Catchment Characterisation and Source Water Quality
ion well The potential for pathogens from human and animal wastes that are present in the vicinity of wells to contaminate drinking water need special attention. The well construction itself may promote faecal contamination of the aquifer. As the well punctures all layers in the soil above the aquifer, animal droppings or human wastes that are deposited close to the well may travel with percola...
متن کاملSiting analyses for water quality sampling in a catchment.
Pollution loads discharged from upstream development or human activities significantly degrade the water quality of a reservoir. The design of an appropriate water quality sampling network is therefore important for detecting potential pollution events and monitoring pollution trends. However, under a limited budgetary constraint, how to site an appropriate number of sampling stations is a chal...
متن کاملA method to assess instream water quality – the role of nitrogen entries in a North German rural lowland catchment
The objective of this study was the detection and assessment of nutrient entry pathways in a complex mesoscale lowland catchment. The central aim was the development of a transferable method for an efficient estimation of instream water quality in rural environments. The investigated Kielstau catchment with a size of approximately 50 km2 is located in the North German lowlands. Land use is domi...
متن کاملWater quality risks of 'improved' water sources: evidence from Cambodia.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the quality of on-plot piped water and rainwater at the point of consumption in an area with rapidly expanding coverage of 'improved' water sources. METHODS Cross-sectional study of 914 peri-urban households in Kandal Province, Cambodia, between July-August 2011. We collected data from all households on water management, drinking water...
متن کاملOptimal calibration method for water distribution water quality model.
A water quality model is to predict water quality transport and fate throughout a water distribution system. The model is not only a promising alternative for analyzing disinfectant residuals in a cost-effective manner, but also a means of providing enormous engineering insights into the characteristics of water quality variation and constituent reactions. However, a water quality model is a re...
