A quantitative comparative study was performed to assess the relative applicability of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) models published in the last decade for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Landsat-based sensors. The quantitative comparison was performed using a suite of statistical tests and HydroLight simulated data for waters ranging from clear open ocean case-1 t...

Contamination of unfenced streams with P, sediments, and pathogenic bacteria from cattle (Bos taurus) activity may be affected by the availability of shade and alternative water sources. The objectives of this study were to evaluate water quality in two streams draining tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)-common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) pastures with different shade distribution...

Environmental Changes in a round of reservoir have dramatic influences on the sedimentation and deterioration water quality. A significant land-use change Cibalagung sub-watershed has impact quality Cirata reservoir. In this study, we used remote sensing GIS to investigate influence changes sub-watershed, 2004–2014. The total suspended solids (TSS), as main parameter quality, was determined by ...

A new hybrid membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) technology that enables energy-neutral treatment of municipal wastewater is introduced. The process, which removes nitrogen using conventional nitrificationdenitrification, was demonstrated at pilot-scale, treating primary effluent. The new MABR membrane product can operate in a high mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) environment, making it...

This study uses an empirical model, based on actual water quality of total suspended solids (TSS) measurements from the Penang Strait, Malaysia to predict TSS based on optical properties of satellite digital imagery. The study area is Penang Island, Malaysia which is situated within latitudes 5 12’ N to 5 30’ N and longitudes 100 09’ E to 100 26’ E. The proposed algorithm is based on the reflec...

Globally, wastewater treatment plants are under pressure to handle high concentration sludge in a sludge treatment line. Unawareness of the non-Newtonian behaviour of the thickened sludge has the potential to cause unexpected problems when the fluid behaviour changes from turbulent to laminar flow. In this study, sludge apparent viscosity was plotted as a function of total suspended solids conc...

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance spline interpolation method in predicting and mapping concentration Total Suspended Solids (TSS) surface water Pulau Tuba, Kedah. Thirty sampling points were set up geolocated using Geographic Positioning System (GPS). Gravimetric analyses used determine TSS level. Fifty percent total randomly chosen for developing spatial models...

The study analyses the efficiency of a Sequentional Sedimentation-Biofiltration System (SSBS) built on the Sokolowka river in Lodz (Poland). It was constructed to purify a small urban river whose hydrological regime is dominated by stormwater and meltwater. The SSBS was constructed on a limited area as multi-zone constructed wetlands. The SSBS consists of three zones: sedimentation zone with st...

in the present study, the treatment of tannery wastewater was performed by electrocoagulationmethod (ec) using aluminium and steel electrodes. response surface methodology (rsm) with three factors; current density (i), electrolysis time (t) and ph, with each factor at five levels, was used to optimize the factors for higher chemical oxygen demand (cod) and total suspended solids (tss) removal. ...
