Do clean lakes really exist? By Yujia‚ Luo (Group 1) September‚ 2014 Introduction A main purpose of wastewater and sludge treatment is to remove phosphorus (P). It seems to be reasonable because excess phosphorus entering the aquatic systems can result in algal blooms. People have been taking much effort to explore simple‚ economic and high effective methods to remove phosphorus. Concentration of nitrogen (N) is another important element to assess the quality of freshwater. As the same with phosphorus

The city in recent times has become infamous due to its waste water discharge in the local river. According to a recent study‚ 2‚300-2‚500 total dissoluble solids (TDS) still make up the water. If the number crosses 500‚ the water becomes unfit for drinking and above 1‚500 TDS‚ it can’t be used for farming. The farmers on the banks of the river Noyyal are affected by the discharge of dyeing

Point and Nonpoint Pollution Sources Point Sources Point-source pollutants in surface water and groundwater are usually found in a plume that has the highest concentrations of the pollutant nearest the source (such as the end of a pipe or an underground injection system) and diminishing concentrations farther away from the source. The various types of point-source pollutants found in waters are as varied as the types of business‚ industry‚ agricultural‚ and urban sources that produce them. Commercial

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Urban centers‚ or sometimes simply cities‚ have higher population density along with various infrastructure features (Li‚ 2010). Such areas are supporting an increasing population growth rate which is posing a significant impact to the quality of infrastructures being provided (Department of Environment and Resource Management‚ 2010). As stormwater drainage system is one of the vital infrastructures in urban centers‚ it encounters degradation that brings

Although the quality of upstream river water is generally good‚ the downstream sections of major rivers reveal poor water quality‚ and most of the lakes and canals in urban areas have become sewage sinks. Many residents of Vietnam have wondered about the causes of water pollution‚ and many researchers have studied it. Accordingly‚ the two main causes of water pollution in Vietnam were the weakness in industrial wastewater management and the lack of civic
