A new ArcGIS-based software of uncertainty analysis for nitrate load estimation.
Domestic waste water treatment using Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (OSTDS) (also known as septic systems) is a source of nitrogen contamination in groundwater and surface water. Estimating nutrient load from septic systems as a storm water source to surface water bodies is important to reduce nutrient load in support of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) programs. Software packages ...
متن کاملArcNLET: A GIS-based software to simulate groundwater nitrate load from septic systems to surface water bodies
Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), or septic systems, can be a significant source of nitrates in groundwater and surface water. The adverse effects that nitrates have on human and environmental health have given rise to the need to estimate the actual or potential level of nitrate contamination. With the goal of reducing data collection and preparation costs, and decreasing the time re...
متن کاملSupport of sustainable management of nitrogen contamination due to septic systems using numerical modeling methods
Nitrogen contamination is a serious concern to sustainable environmental management, and one important source of nitrogen contaminant is due to wastewater treatment using onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems (OSTDS, a.k.a., septic systems). This paper presents a study in which numerical modeling is used to support sustainable decision-making and management of nitrogen contamination by u...
متن کاملApplication of SWAT Model to Simulate Nitrate and Phosphate Leaching from Agricultural Lands to Rivers
In the present study, the amount of nitrate and phosphate leaching from agricultural lands into the Zanjanrood River in Iran was simulated using the Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The measured average monthly discharges at the Sarcham station were used to calibrate and validate the SWAT model, and the SWAT Calibration and Uncertainty Program (SWAT-CUP) model was applied to perform t...
متن کاملSeptic Systems and Nitrate Nitrogen as Indicators of Ground Water Quality Trends in New Jersey
Controlling ground water quality is a major environmental goal for New Jersey citizens. Controlling nitrate nitrogen in ground water is particularly important because of the risk it poses to human health, and because of its ability to enter streams and lakes and to enhance the harmful process of eutrophication. In order to control nitrate levels in ground water and surface water, it is necessar...
