Intensive swine farming causes strong local environmental impacts by generating effluents rich in solids, organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and pathogenic bacteria. Insufficient treatment of hog farm has been reported for common technologies, vermifiltration is considered a promising alternative that, however, requires additional processes to remove nitrate phosphorus. This work aimed study...

The increase in population resulted an the consumption of water. present work investigates performance a recycling solar- powered greywater treatment system for purposes irrigation, used to reduce amount waste grey water and electricity costs constructing large scale plants. consumes about 3814W per hour provides 1.4 m3 day. proposed is designed residential, office governmental buildings applic...

The submerged–flow (SF) wetland concept offers high organics and solids removal at relatively low cost for construction, operation, and maintenance. In this comparative study, vegetated and non–vegetated SF wetlands were investigated for their ability to treat primary lagoon effluent. The experimental design was comprised of three vegetated and three non–vegetated SF wetland beds (3 m Ü 1 m Ü 0...

The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of macrophyte waste stabilization pond system for municipal wastewater collected from Taxila (Pakistan). A model of macrophyte waste stabilization pond system was operated for six trials with each trials comprising different detention times that is 3, 5, 7 and 10 days, respectively. For the treatment, locally available macrophyte (wa...

Understanding the primary effects of anthropogenic activities and natural factors on river water quality is important in the study and efficient management of water resources. In this study, analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Principal component analysis (PCA), Pearson correlations, Multiple regression analysis (MRA) and Redundancy analysis (RDA) were applied as an integrated approach in a GIS envir...

A study was conducted in a sewage system at Kilombero Sugar Company to review its design, configuration, effectiveness and the quality of influent and effluent discharged into the Ruaha river (receiving body). The concern was that, the water in the river, after effluent has joined the river, is used as drinking water by villages located downstream of the river. Strategic sampling at the inlet o...

Climate change may affect the ability of soil-based onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) to treat wastewater in coastal regions of the Northeastern United States. Higher temperatures and water tables can affect treatment by reducing the volume of unsaturated soil and oxygen available for treatment, which may result in greater transport of pathogens, nutrients, and biochemical oxygen deman...
