basins or management options. Diminished site access. Staging area restricted. Methods and Solutions: Low cost approach involved the placement of poly lined high-sided dumpsters for water storage and settling. A series of Biostar-CH Floc 500 bags were placed in line to treat water as it was pumped. The treated ...

Prevent Ice Damage In Potable Water Storage Tanks
It never fails… The battle of Summer and Fall happens every year right on or around Labor Day weekend in North Dakota. And most times, Fall wins in quick fashion. Moving toward October, the brisk shiver of cooler temperatures serve as an all too familiar reminder that it won’t be too long before the long prairie winter sets in. We often joke that the best thing about a North ...

Project PS Bangor City - Case Study
Landustrie supplied two Landy Archimedes screw pumps for doubling the capacity of water storage in the underground storm water bassin at Pumping Station Luke's Point (Northern Ireland Water). With a capacity of 1,200 l/sec these screw pumps enable the station to deal with heavy rainfall and reduce flooding. Both screws dimension 1950 mm diameter and 6 meter long. Special feature is the use of ...

SAWA Project - HEA ,Watershap Hunze en Aa’s. Water storage combined with economic development.
In the project "Blue City" in the Provence of Groningen in The Netherlands, a new recreational lake of 800 ha has been created in 2006. The lake has a good water quality and creates an economic impulse for the poor region. In the lake an extra peak storage of 4 million m³ water is possible. This will happen once in 30 years. To avoid conflicts between WFD and FD the nutrient rich storage ...

Extending the global gradient algorithm to unsteady flow extended period simulations of water distribution systems
This paper introduces an extension of the Global Gradient Algorithm (GGA) to directly solve unsteady flow problems arising from the presence of variable head water storage devices, such as tanks, in Extended Period Simulations (EPS) of looped water distribution networks (WDN). Such a modification of the original algorithm was motivated by the need to overcome oscillations and instabilities ...
