A Wasteload allocation model, named Cost-Flow-Augmentation Model involving wastewater treatment and flow augmentation as a method of pollution abatement has been developed. The cost functions for wastewater treatment were developed as power functions of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) removal using the regression module of the SPSS10 software. The cost function for flow augmentation was also developed using a regression between cost of dam/barrage and corresponding flow released from upstream reservoir for downstream water quality improvement. The response of wasteloads and flow augmentation on the water quality was quantified in terms of transfer coefficient calculated using the QUAL2E water quality simulation model. The performance of these models is demonstrated on the 22-km-long Delhi stretch of river Yamuna, India. Optimal solutions of the formulated models were obtained using the Web-based interactive non-differentiable interactive multiobjective bundle-based optimization system software. The optimal solutions obtained reveal that flow augmentation is not an economically feasible pollution abatement option for the Delhi stretch of river Yamuna. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to monitor and record the specific characteristics and properties of most of the important water resources in Dalmatia located in Southern Croatia for a period of 5 years (1998–2002) according to established standards for drinking water. The paper presents a detailed account of their chemical content, the classification and the concentration of salts. The bacteriological pollution levels are indicated by the total coliform bacterial levels (MPN coli/100 mL). The water characteristics are expressed by coefficients, which represent the ratios between water ingredients. The Ca/Mg eq ratio, SO4/Cl eq ratio and K1, K2 for bicarbonate hardness were calculated. The hygienic characteristics of the water samples were expressed by the total coliform bacteria estimation (MPN coli/100 mL), the permanganate consumption (KMnO4) and biological oxygen demand (BOD5). Karst waters in Dalmatia are moderately hard, the SO4/Cl ratio is 0.38–1.6, non-corrosive (K1 lower than 0.2) and not significantly mineralised (< 500 mg/L minerals). Sulphate waters are generally hard, the SO4/Cl ratio is higher than 1.6, K1 is 0.2–0.65. Marine waters are quite hard or hard, particularly at the river estuaries, the SO4/Cl ratio is lower than 0.38, and K1 is higher than 0.65. The groundwater and springs in Dalmatia are less polluted than surface waters. A majority of these have a geometric average value of MPN coli < 150/100 mL of water observed in 24 of 42 locations studied. The highest bacteriological pollution was found in nine locations where MPN coli > 1000/100 mL and moderate pollution was found in nine locations where MPN coli is between 150 and 1000/100 mL of water. The physical and chemical parameters determined for the most sources in Dalmatia are safe below the international permissible limits. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the water quality of the Cértima River basin (Central Portugal). For that purpose, surface
water samples were collected in March, May and July 2003, at 10 selected sampling sites, and were analysed for physicochemical
parameters, namely temperature, conductivity, pH, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), Kjeldahl nitrogen and total phosphorus. Results revealed an acceptable water quality during the spring season. Maxima of
64 mg dm−3 for BOD5, 39 mg dm−3 for Kjeldahl nitrogen, and 5.2 mg dm−3 for total phosphorus, were recorded during summer, indicating a significant degradation of the water quality in a river stretch
located downstream of the town of Mealhada. These values, which did not comply with the objectives of minimum quality for
surface waters prescribed by the Portuguese legislation, were related to domestic wastewater discharges and runoff waters
from a cattle farm. Besides their effects on the middle stretch of the river, these pollution sources were the most likely
cause of the high nutrient load in downstream waters, and thus may have a major impact on the trophic status of Pateira de
Fermentelos, a sensitive wetland area located in the lower Cértima basin. 相似文献

In this article the water pollution control policies of these countries and their effects on emitters are analyzed. In the Netherlands, local water control boards levy pollution charges on both direct and indirect emitters. The charges are based upon measured emissions and actual treatment costs and they vary among the boards. Discharges into surface waters are by permission only. West German law sets nationally uniform rates only for direct emitters and some pollutants, irrespective of treatment costs. The States (Länder), however, may make indirect emitters liable to pay as well. In France, river basin agencies charge emitters and grant discounts where abatement facilities have been installed. Further policy instruments are tax cuts, subsidies, and standards set on local and national levels. France, in this complex policy, also uses contrats de branche where government and industries agree by contract on pollution abatement. Evidence shows that all these policies have reduced water pollution. As emissions decrease, problems of overcapacity might occur where collective water treatment plants have been installed already. Moreover, investment in additive abatement technology may inhibit the introduction of low-waste, integrated technologies. Yet the development of the latter, though expensive in the short run, should enable industry to meet more stringent standards in the future. 相似文献

A dissolved oxygen (DO) model is calibrated and verified for a highly polluted River Ravi with large flow variations. The model calibration is done under medium flow conditions (431.5 m3/s), whereas the model verification is done using the data collected during low flow conditions (52.6 m3/s). Biokinetic rate coefficients for carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) and nitrogenous biochemical oxygen demand (NBOD) (i.e, K cr and K n ) are determined through the measured CBOD and ammonia river profiles. The calculated values of K cr and K n are 0.36 day?1 and 0.34 day?1, respectively. The close agreement between the DO model results and the field values shows that the verified model can be used to develop DO management strategies for the River Ravi. The biokinetic coefficients are known to vary with degree of treatment (DOT) and therefore need to be adjusted for a rational water quality management model. The effect of this variation on level of treatment has been evaluated by using the verified model to attain a DO standard of 4 mg/L in the river using the biokinetic rate coefficients as determined during the model calibration and verification process. The required DOT in this case is found to be 96 %, whereas the DOT is 86 % if adjusted biokinetic rate coefficients are used to reflect the effect of wastewater treatment. The cost of wastewater treatment is known to increase exponentially as the removal efficiency increases; therefore, the use of appropriate biokinetic coefficients to manage the water quality in rivers is important. 相似文献

Belgaum city is a developmental hub of Karnataka State in India. In the recent time, the Government of Karnataka has planned
to set up many processing industries in the vicinity of Belgaum to meet the growing needs of the region and to ease out the
pressure on the already existing industrial hubs in Karnataka State. Ghataprabha, a tributary of river Krishna, is one of
the major sources of water supply to Belgaum city and adjoining areas. During the last decade, a lot of anthropogenic activities
such as unplanned agricultural activities are ongoing in many parts of the catchment. Therefore, people of Belgaum are more
concerned about the quality of water in Ghataprabha river. Considering the significance of water quality of the river, surface
water samples were collected during Pre- and Post-monsoon season from selected locations and analyzed for both physical and
chemical constituents in the laboratory. The results indicate that the chemical parameters such as bicarbonates, sulphates,
chlorides, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are within the permissible limits. QUAL2E model was applied to assess
the impact of point and non-point sources of pollution on the river water quality. Results show that the water quality conditions
are highly acceptable all along the river stretch. Further, the variation of DO–BOD5 with river discharge was also estimated. Also, a significant variations in DO (decrease in DO) with the increase in river
flow was observed. However, at the downstream end, considerable improvement in DO was noticed which is attributed to the damming
effect of the reservoir. 相似文献

3- on water samples of river Osun,selected rivers in the region and groundwaters. The pH,temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolvedsolids (TDS), total hardness (TH) and total carbon (IV) oxide(TCO2) have also been determined to asses the chemicalstatus and pollution levels of these water sources. The highervalues of certain parameters with respect to the acceptablestandard limits for drinking water indicate the pollution inboth groundwater and river water samples of the study area, and make the waters unsuitable for various applications. Thehigh pollution river water source showed higher levels ofphosphate, nitrate and ammonium ions (P < 0.05). There is nosignificant difference (P < 0.05) between the meanconcentrations of other inorganic nutrients in the high and lowpollution water source types. The correlation coefficientbetween quality parameter pairs of river water and groundwatersamples are determined and the significance of these parametersin both types of water sources are discussed. 相似文献

Spatial based compromise programming for multiple criteria decision making in land use planning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Today, competing land use is continuing to occur in many developed regions. In the Agricultural Development Zone of Western
Sydney Region, which is characterised by complex landscape patterns, land use competition is widespread. From a land use planning
perspective, identification of suitable locations for a given type of land use is necessary for decision makers to formulate
land use alternatives in different locations, based on existing land potential and constraints. For such a region, use of
a simple method that implements a categorical system and considers only inherent land characteristics in the analysis is often
inadequate to arrive at an optimal spatial decision. The primary aim of this paper is to develop spatial modelling procedures
for agricultural land suitability analysis using compromise programming (CoPr) and fuzzy set approach within a geographical
information systems (GIS) environment. Five main sets of spatial data for use as decision criteria were developed by using
fuzzy set methodology: a land suitability index (LSI) for maximising the land productivity objective; an erosion tolerance
index (ETI) for minimising the erosion risk objective; a runoff curve number (CN) for maximising the water discharge regulation
objective; an accessibility (RP) measure for maximising the land accessibility objective; and the proximity to water body
(WP) for minimising the water pollution objective. An L
p
-metric was used in the analysis utilising different strategies with representative indices ranging from a situation where
full tradeoff among criteria occurs to a noncompensatory condition. Different weighting combinations were also applied, and decision analysis was carried out by using values ranging
from 0 to 1.0, where 1.0 is considered as an ideal point. The CoPr model demonstrated in this paper yielded a promising result,
as several different techniques of sensitivity analysis show reasonably good results. Likewise, an overlay of that result
with the present land use/land cover indicates a good corresponding spatial matching between existing land use (orchard and
cultivated land), and the cells (land parcels) classified as the best in CoPr. The results are amenable to various map display
techniques, either using continuous values or by defining different cut off points in the data space within a raster GIS environment. 相似文献

Using the Yellow River, China, the study explores the problem of the use of COD and BOD5 as water quality management parameters in the presence of very high levels of suspended sediment (TSS) that characterize
this river. Although the amount of natural organic matter per unit of suspended sediment of the Yellow River is not high,
the very high concentration of mineral sediment in the Yellow River results in a large concentration of organic matter, which
artificially inflates the laboratory values of COD and, as a consequent, leads to greatly exaggerated reports of pollution
of the Yellow River. BOD5 can more accurately reflect the pollution of the Yellow River than COD; however, measured values of BOD under-report the
actual values due to settling of the sediment in the incubation chamber resulting in values that are 21.6--38.3% less than
the actual values. Therefore corrections are required for laboratory COD and BOD values so that the values are not artifacts
of the sediment regime. Our work provides new insight into this phenomenon and demonstrates how correction factors may be
determined and used with pollution data. Our work also suggests that the actual pollution levels of the Yellow River are probably
not as high as reported by monitoring agencies. 相似文献

The information on bacterial community composition (BCC) in Portuguese water bodies is very scarce. Cértima River (central
western Portugal) is known to have high levels of pollution, namely organic. In the present work, the BCC from a set of 16
water samples collected from Cértima River Basin and its main tributaries was characterized using 16S rDNA–denaturing gradient
gel electrophoresis, a culture-independent molecular approach. Molecular data were related to environmental parameters through
multivariate analysis to investigate potential impact of water pollution along the river. Principal component analysis using
environmental data showed a water quality gradient from more pristine waters (at the mountain tributaries) to waters with
increasingly eutrophic potential (such as Fermentelos Lake). This gradient was mainly defined by factors such as organic and
inorganic nutrient sources, electrical conductivity, hydrogen carbonate concentration, and pH. Molecular results showed variations
in BCC along Cértima River Basin but in the main river section, a Bacteroidetes phylotype (Flavobacterium sp.) proved to be dominant throughout the river course. Multivariate analysis suggests that spatial variation of BCC along
the Cértima River Basin depended mainly on parameters such as Chl a, total suspended solid (TSS), total organic carbon, electrical conductivity, and HCO
_boxclose^-_{3}^{-} levels. Bacteroidetes phylotypes were all related to higher electrical conductivity and HCO3-_{3}^{-} levels although some of these were also correlated with high SO42-_{4}^{2-} and others with high soluble reactive phosphorus, nitrate, TN, and Kjeld-N levels. The Gammaproteobacteria occurrence was correlated with high SO42-_{4}^{2-} levels. One of the Betaproteobacteria phylotypes showed to correlate with low redox potential (Eh) and high temperature, pH, TSS, and Chl a levels while another one showed a negative correlation with Chl a values. 相似文献

Various physico-chemical characteristics of the River Yamuna flowing in Haryana through Delhi were studied in the summer (April 1998) and winter (Jan.-Feb. 1999). Ecological parameters like dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, nitrate (NO3-), sulfate (SO4(2-)), and phosphate (PO4(3-)), were analyzed and compared with standard permissible limits to assess the best-designated use of the river water for various purposes. The river in Delhi upstream was of better quality whereas the Delhi downstream stretch was polluted as indicated by very low DO and high total dissolved solids (TDS), electric conductivity (EC), total hardness, Na+, K+, Cl-, F- and SO4(2-). The differences in various parameters were statistically significant (p < 0.01) when compared for the Delhi upstream and downstream stretches of the river, particularly in summer. DO and TDS were found to be two important parameters, which showed strong correlation with several other parameters and hence can serve as good indices of river water quality. The river tended to recover from the pollution stress after flowing through a distance of about 80 km downstream of Delhi. 相似文献

Contamination of oxygen-consuming organics (OCOs) was one of the most serious problems in the Yellow River of China. This
study was conducted to analyze monitoring of the data on OCOs contamination for the river in 1980 and during 1992–1999 as
well as examining the effect of suspended solids (SS) on chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) of river water. Several significant results have arisen from the study. First, CODMn and BOD5 of the river water showed an increasing trend from the upper to the lower reaches of the mainstream. BOD5 values of river water in 1992 were significantly higher than those in 1980 and showed an increasing trend during 1992–1999.
Second, OCOs in river water of the mainstream was attributed mainly to point sources; the ratio of point to non-point sources
of BOD5 was about 2.81. The load from point sources showed an increasing trend during 1992–1998. In contrast, the load from non-point
sources manifested a decreasing trend during this period; this was caused by the decreasing trend of SS content in river water.
The total load of BOD5 from point and non-point sources displayed an increasing trend during 1992–1998. Third, as the humic substances in SS can
hardly be biologically oxidized in natural conditions but can be oxidized by chemical oxidants such as potassium permanganate,
CODMn was not suitable for being regarded as a parameter reflecting the pollution degree of OCOs in river water with a high SS
content. 相似文献

Spatial and Temporal Trends of Physicochemical Parameters in the Water of the Reconquista River (Buenos Aires, Argentina) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Castañé PM Rovedatti MG Topalián ML Salibián A 《Environmental monitoring and assessment》2006,117(1-3):135-144
The Reconquista river is one of the most polluted watercourses in Argentina. More than 3 million people and over 10,000 industries
are settled on its basin. The available data show that pollution is mainly related to the discharge of domestic and industrial
liquid wastes that are poured into the river almost untreated. At present no site of the river can be characterized as free
of pollutants. Samples were taken monthly from 5 sites of the river; some 18–20 physicochemical parameters were determined
in each sample. Analyses revealed significant differences in the degree of deterioration between sites. Two of them, close
to the source of the river (Cascallares-S1 and Paso del Rey-S2) resulted less polluted than the two points located close to the mouth of the river (San Martin-S4 and Bancalari-S5). The worsening of the water quality in S4–S5 was attributed to the discharges of the Moron stream, a tributary that flows into the main course of the river a complex
mixture of non treated waste waters. PCA was used in the ordination of samples (sites, season and physicochemical parameters).
In the PCA performed using all variables, the first principal component showed positive correlation with N-NH4
+, conductivity, orthophosphate, BOD5, COD and alkalinity, and negative correlation with DO. The second principal component was positively correlated with pH,
temperature and chlorophyll a and negatively with phenols and hardness. In respect to the spatial distribution, the plot of the scores for the first two
components of samples taken in each sampling station showed S1 and S2 values displayed farthest at the left side of the X axis with high DO. In contrast, S4 and S5 values stayed at the right side of this axis with high N-NH4
+, conductivity, orthophosphate, BOD5, COD and alkalinity; data of S3 were “intermediate". In order to identify seasonal trends in the concentration of contaminants scores of cases labeled by
season were plotted. The line drawn on the ordination plane showed that summer samples tended to converge to the upper right
portion of the graph where pollution variables had more importance on the first axis, and along the second axis with high
correlation with pH, temperature and chlorophyll a. Winter scores were settled in the left lower part of the plot with minor contribution of pollution parameters and more importance
of DO on the first axis. Samples of autumn and spring did not fit a clear cut pattern.

A study of the water quality of the Potrero de los Funes River (San Luis – Argentina) was carried out in order to evaluate
the possible effect of the anthropogenic activities on the river developed in the homonymous town. Samples were collected
during the period March 2000–November 2005 at three selected sampling sites (RP1, RP2 and RP3). Different physicochemical and bacteriological parameters (turbidity, pH, conductivity, suspended solids, alkalinity, potassium,
sodium, calcium, magnesium, chlorides, nitrates, phosphates, sulphates, chemical oxygen demand (COD), 5-day biological oxygen
demand (BOD5), dissolved oxygen, total coliforms, Escherichia coli and total heterotrophic bacteria) were analysed according to the Standard Method for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.
When comparing the values of total coliforms, E. coli, total heterotrophic bacteria, COD, BOD5 and phosphates from the zone without anthropogenic influence (RP1) and the urban zones (RP2 and RP3) an important variation in the parameters was observed. These results indicate that the urban activity produces a serious
and negative effect on the water quality, thus constituting a sanitary risk and may have a major impact on the trophic status
of the Potrero de los Funes dam. As case study, we report on the use of General Quality Index (GQI) to evaluate spatial and
seasonal changes in the water quality of Potrero de los Funes River. Results revealed a significant degradation of the water
quality at RP2 and RP3. 相似文献

The Antuã River, located in northwestern Portugal, drains a region with a high population density and a strong economic dynamism. These factors, together with a lack of facilities for appropriate treatment of domestic and industrial sewage, are putting increasing pressure on water resources. In this context, the aim of the present study was to identify point sources of pollution and to assess the surface water quality in the Antuã basin by monitoring physicochemical variables. A total of 40 point sources of wastewater, including some with a high pollution load, were detected in the most populated and industrialized areas of the São João da Madeira and Oliveira de Azeméis municipalities. These sources explained the strong degradation of water quality observed in the upper and medium Antuã River and in one of its tributaries, where maxima of 49 mg l?1 for biochemical oxygen demand, 29 mg l?1 for Kjeldahl nitrogen and 3.7 mg l?1 for total phosphorus, were found after five surface water monitoring campaigns. Despite the relevance of pollution problems, a considerable water quality improvement, promoted by favourable reaeration conditions, was observed in the final stretch of the river, giving evidence of a great self-depuration capacity. However, the Antuã is a significant contributor of nutrients to the Ria de Aveiro, the coastal lagoon where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. 相似文献

Minho River, also called Miño (in Spain), extends to about 300 km from Spain to Portugal. The source of the river lies in Spain and in the last 75 km, the river defines the border between Portugal and Spain. Under the scope of a cooperation project between North Portugal and Galicia region of Spain, titled: “Valorization of the natural resources of the Minho/Miño drainage basin”, seven water-sampling campaigns were carried out during the last 2 years in Minho River basin. Seven sampling sites were selected along the international stretch, and five were chosen in the main Portuguese and Spanish tributaries of Minho River. Water quality based on the physicochemical and microbial parameters was assessed. According to the Portuguese legislation for surface waters, the international section of Minho River presents a reasonably good water quality (BOD5 <5 mg/L, TNK <2 mg/L, and total phosphorous <1 mg P/L). Valença and Louro were found to be the most polluted sampling sites and Louro the most polluted tributary (maximum values observed: TSS?=?26 mg/L, BOD5?=?6.6 mg O2/L, COD?=?20.8 mg O2/L, total nitrogen?=?9.9 mg N/L; minimum value observed: OD?=?1.3 mg O2/L). A one-dimensional stream water quality model QUAL2Kw was calibrated using data measured in field surveys along the international stretch of Minho River. QUAL2Kw was also used to predict the impact of flow conditions, discharges, and tributaries on the water quality of international stretch of Minho River, essential to establish proposals for management and planning of Minho River Basin. 相似文献

Sizing a new reservoir is a challenging task, which normally requires simultaneously a cost-effective, risk-informed, and
forward-looking decision analysis with respect to basin-wide hydrological features, environmental quality, and biological
integrity. Such a sustainable planning approach takes into account the global trend to balance the needs of economic growth,
ecological conservation, and environmental protection. To achieve the goal of sustainability, emphasis in this paper was placed
upon the correlation of three physical, chemical, and biological indices, including the dissolved oxygen (DO), the 5-day biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD5), and the index of biotic integrity (IBI), for the optimal planning of a reservoir in a river basin. This new methodological
paradigm has been employed for sizing an off-stream reservoir in the Hou-Lung River Basin, central Taiwan. The internal linkage
between the water quality parameters (DO and BOD5) and the IBI levels further enables us to formulate a special biotic integrity constraint which reflects fish community attributes
to suit a relatively low-density and unspecialized freshwater fish fauna in response to the changing water quality conditions
in the river basin. The tradeoffs among economic, environmental, and ecological aspects for reservoir sizing can then be based
on the river flow patterns, the water demand, the water quality standards, and the anticipated biological integrity in some
critical river reaches. Findings in a preliminary case study suggest that an optimal pumping scheme may be smoothly maintained
on a yearly basis within a combined multicriteria and multiobjective decision-making process. 相似文献
