The development of a protocol to manage the potential of groundwater contamination from on-site sanitation.
The provision of water supply and sanitation services to the developing and water scarce areas of South Africa is one of the goals of the Reconstruction and Development Programme. One of the principles of the South African National Sanitation Policy stipulates that sanitation systems which have unacceptable impacts on the environment cannot be considered to be an adequate form of sanitation. Th...
متن کاملRemoval of copper ions from contaminated groundwater using waste foundry sand as permeable reactive barrier
Computer solutions Multiphysics 3.5a software was used for simulating the two-dimensional copper migration including sorption process through the saturated zone of the soil in the presence of permeable reactive barrier for equilibrium condition. The 1:3 mixture of waste foundry sand and Kerbala’s sand was used as filling material for this barrier. The waste foundry sand was represented the reac...
متن کاملGroundwater Modeling of a Permeable Reactive Barrier to Enhance System Performance
Experience has shown that one of the most common reasons permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) fail to meet performance criteria is inadequate understanding of the groundwater flow system. For example, contaminated water may flow around the ends of the barrier or funnelling slurry walls, under the barrier walls, or through the slurry walls. An analysis of the groundwater flow regime resulting from...
متن کاملWhat should be done to mitigate groundwater contamination?
Groundwater contamination is a serious problem that is growing in the United States, but its true extent is not known and it is difficult to determine because of the complexities of contaminants, their transformation, and fate in groundwater systems. It is also difficult to predict their movement in groundwater. Since we know that the problem is serious and that our needs for groundwater will g...
متن کاملFungal permeable reactive barrier to remediate groundwater in an artificial aquifer.
Biobarriers, as permeable reactive barriers (PRBs), are a common technology that mainly uses bacteria to remediate groundwater in polluted aquifers. In this study, we propose to use Trametes versicolor, a white-rot fungus, as the reactive element because of its capacity to degrade a wide variety of highly recalcitrant and xenobiotic compounds. A laboratory-scale artificial aquifer was construct...
