This research documents two innovative designs of septic tanks used for onsite wastewater treatment. The were implemented and tested as part a project focused on decentralized treatment solutions. modified at different hydraulic loading rates sufficient periods to effectively evaluate their performance. systems designed with successive anaerobic aerobic chambers differentiated between attached suspended growth. operated detention times 4.3, 3.2, 2.6 days. High removal organic load was...
This paper presents an investigation of the role climatic variability on interannual groundwater and streamflow in southeast United States. For this purpose, associated levels are analyzed for 20 basins that minimally affected by reservoirs pumping. Using spatially averaged monthly precipitation time series obtained from Precipitation-elevation Regressions Independent Slopes Model (PRISM), identifies recharge discharge periods influence during winter [January, February, March (JFM)] summer...
Treated wastewater is an important component of the water resource in Jordan. As Samra treatment plant—the largest plant Jordan—discharges ~110 MCM per year secondary treated municipal to Zarqa River, and eventually Jordan Valley. This research aims at assessing impact reuse on hydrology environment most vulnerable areas within Amman-Zarqa Basin, specifically from Jerash Bridge. Historical data collected, field survey performed, chemical biological analyses are performed eleven selected...
The main objective of this paper is to utilize a multi-criteria analysis (MCA) evaluate Waste-to-Energy (WTE) technologies and identify constraints when examining the placement WTE facility. From this, focus best summarized by determining optimal technology in developed countries how process would change if implemented developing nations. In study, incineration, gasification, pyrolysis were reviewed evaluated. MCA evaluated different based on variety criteria considering environmental,...
Recent studies have found a significant association between climatic variability and basin hydroclimatology, particularly groundwater levels, over the southeast United States. The research reported in this paper evaluates potential developing 6-month-ahead groundwater-level forecasts based on precipitation from ECHAM 4.5 General Circulation Model Forced with Sea Surface Temperature forecasts. Ten wells nine streamgauges USGS Groundwater Climate Response Network Hydro-Climatic Data were...
The nine different technologies are constructed at the pilot scale in one experimental site Al-Balqa Applied University and use same wastewater characteristics as inlet. Monthly samples were collected from inlet outlet of decentralized treatment for three years (June 2016-June 2019). analyzed physical, chemical, biological parameters including TSS, Turbidity, pH, COD, DO, NH4, NO3, TN, BOD, E. coli. Removal efficiencies obtained TSS to be above 95%. NH4 removal vary found range 27 76% while...
Yarmouk Basin is a transboundary basin shared between Jordan and Syria.Only 1,426 km 2 of the total area (7,242 ) lie within borders Jordan.The study characterized by altitudes varying from more than 1,150 m in south to about 200 below sea level northwest.The contamination groundwater potassium upper aquifer prevailing west part Basin.The concentration ranges 0-163 mg/l with an average 7 mg/L.This aims evaluate concentrations this predict future potential ion find whether these agree safe...
A study of dewatering the fractured-bedrock aquifer in a localized area east-central North Carolina was conducted from March 2008 through February 2009 to gain an understanding why some privately owned wells and monitoring were intermittently dry. Although itself nature, resulting water-resources data information produced will help enable resource managers make sound water-supply water-use decisions similar crystalline-rock setting parts Piedmont Blue Ridge Physiographic Provinces. In June...
Based on the land use data observed over Tailan River Basin (TRB) during years 1990, 2000, 2005 and 2008, fractal theory is adopted applied to expound spatial distribution characteristics variation law of change in arid inland TRB, Xinjiang, China. The results demonstrate all types. analysis indicate that dimensions different types TRB are order waters > industrial, mining residential areas farmlands grasslands unused lands woodlands >unused 2005, 2008. dimension values 2008 calculated...
This research focuses in understanding the interaction between climate, groundwater and surface water over Southeastern US. For this purpose, we consider observed streamflow, precipitation, temperature levels from twenty basins USGS climate-groundwater network. Seasonality analyses on four variables indicate both high low periods of activity for each variable. Singular spectrum all that is most dominant component explaining first component. Relating eigen values with drainage area show large...
