Water quality assessment using multivariate statistical techniques in Río Tercero Reservoir, Argentina
Water quality monitoring programs generate complex multidimensional data sets. In this study, multivariate statistical techniques were employed as an effective tool for the analysis and interpretation of these water quality data sets. Principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were applied to evaluate spatial and temporal variation of water quality in Río Tercero ...

NPS, Eastern River and Mountains Network - Case Study
Overview Since 1999, the National Park Service has conducted long-term ecological monitoring designed to identify and monitor conditions of their highest priority natural resources. The Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network is one of 32 networks formed to implement this integrated monitoring program which is tailored to specific needs of parks located in similar environmental settings. Due to its ...

Cyto- and genotoxic profile of groundwater used as drinking water supply before and after disinfection
The assessment of the toxicological properties of raw groundwater may be useful to predict the type and quality of tap water. Contaminants in groundwater are known to be able to affect the disinfection process, resulting in the formation of substances that are cytotoxic and/or genotoxic. Though the European directive (98/83/EC, which establishes maximum levels for contaminants in raw water ...

Application of water pollution detector
Background: The (nitrate) link between agriculture and water quality is nutrient abundance - I've always thought the main issue was with fertilizers. Excessive nutrient loss often leads to eutrophication of surface waters. This condition can lead to harmful algal blooms (HAB), which produce dangerous toxins and cause a drop in dissolved oxygen, killing fish in both marine and freshwater ...

The Effectiveness of Intrawell ground water monitoring statistics
Abstract The reality of the new statistical evaluation requirements for ground water at Subtitle D facilities are being felt nationwide. All too often these requirements are resulting in unnecessary increases in ground water monitoring costs and erroneous indications of facility impacts. For example, a common situation faced by many older facilities is that there is statistically significant ...

Water recycling in Western Australia: analysis of 2003–2009 water quality monitoring programme
Water-recycling schemes have been in operation in Western Australia since 1960. As a requirement of the regulatory framework for wastewater reuse, periodic water quality monitoring has been implemented to demonstrate microbial compliance for the intended end-use. For this study, we originally planned to analyse the compliance of the 92 water recycling schemes in the database over a 7 year ...

Australian Wildfires and Water Supplies
No matter whether rain comes sooner or later, fires are damaging water supplies already stressed by drought and high temperatures As of this writing, much of Australia is on fire and is expected to burn for months. The fires have killed 25 people so far, and streams of refugees are fleeing and wondering how livable their land will be in the future. How bad is it? The fires are big enough to ...

Managing RCRA statistical requirements to minimize ground water monitoring costs
Abstract This paper will provide an overview of how ground water monitoring statistical choices can significantly impact a facility's ground water monitoring costs. For example, a recent study analyzed the long term ground-water monitoring cost impacts of different statistical analysis approaches on over 20 landfills. The study found that the choice of statistical approach can make over a 50% ...

Spatial analysis of water quality using a combination of GIS and statistical software
GIS-based spatial analysis was combined with statistical analysis to process time varying water quality data. A data model was employed to manage the spatio-temporal data. The spatial data engine of ArcSDE was used to access the database. A data relationship model was developed to perform data communication between GIS and the statistical software. Visual Basic was used to construct links between ...

The Perspective of Microbiotests Application of Surface Water Monitoring and Effluent Control in Estonia
Abstract: In Estonia, traditional chemical monitoring of surface water and effluents is performed but bioassays are not used as monitoring tools. Furthermore, the expediency of application of toxicity tests to surface water monitoring is questionable. The main aim of this study was to test the feasibility of using microbiotests in the biomonitoring of surface waters and effluents. The ...

High frequency monitoring needed to protect UK rivers - Case Study
The science behind nutrient pollution in rivers is still poorly understood despite the fact that nitrate and phosphate concentrations in the UK’s rivers are mostly unacceptable, although an element of uncertainty exists about what an acceptable level actually is. Key to improving our understanding of the sources and impacts of nutrient pollution is high-resolution monitoring across a broad ...
