Multiple Stressors: Literature Review and Gap Analysis
There is a pressing need for developing and testing a general set of theories in order to provide a confident basis for prediction of multiple stressor effects. Confident prediction is central to...
Assessing Bioavailability of Metals in Biosolids-Treated Soils
Plant-availability of metals in biosolids-treated soils may be mathematically described by Mt = C x [1 - e- (k x t)] where Mt (mg kg-1) is the...
Sensor Technology for Water Quality Monitoring
The main objective of this project is to demonstrate that the technology of on line monitoring of waterborne metals by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) at part per billion (ppb) and sub-ppb levels, which...
Water Auditing and Water Conservation
Water auditing is a method of quantifying water flows and quality in simple or complex systems, with a view to reducing water usage and often saving money on otherwise unnecessary water use. There...
Visual Hydrology
One approach to the introduction of computational material to the classroom is to supplement a textbook with modern computer codes. Unfortunately most codes are expensive, designed for commercial...
Chemical Occurrence Data Sets for Source Water Assessments
This research project aims to identify, list, and characterize chemical occurrence databases and data sets that can be used by states and utilities to perform source water assessments. The data...
Navigating the TMDL Process
Narrative water quality criteria are an integral component of States water quality standards but they pose special problems when incorporated into the TMDL process. The TMDL process is typically a...
Environmental Information in European Transboundary Water Management
Environmental Information in European Transboundary Water Management aims to examine the role of information in transboundary river basin and water management, and the way it is...
Navigating the TMDL Process
TMDLs, or total maximum daily loads, are required under the Clean Water Act, Section 303(d), for waterbodies that do not attain water quality standards. The objective of this research was to...
Water in China
Rapid growth of cities and industries in China is having a dramatic impact on the environment. To counteract further decrease of water quality of rivers, lakes and groundwater bodies, an...
