evaluation and modeling of the wastewater treatment plants (wwtp) have to be based on thefact that the pollutant concentrations and flow rates change constantly. in addition, different approaches mustused due to there are different processes in a wwtp. a mexican petrochemical complex has a wwtp thatprocesses wastewaters from several petrochemical plants, where the flow rates and pollutant conce...

High photosynthetic benthic primary production (P) represents a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reef systems. However, benthic P budgets of specific ecosystem compartments such as macrophyte-dominated reef lagoons are still scarce. To address this, we quantified individual and lagoon-wide net (Pn) and gross (Pg) primary production by all dominant functional groups of benthic pr...

Email: [email protected] Abstract: To evaluate the diurnal and seasonal Dissolved Oxygen (DO) variations and their effects on water quality, a comprehensive study was conducted in a eutrophic polymictic reservoir under artificially aerated and non-aerated conditions. The effect of aeration among sampling locations and along the water column of DO and DO saturation and diurnal variation...

Aerated lightweight concrete have many advantages when compared with conventional concrete such as advanced strength to weight ratio, lower coefficient of thermal expansion, and good sound insulation as a result of air voids within aerated concrete. This paper is attention to classified of aerated lightweight concrete into foamed concrete and autoclaved concrete. Also, it is exhibits the raw ma...

The uptake of Na(+) and K(+) by barley seedlings grown on aerated or non-aerated solutions was studied. Plants growing in culture solution took up K(+) with high selectivity whether the solution was aerated or not. Roots of plants grown on aerated CaSO(4) and transferred to a solution of KCl and NaCl had a lower preference for K(+) than roots of plants grown on non-aerated CaSO(4). Both kinds o...

Ammonia-nitrogen #ux (NH -N"(14/17)NH ) was determined from six anaerobic swine waste storage and treatment lagoons (primary, secondary, and tertiary) using the dynamic chamber system. Measurements occurred during the fall of 1998 through the early spring of 1999, and each lagoon was examined for approximately one week. Analysis of #ux variation was made with respect to lagoon surface water tem...

in less than 150 words) Negombo Lagoon is one of the most productive and sensitive ecosystems in Sri Lanka. The main fresh water input comes to this lagoon from the rivers Dandugam Oya and Ja-ela. The Negombo Lagoon and its coastal environment have had a long association with the fishery industry. The salinity of Negombo Lagoon is strongly related to the monsoon rains and varies from almost zer...

Assessment of socio-economic issues of fishing community is an important aspect in framing a strategy for the preservation of eco-systems which leads to sustainable lagoon management. The present investigation analyses the current potential socio-economic status of the fishing community of Pulicat lagoon, the second largest lagoon in India. The socio-economic indicators considered in the study ...
