The Cumulative Frequency Diagram Method for Determining Water Quality Attainment
In accordance with the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement, the Chesapeake Bay Program has recently imple mented important modifications to (1) ambient water quality criteria for living resources and, (2) the procedures to determine attainment of those criteria. A novel statistical tool for attainment, termed the Cumulative Frequency Diagram (CFD) approach, was developed as a substantial revision of prev...
متن کاملInvestigation on the Capability of the Win Area Device in Automatic Granulation of Desert Pavement
Introduction: Pediments are vitally important geomorphological units. Desert pavement feature is used for their classification. The characteristics of desert pavements are a function of geomorphological conditions and have unique properties in terms of different granulation parameters. A variety of methods are employed to determine granulation. The most common method is the sieving test, in whi...
متن کاملThe Zoning of Groundwater Quality for Drinking Purpose Using Scholler Model and Geographic Information System (GIS)
Abstract Introduction: Determining the quality of water is particularly important in water resources management, and monitoring and zoning it are considered as a significant principle to be taken into account in planning. Schuller method is the commonest way to determine the quality of water. The present study was conducted in order to determine the quality of drinking water using Schuller mod...
متن کاملAssessing environmental impacts on stream water quality: deforestation in mid-Wales
A method for examining the impacts of disturbance on stream water quality based on paired catchment “control” and “response” water quality time series is described in relation to diagrams of cumulative flux and cumulative flux difference. The paper describes the equations used and illustrates the patterns expected for idealised flux changes followed by an application to stream water quality dat...
متن کاملA Rigorous Calculation Method for Determining Potential-pH Diagrams Part I: Copper in Aqueous Solutions of Various Complexing Agents
The main aim of this research is to determine optimal leaching conditions; Eh, pH and complexing agent concentrations, for recovery of Copper from hydroxide sludges such as those produced by electroplating shops, metal finishers, treatment of acid mine drainage, and industrial wastewater in general. This has been preceded by a theoretical approach and numerical and computer calculation. Pot...
