Developing and Implementing a Performance Measurement System for a Water/Wastewater Utility
The primary purpose of this research was to provide methods and tools that enable a water/ wastewater utility to develop and implement a performance measurement system based on a demonstrated...
Reduction of Pathogens, Indicator Bacteria, and Alternative Indicators by Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Processes
In wastewater reclamation systems, microbiological monitoring is conducted to ensure that the users of reclaimed water are exposed to minimal risks from exposure to pathogens. Typically, utilities...
Managing Distribution Retention Time to Improve Water Quality
When water leaves a treatment works and travels through a distribution system, its quality, with respect to many chemical and biological parameters, will degrade. The quality of the delivered...
Preliminary Investigation of an Anaerobic Membrane Separation Process for Treatment of Low-Strength Wastewaters
As a result of an evaluation of biomass reduction technologies, anaerobic treatment was found to have potential for the lowest level of biomass production in the treatment of municipal and...
Identifying and Controlling Odor in the Municipal Wastewater Environment, Health Effects of Biosolids Odors
This report deals with whether the experience of odors, i.e., odors as sensations, from biosolids at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) causes illness. There exists no repository of information...
Assessing Methods of Removing Metals from Wastewater
The presence of cationic pollutant metals in municipal wastewater effluent is a concern because stringent discharge requirements cannot always be met...
Sewer Networks and Processes within Urban Water Systems
The papers in this volume were originally presented at the 18th European Junior Scientists Workshop (EJSW), Portugal, on 8-11 November 2003 and at the 1st Asian Junior Scientists Workshop (AJSW),...
An Examination of Innovative Methods Used in the Inspection of Wastewater Collection Systems (CD)
This report brings together a body of information on the characteristics of the wastewater pipe network and the most common defects encountered. The technologies and methods in use by utilities to...
Application of DNA Microarray Technology for Wastewater Analysis
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) microarrays are widely used for differential expression studies and for detection of virulence genes in pure bacterial cultures. Their use in complex microbial samples...
Safe Piped Water
The factors affecting the presence and growth of micro-organisms in piped networks are reviewed in this book, as are the practices of water supply organisations that can directly or indirectly...
