State Of Knowledge In Land Treatment Of Wastewater

The objectives of this international symposium were to summarize the state of knowledge of the practical aspects of the treatment of wastewater by land application and to identify the suitable approaches for the design of such land treatment systems. Topics included in the proceedings volumes are: site selection considerations, case studies of national and international concern, health effects of land treatment systems, pretreatment considerations, uses of wastewater in agricultural and forest systems, monitoring, modeling and design criteria. volume 1 contains 46 invited papers (presented and discussed) and Volume 2 contains 53 papers (not presented) on ongoing research.

The Volume As Well As Strength Of Waste Water Generated From Different Sectors Has Increased Due To Rapid Industrialisation, Urbanisation And Population Growth. Ensuring The Basic Standard And Quality Of The Receiving Waters Has Therefore Become Extremely Crucial. Land Treatment Of Waste Water Provides An Economically Viable And Technically Feasible Method Of Achieving This.This Book Presents A Systematic Exposition Of The Various Aspects Of Land Treatment To Fulfil The Needs Of Professional Environmental Engineers.The Different Techniques Of Applying Waste Water And Mechanism For Removal Of Bod, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Micro-Organisms And Other Pollutants Have Been Discussed. The Design Principles For Slow Rate (Sr), Rapid Infiltration (Ri) And Overland Flow (Of) Systems Have Been Explained With Suitable Illustrations. The Possible Hazards Associated With Land Treatment And Effects Of Long Term Application Of Wastes On Soil Matrix Have Been Highlighted. Irrigability Index Has Been Developed To Assess The Quality Of Waste Water And Soil System Numerically, As Well As The Treatment Site By 5 X 5 Soil Sewage Interaction Matrix.Both Practising Environmental Engineers And Civil Engineering Students Would Find This Book To Be An Excellent Reference Source.

"Briefly, the position papers discuss institutional constraints, hydrologic and nutrient management, pathogens, metals, organics, engineering and economics, and an overview of public health effects" Pref.
