Similarity of Sampling Sites by Water Quality

Evaluation of water quality using acceptance sampling by variables

Under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, states must identify water segments where loads of. pollutants are violating numeric water quality standards. Consequences of misidentification are quite important. A decision that water quality is impaired initiates the total maximum daily load or TMDL planning requirement. Falsely concludin~ that a water segment is impaired results in unnecessary T...

Water Quality in Hydroelectric Sites

The Use of an Optimization Method in Assessment of Water Quality Sampling Sites

This paper examines the application of an optimization method that can be used to assess an existing water quality monitoring network with respect to its sampling sites. The method uses dynamic programming to evaluate the reduction of the number of sampling sites in a basin with respect to different monitoring objectives. The methodology is demonstrated in the case of the Gediz River basin in w...

Chattahoochee-apalachicola Rivers Water Quality Sampling a Lagrangian Sampling Project

The field work portion of this project began September 22, 2012, with an expected completion date of November 10, 2012. The field work will involve traveling by canoe down the entire Chattahoochee-Apalachicola River system from the source spring near Chattahoochee Gap to the Gulf of Mexico, collecting water quality data, documenting illegal incursions into the river channel, and gathering such ...

use of multiple attributes decision-making technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (topsis) for ghare-gheshlagh calcite in determination of optimum geochemical sampling sites

introduction several valuable calcite deposits are located in ghare-gheshlagh, south basin of urmia lake, nw iran. ghare-gheshlagh area is situated in the northern part of tectono-sedimentary unit, forming nw part of tertiary sanandaj-sirjan geological belt (stocklin and nabavi, 1972). the predominant rock types of the area include light color limestones (qom formation) and quaternary alluviums...
