Book Water Security in the Village of Red Hook New York

Download or read book Water Security in the Village of Red Hook New York written by Kyle Abraham Feldman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhabitants and businesses within The Village of Red Hook, located in Dutchess County, NY, utilize private septic systems for wastewater treatment-which are known to return 70% of the water used into the watershed, by discharging septic system effluent into nearby groundwater. The Village of Red Hook's source of drinking water is from a subsurface aquifer, which is located beneath the Village, and the large concentrations of local septic systems have the potential to adversely influence the quality of nearby groundwater and surface water. Thus, the purpose of this project was to monitor and sample from two surface water sites and six groundwater wells in Red Hook, during ten dates- from September through November of 2016-to analyze the water quality characteristics for: (1) Potential indicators of wastewater contamination; and, (2) Indications of connectivity between groundwater wells and surface water sites. Samples were analyzed for: pH, salinity; turbidity; conductivity; optical brighteners; total coliform bacteria; E. Coli; and, Enterococcus. The northernmost well had the highest quantity of wastewater contaminates-bacteria, turbidity and optical brighteners. The eastern well had higher levels of turbidity and optical brighteners but no bacterial presence. The southern well was the only groundwater well which was within the EPA drinking water standard. Both surface water sites had bacterial levels above the EPA recreational water standard. The low moisture conditions resulted in no notable connectivity between the groundwater wells. Some level of significant interaction and connectivity was supported between the northernmost groundwater well and northernmost Saw Kill surface site.

Book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Book Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Download or read book Municipal Wastewater Treatment written by Andrew Stoddard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-03-20 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough analysis of public policy and the Clean Water Act'seffect on water quality in the U.S. Using water quality data and historical records from the past 60years, this book presents the measured impact of the 1972 CleanWater Act on domestic waterways-ecologically, politically, andeconomically. Municipal Wastewater Treatment supports thehypothesis that the Act's regulation of wastewater treatmentprocesses at publicly owned treatment works (POTW) and industrialfacilities has achieved significant success. The authors' case ispresented in: * Background information on the history of water pollution controland water quality management * Chapters addressing long-term trends in biochemical oxygen demandloadings from municipal wastewater plants and the "worst-case"dissolved oxygen levels in waterways downstream of point sourcesbefore and after the Clean Water Act * Nine case study assessments of long-term trends of pollutantloading water quality and environmental resources associated withPOTW discharges Using long-term trends in dissolved oxygen as the key indicator ofwater quality improvements, this book provides a detailedretrospective analysis of the effectiveness of the water pollutioncontrol policies and regulations of the 1972 Clean Water Act. Thesuccesses of the Act that have been achieved over the past 30 yearsare placed in the historical context of the "Great SanitaryAwakening" of the 19th century and changes in public policies forwater supply and water pollution control that have evolved duringthe 20th century to protect public health and the intrinsic valueof aquatic resources. Case study sites include the ConnecticutRiver, Hudson-Raritan Estuary, Delaware Estuary, Potomac Estuary,Upper Chattahoochee River, Ohio River, Upper Mississippi River, andWillamette River. Complete with end-of-chapter summaries and conclusions, MunicipalWastewater Treatment: Evaluating Improvements in National WaterQuality is an essential book for engineers, scientists, regulators,and consultants involved in water quality management and wastewatertreatment, as well as students of environmental engineering,environmental science, and public policy.
