The cumulative effect of wetland degradation on water quality at a landscape scale.
Wetlands have been described as one of the most globally threatened and important ecosystems, with most wetlands providing a variety of important ecosystem services, including water quality enhancement. Despite their importance the loss of wetlands is more rapid than that of any other ecosystem, which is of particular concern in South Africa, where many communities are directly and indirectly dependent on wetlands for survival. Two useful wetland assessment tools are currently used in South Africa, but a system that assesses the extent to which wetland ecosystem services (water quality enhancement in particular) are lost as a result of wetland degradation in a landscape context does not currently exist. This study therefore aims to develop a method to determine the cumulative effect of wetland degradation on water quality, which involves the exploration and integration of a number of issues, including land-cover and its effects on water quality, wetland health and its influence on the ...

The change of nonpoint source and freshwater discharge as a result of land use change might affect the water quality in a river. In the current study, a coupled three-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model was created and applied to the Danshuei River estuarine system and its adjacent coastal ocean. The hydrodynamic and water quality models were validated using observations of water surface elevation, salinity distribution and water quality state variables. The predictions of hydrodynamics, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients from the model simulation quantitatively agreed with the observational data. The validated model was then used to investigate the possible effects of the nonpoint source and freshwater discharge changes at the upstream reaches on water quality conditions in the Danshuei River estuarine system. Three scenarios were investigated to predict the dissolved oxygen using model simulations. The simulated results indicated that increasing nonpoint sources at the upstream

Different multivariate statistical techniques were used to evaluate temporal and spatial variations of surface water-quality of Fuji river basin using data sets of 8 years monitoring at 13 different sites. The hierarchical cluster analysis grouped thirteen sampling sites into three clusters i.e. relatively less polluted (LP), medium polluted (MP) and highly polluted (HP) sites based on the similarity of water quality characteristics. The principal component analysis/factor analysis indicated that the parameters responsible for water quality variations are mainly related to discharge and temperature (natural), organic pollution (point sources) in LP areas; organic pollution (point sources) and nutrients (non point sources) in MP areas; and organic pollution and nutrients (point sources) in HP areas. The discriminant analysis showed that six water quality parameters (discharge, temperature, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, electrical conductivity and nitrate nitrogen) account for most ...

Changing water quality was prevalent in the current water supply. The fluctuation of iron stability due to changing water quality followed four characteristics: objectivity, relativity, predictability, and controllability. Therefore, it was necessary to study the stability of iron in the pipe network by integrating different water quality factors. The iron stability risk evaluation system was established according to the different water quality factors in the drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs). Meanwhile, an improved fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was established to evaluate the risk of iron. Chloride, sulfate, dissolved organic matter (DOM) and pH were selected as the risk assessment index. The divisions of different evaluation levels were carried out through the values of water quality factor. On the basis of expert scoring, the weight and membership degree of water quality factors were analyzed by structural entropy method. In addition, risk analysis was established by using the

Effective Use of Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage in Response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake | The American Journal of...Effective Use of Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage in Response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake | The American Journal of...
Abstract. When water supplies are compromised during an emergency, responders often recommend household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS) methods, such as boiling or chlorination. We evaluated the near- and longer-term impact of chlorine and filter products distributed shortly after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. HWTS products were deemed as effective to use if they actually improved unsafe household drinking water to internationally accepted microbiological water quality standards. The acute emergency survey (442 households) was conducted within 8 weeks of emergency onset; the recovery survey (218 households) was conducted 10 months after onset. Effective use varied by HWTS product (from 8% to 63% of recipients in the acute phase and from 0% to 46% of recipients in the recovery phase). Higher rates of effective use were associated with programs that were underway in Haiti before the emergency, had a plan at initial distribution for program continuation, and distributed products with community

Water quality | Environmental Health Atlas
Good water quality is important for the people and nature. We use surface water to produce drinking water, to fish in and for leisure pursuits. Much of Dutch nature is dependent on water from lakes, ponds, streams and rivers.. Pollution by industry and households has significantly reduced since the nineteen seventies because the government started to impose rules on the discharging of water. Since then, although the physical and chemical water quality has improved significantly, work still needs to be done on the ecological water quality. One of the reasons for this is that it always takes a while before the ecology responds to improved water quality.. At this moment in time the most important causes of insufficient water quality are:. ...

Nitrate-N concentrations and their impact on water quality throughout Gallatin ValleyNitrate-N concentrations and their impact on water quality throughout Gallatin Valley
Water is a critical resource for all life. With roughly 3% of the water on earth being fresh water, and of that percentage about 1 % being available to humans, it is clear to see the importance of protecting the water that is available to us. Globally, factors such as climate change, population growth, increasing industrialization and loss of natural resources are all aiding in the reduction of fresh water quality and quantity. This paper addresses local water quality issues, in hopes of gaining a better understanding of issues seen locally, which also occur in many other locations worldwide. Gallatin Valley located in Gallatin County, Montana is the selected study area for this research. The study area has a diverse landscape, which allowed for a unique study, examining many anthropogenic and natural sources of nitrate-N. These sources and the nitrate-N levels associated with them were the main focus for this research. Using well water quality tests from various organizations, data was managed ...

A combined suspended particle and phosphorus water quality model: Application to Lake VänernA combined suspended particle and phosphorus water quality model: Application to Lake Vänern
This work is about finding an appropriate modelling complexity for a mass-balance model for phosphorus in Lake Vänern, Sweden. A statistical analysis of 30 years of water quality data shows that epilimnion and hypolimnion have different water quality and should be treated separately in a model. Further vertical division is not motivated. Horizontally, the lake should be divided into the two main basins Värmlandssjön and Dalbosjön. Shallow near shore ares, bays and areas close to point sources have to be considered as specific sub-basins if they are to be modelled correctly.. These results leads to the use of a model based on ordinary differential equations. The model applied is named LEEDS (Lake Eutrophication Effect Dose Sensitivity) and considers phosphorus and suspended particles. Several modifications were made for the application of the model to Lake Vänern. The two major ones are a revision of the equations governing the outflow of phosphorus and suspended particle through the outflow ...

FS-027-01--A Primer on Water QualityFS-027-01--A Primer on Water Quality
Urban and industrial development, farming, mining, combustion of fossil fuels, stream-channel alteration, animal-feeding operations, and other human activities can change the quality of natural waters. As an example of the effects of human activities on water quality, consider nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers that are applied to crops and lawns. These plant nutrients can be dissolved easily in rainwater or snowmelt runoff. Excess nutrients carried to streams and lakes encourage abundant growth of algae, which leads to low oxygen in the water and the possibility of fish kills. Chemicals such as pharmaceutical drugs, dry-cleaning solvents, and gasoline that are used in urban and industrial activities have been found in streams and ground water. After decades of use, pesticides are now widespread in streams and ground water, though they rarely exceed the existing standards and guidelines established to protect human health ...

Are Presence/Absence Microbial Tests Appropriate for Monitoring Large Urban Water Supplies in Sub-Saharan Africa? - AquayaAre Presence/Absence Microbial Tests Appropriate for Monitoring Large Urban Water Supplies in Sub-Saharan Africa? - Aquaya
ABSTARCT Screening for fecal contamination via microbial water quality monitoring is a critical component of safe drinking water provision and public health protection. Achieving adequate levels of microbial water quality testing, however, is a challenge in resource-limited settings. One strategy for addressing this challenge is to improve the efficiency of monitoring programs. In African countries, quantitative microbial testing methods are commonly used to monitor chlorinated piped water systems. However, presence/absence (P/A) tests may provide an appropriate alternative for water supplies that generally show negative fecal contamination results. This study compares 1048 water quality test results for samples collected from five African urban water systems. The operators of the systems conducted parallel tests on the 1048 samples using their standard quantitative methods (e.g., most probable number or membrane filtration) and the Colitag™ method in P/A format. Combined data demonstrates ...

What is a Drainage Utility?
What is a Drainage Utility?. A drainage utility is: a financing mechanism, providing a stable and dedicated funding source for surface water quality and quantity control; and a governmental entity whose mission is to provide surface water quality and quantity control. Drainage utilities have come into being to address largely the flooding and water quality problems associated with urbanization and separated storm sewers. Even when some of the worst impacts are addressed on the site of the development through detention, water treatment, etc., some organization must make it its responsibility to see that these mitigation mechanisms continue to work, receive maintenance and to take care of the residual effects that cannot be addressed completely on site. This paper discusses the Bellevue Storm & Surface Water Utility to illustrate what a drainage utility can provide and why any urbanizing area today should strongly consider the creation of one to control surface water runoff and funding from other than

Smaller-scale water quality assessments covering a wider range of water quality parameters and other indicators related to drinking water services and their impacts are essential to provide a nuanced understanding of the risk factors for contamination for different settings and drinking water services, including those used by vulnerable populations. Three studies demonstrate the challenges of providing high-quality services in rapidly urbanizing sub-Saharan Africa, even for users of piped water systems. Jeandron et al. provide a compelling example of the use of spatial data on tap locations and invoices to predict water quality in household stored water in Ulvira, Democratic Republic of Congo8.

To form a baseline study of a proposed county ditch, nutrient levels (PO4-P, TKN, and NO3-N), conductivity, and turbidity were monitored during 1980 at eight sites along the stream proposed to be channelized. Tributaries from three partly drained wetlands and four drainage ditches were also sampled to compare wetland and ditch outputs and to access their impact on the streams water quality. The predominantly agricultural watershed (4554 acres) of the stream was dissected into the tributary subsheds and the percentages of different land use categories, the numbers of animals, drainage histories, and soil types were compiled for these watersheds and examined for relationships to water quality differences in the tributaries. Significant differences in nutrient concentrations were found among the wetland and drainage ditch outputs ranging from the most distinct wetland (PO4-P, TKN, and NO3-N means of 0.919, 3.42, and 0.24ppm) to the most distinct drainage ditch (PO4-P, TKN, and NO3-N means of ...

Infrastructural problems force South African households to supplement their drinking water consumption from water resources of inadequate microbial quality. Microbial water quality monitoring is currently based on the Colilert®18 system which leads to rapidly available results. Using Escherichia coli as the indicator microorganism limits the influence of environmental sources on the reported results. The current system allows for understanding of long-term trends of microbial surface water quality and the related public health risks. However, rates of false positive for the Colilert®18-derived concentrations have been reported to range from 7.4% to 36.4%. At the same time, rates of false negative results vary from 3.5% to 12.5%; and the Colilert medium has been reported to provide for cultivation of only 56.8% of relevant strains.

The enzymatic approach evaluates the level of contamination by measuring a signal from all target organisms in the sample volume. This approach requires no sample pre-treatment and less sophisticated technology and is therefore more robust than approaches evaluating individual organisms.. The most basic indication of a viable organism is its metabolism, since it reflects the energy that the cell takes from the environment. This metabolism takes place through enzymes.. There is no more basic measure of viability than metabolic activity.. There are enzymes that are specific to certain organisms or groups of organisms. This offers the possibility to specifically measure the metabolic activity of the respective target organisms.. The metric is the enzymatic activity per volume of a specific enzyme. It reflects the energetic turnover of the target organisms per volume or in other words the concentration of living target organisms, which represents the degree of contamination. ...

Water quality is reflective of activities taking place upstream of surface waters. In general, water quality is very high in Glacier National Park as it sits at the headwaters of the North American continent. From Triple Divide Peak water flows north to the Hudson Bay, west to the Pacific Ocean and south to the Gulf of Mexico. Glaciers protected mountain landscapes provide clean cold headwaters to the streams and tributaries further downstream. Park waters are classified A1, the highest standard specified by the state water quality bureau. Preserving and protecting water resources, and the plant and animal communities they support, is fundamental to the National Park Service mission. However, water is vulnerable to impacts from outside, as well as within, the park such as road construction, mining, recreational activities, and deposition from atmospheric pollutants.. For example, pollution carried in by rain, snow and airborne particulates is showing up in glacial lakes. This provides park ...

Cattle exclusion fencing has been recommended as a best management practice for the control of sediment, phosphorus, and nitrogen pollution in agricultural streams for several decades. The effectiveness of this practice for water quality improvement is varied. This review summarizes the findings of seventeen water quality studies where monitoring extended for up to 5 years. In general, cattle exclusion fencing decreased TSS and TP. The effect on dissolved forms of nutrients is more tenuous. Grazing cattle impact streams by damaging stream banks, kicking up streambed sediment, directly defecating into the water, and increasing polluted runoff risk in riparian areas. Improved study design and stream restoration practices may aid in increasing the understanding of the connection between riparian ecosystem recovery and water quality ...

Water is a necessity for life, and clean water is usually a sign of a healthy environment. Human activities can have adverse effects on water quality. For example, the use of fertilizers in agriculture can lead to increased nutrient levels in nearby waters and cause increased eutrophication. Thus, monitoring water quality is an essential part of taking care of the environment.. Water transparency is one commonly used indicator of water quality. It is mentioned as a supporting factor for the biological elements in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (Solimini et al. 2006) and as one of the physicochemical quality elements for the ecological classification of coastal waters in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSD) (Piha and Zampoukas 2011). High transparency values indicate clear water, whereas low transparency values indicate turbid or highly absorbing water, which usually means poor water quality. Water transparency defines how deep sun light will penetrate and hence the depth at which ...

Microbial Communities and the Diverse Ecology of Fecal Indicators at L by Danielle CloutierMicrobial Communities and the Diverse Ecology of Fecal Indicators at L by Danielle Cloutier
Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and enterococci are used to assess microbiological water quality in recreational waters. The use of FIB follows the assumption that their presence correlates with that of fecal-associated pathogens in recreational waters. The beach ecosystem is complex however and multiple factors can influence the concentration of E. coli and enterococci in the beach environment. Microbial communities within beach sand play a key role in nutrient cycling and are important to the nearshore ecosystem function. E. coli and enterococci, two common indicators of fecal pollution, have been shown to persist in the beach sand, but little is known about how microbial community assemblages are related to these fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) reservoirs. The first objective of this project was to harness the power of next-generation sequencing to profile the indigenous communities within beach sand and examine key environmental drivers of community structure.

Drinking water quality in the United States - WikipediaDrinking water quality in the United States - Wikipedia
Drinking water quality in the United States is generally good. In 2016, over 90 percent of the nations community water systems were in compliance with all more-than-90 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. Most of the systems that are out of compliance are small systems in rural areas and small towns, partly because most public water systems are small ones. Drinking water quality in the U.S. is regulated by state and federal laws and codes, which set Maximum Contaminant Levels for some pollutants and naturally occurring constituents, determine various operational requirements, require public notification for violation of standards, provide guidance to state primacy agencies, and require utilities to publish consumer confidence reports. Historically, up through 1914, drinking water quality in the country was managed at the state and local level. After that, interstate waters were protected using United States Public Health Service (USPHS) standards. Ultimately the USPHS standards ...

Determination of Raw Water Quality Parameters and Reasons for Failures in Hantana Sewerage Treatment Plant, Sri LankaDetermination of Raw Water Quality Parameters and Reasons for Failures in Hantana Sewerage Treatment Plant, Sri Lanka
Many health hazards in developing countries and transition-economic countries are related to poor water quality and limited water quantity (Vandeweerd et al., 1997). According to Vandeweerd et al. (1997), more than 90% of sewerage in the developing world is discharged directly into rivers, lakes, and coastal waters without any treatment. Sri Lanka also faces a number of water and wastewater issues and water related health hazards (WHO, 2000). The large cities such as Colombo, Galle, Jaffna and Kandy have serious problems disposal of sewerage, industrial effluents and industrial and of domestic solid waste, as they generate large quantities but have no facilities for their treatment and/or proper disposal (Bandara, 2003). Moreover, Kandy suffers from a serious problem of wastewater disposal which contributes to the pollution of Mahaweli River. There is no proper system of wastewater disposal, and about 80% of used water is released as wastewater (Thrikawala et al., 2008). In addition, highly ...

The Impact Of Wastewater On Water Quality In The Moulouya River, Morocco | Tropical Freshwater BiologyThe Impact Of Wastewater On Water Quality In The Moulouya River, Morocco | Tropical Freshwater Biology
Physico-chemical characterisation of water quality in several urban tributaries discharging into the Moulouya River, Morocco, and at 15 stations on the river itself, was done in 2004. The urban streams had a high organic matter load, marked by high mean values for BOD5 (180 ± 39.32 mg/l), suspended matter (630 ± 79.55mg/l), orthophosphate (3.1 ± 0.46mg/l) and sulphate (408 ± 21.67mg/l), although their average loads of heavy metals (iron, copper and bromide) were very low. The Moulouya River showed a clear deterioration at the confluences of the urban tributaries, with low dissolved oxygen and increased organic load. Self-purification quickly returned these parameters nearly to their natural values some distance below the region of urban disturbance ...

Public health is at risk due to chemical contaminants in drinking water which may have immediate health consequences. Drinking water sources are susceptible to pollutants depending on geological conditions and agricultural, industrial, and other man-made activities. Ensuring the safety of drinking water is, therefore, a growing problem. To assess drinking water quality, we measured multiple chemical parameters in drinking water samples from across Bangladesh with the aim of improving public health interventions. In this cross-sectional study conducted in 24 randomly selected upazilas, arsenic was measured in drinking water in the field using an arsenic testing kit and a sub-sample was validated in the laboratory. Water samples were collected to test water pH in the laboratory as well as a sub-sample of collected drinking water was tested for water pH using a portable pH meter. For laboratory testing of other chemical parameters, iron, manganese, and salinity, drinking water samples were collected from

Delavan Lake: Hydrology, water quality, and biologyDelavan Lake: Hydrology, water quality, and biology
Problem. Eutrophication of Delavan Lake accelerated from the 1940s to 1980s, resulting in a hypereutrophic lake with severe blue-green algae blooms. Extensive rehabilitation efforts were implemented from 1990-1993 to improve the lakes water quality. Monitoring of the lake and nutrient and sediment loads to the lake is continuing to determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts and guide future management decisions.. Objectives. The overall objectives of the project are to: (1) quantify the effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts by measuring nutrient and suspended sediment loads at Jackson Creek at Mound Road (wetland outlet) and Delavan Lake Inlet at Highway 50t, and (2) measure water quality and plankton populations in the lake.. Approach. Nutrients, suspended sediments, and streamflow are monitored at Mound Road, and at Highway 50.

Frack me! UK shale gas bonanza bigger than North Sea oil • The RegisterFrack me! UK shale gas bonanza bigger than North Sea oil • The Register
Analysis The government has given the go-ahead for further exploration of the UKs shale gas reserves. Independent surveys suggest these reserves may yield more energy for the nation than North Sea oil.. The shale gas will be collected using induced hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, which splits rocks thousands of feet below ground using high-pressure liquid.. This is a defeat for environmentalist activists and the powerful renewables lobby - but they have a valuable consolation prize few have noticed. Under the proposed regulatory regime, during the fracking process any tremors that measure 0.5 or higher on the Richter scale may trigger an automatic halt to operations under a traffic light scheme outlined by the Lib Dem energy minister Ed Davey.. What does this mean? Well, tremors below magnitude 3.0 are considered to be barely noticeable, and bear in mind that the Richter scale is logarithmic: the energy released by a tremor of magnitude 0.5 is equivalent to the energy released by a ...

Public schools in most rural areas of South Africa depend on untreated groundwater due to unreliable water supply by the municipalities. This has the potential to cause water-related health problems to school children. Temperature, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) were measured in situ. Chemical (fluoride, chloride, sulphate, phosphate, nitrate, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium) and microbial (Escherichia coliform (E. coli), Salmonella typhimurium, and Shigella flexneri) water quality parameters were analysed in groundwater samples from 10 public schools in Vhuronga 1 to determine suitability for use. Quantitative microbial risk assessment was carried out to determine risks of infection and illness due to consumption of groundwater. Correlation analysis was used to identify potential sources of contamination. All physical and most chemical water quality parameters were within guidelines for domestic water use. A high proportion of schools had high levels of microbial organisms. ...

Dont overlook water qualitys impact on herbicide performanceDont overlook water qualitys impact on herbicide performance
What kinds of problems can poor water quality cause in a herbicide solution? For one, if water contains high levels of acidity and/or dissolved minerals, these may interact with the active and/or additive ingredients in the herbicide formulation. Poor-quality water also can adversely influence the herbicide by reducing the solubility and decreasing absorption by the target plant, resulting in poor performance.. These problems might not always drastically reduce performance, but even a slight drop may be enough to cause significant control issues when treating particularly difficult species, or species that are tolerant to certain herbicides. And if this happens, water quality often is overlooked as the culprit. The immediate suspects are factors such as improper tank-mixing, poor weather conditions at the time of application or perhaps the herbicide used.. Test your water ...

The nature of phosphorus in soils : Nitrogen : University of Minnesota ExtensionThe nature of phosphorus in soils : Nitrogen : University of Minnesota Extension
Phosphorus is a somewhat unique pollutant in that it is an essential element, has low solubility, and is not toxic itself, but may have detrimental effects on water quality at quite low concentrations. Phosphorus is typically the limiting nutrient for algal growth in freshwater ecosystems. The addition of P to freshwater increases algal growth. When algae die and begin to decompose, anoxic conditions are created as O2 is depleted from the water, a process called eutrophication. Because of eutrophication, there is considerable concern about P being lost from soils and transported to nearby streams and lakes. Several chemical properties of soil P have important implications for the potential loss of P to surface water.. Phosphate in soils is associated more with fine particles than coarse particles. When soil erosion occurs, more fine particles are removed than coarse particles, causing sediment leaving the soil through erosion to be enriched in P. When those soil particles are carried to a river ...

TWRI Mills Scholar Tony Rodger finds high flow events critical for lower Brazos fish | Winemiller Aquatic Ecology LabTWRI Mills Scholar Tony Rodger finds high flow events critical for lower Brazos fish | Winemiller Aquatic Ecology Lab
Environmental flows have been a complicated aspect of Texas water management for decades. The state determines the amount and timing of water that must move through rivers to maintain a sound ecological environment, and those requirements are considered environmental flows.. An environmental flow regime tries to balance human needs for freshwater and the conservation of aquatic ecosystems within the state, Rodger said. My research is part of an on-going effort to evaluate these environmental flow regimes to determine if they are fulfilling key ecological functions that maintain the integrity of these systems.. According to Rodger, environmental flow recommendations in the past maintained only certain baseline flows that did not include aspects of discharge variability that typically characterize Texas streams and rivers. In addition to affecting spawning and survival of fish eggs and larvae, environmental flows also influence aspects of water quality, such as dissolved oxygen, pH and ...

Living Lake Macquarie. Working to Revive, Renew and Protect the Ecology of Lake Macquarie
Download Star Series Advert - (561Kb). The concept of improving water quality in Lake Macquarie through increased tidal flushing has been the subject of numerous investigations over the past decade.. This research has identified a number of reasons that make increasing the size of the Channel opening problematic. Increasing the size of the channel opening is not only unlikely to result in significant water quality improvements, but there would also be side effects that would have more serious social and environmental implications than the ones it intended to fix.. Many people believe incorrectly that by increasing the tidal flushing of Lake Macquarie, the issue of poor water quality would be solved automatically. However, because the Lake contains such a huge volume of water, increasing the tidal exchange would have little impact on water quality.. Studies have shown that even if the Lake entrance was increased by 20% the impact on the tidal exchange would only be 0.2%.. However, an increased ...

Managing our water suppliesManaging our water supplies
We have identified potential water quality hazards and the associated level of risk for each of our water supply systems using our water quality risk management framework. Hazards identified during this process are incorporated into our corporate management platform SAAM (Safe, Actioned, Assured, Managed). SAAM is used to capture, assess, prioritise, manage and report water quality hazards and actions. It is also used for planning our water quality improvements (including operational and capital improvements) and identifying changes or improvements in monitoring, procedures, training and quality verification. This risk assessment process is integrated with other business areas of SA Water.. The following table shows the barriers, water quality management objectives and preventative measures from catchment to tap.. ...
