Integrated Water Meter Management
Water meters are the cornerstone of commercial systems for water utilities throughout the world; revenue is directly derived from the, figures provided by meters. Despite this, little attention...
Fate of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products Through Municipal Wastewater Treatment Processes
Municipal wastewater treatment facilities were not specifically designed to remove xenobiotics such as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs...
Metals Removal Technologies for Urban Stormwater
This study, on innovative methods for the capture of metals from stormwater, mainly focused on two major areas of investigation: media filters and swales.
Twelve media were chosen for...
Comparative Evaluation of Sludge Reduction Routes
This project aims at the evaluation of eight various routes that potentially may allow wastewater treatment plants to produce less sludge (from 5% to 100%).
It has been possible to define...
Emergency Response and Recovery Planning for Water Systems
Government agencies and water utilities have mechanisms in place for managing a range of emergencies and disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, disease epidemics, and...
Infiltration vs. Surface Water Discharge: Development of Guidance for Stormwater Managers
Stormwater managers are increasingly faced with the need to address many potentially-conflicting issues as part of their activities, ranging from flood prevention to protection of downstream...
Determine the Effect of Individual Wastewater Characteristics and Variances on Primary Clarifier Performance
The Water Environment Research Foundation sponsored a one-year study quantifying the effect of certain wastewater characteristics and their variability on the performance of primary clarifiers. ...
Membrane Bioreactors for Anaerobic Treatment of Wastewaters (Phase II)
Anaerobic biological treatment systems can offer a number of advantages over their aerobic counterparts. The operational costs associated with anaerobic systems are typically lower than with...
Feasibility, Design Criteria, and O&M Requirements for Small Scale Constructed Wetland Wastewater Treatment Systems
The expanding use of decentralized wastewater management has resulted in an increased interest in small-scale wetland treatment systems. However, there is limited information available on the use...
Strategic Planning of Sustainable Urban Water Management
