Book Methodology for Design of Fine Grained Dredged Material Containment Areas for Solids Retention

Download or read book Methodology for Design of Fine Grained Dredged Material Containment Areas for Solids Retention written by Raymond L. Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literature review revealed gaps in research concerning the use of existing procedures for designing containment areas for fine-grained dredged material to meet standards for effluent suspended solids levels. The literature review did provide the basis for developing laboratory and field investigations and for evaluating results. Four active dredging projects were used as sites to obtain samples of channel sediments and dredged material for laboratory tests, determine suspended solids levels of dredge discharges and containment area effluents, and to develop profiles of suspended solids versus depth for the containment areas. Dye tracer studies were used to investigate the short-circuiting and mixing properties of containment areas. It was found that grab samples taken from channel bottom sediments are adequate for performing sediment characterization and settling tests. Sediment organic contents were generally less than 10 percent for all the sites except one. In general the organics were considered to be too low to be a significant factor in evaluating the settling properties of the dredged material.

Book Restoration and Management of Lakes and Reservoirs Second Edition

Download or read book Restoration and Management of Lakes and Reservoirs Second Edition written by G. Dennis Cooke and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-05-27 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restoration and Management of Lakes and Reservoirs, Second Edition, provides comprehensive coverage of the most important chemical, physical, and biological processes that relate to the eutrophication of lakes and reservoirs and its control. Detailed discussions of the techniques used to manage eutrophication of standing water bodies, procedures for using these techniques, principles involved, and successes and failures are featured through a selection of case studies and cost analyses. The book will appeal to environmental engineers, consultants, regulatory personnel, limnologists, aquatic biologists, hydrologists, and water quality specialists.

Book Lake and Reservoir Restoration

Download or read book Lake and Reservoir Restoration written by G. Dennis Cooke and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake and Reservoir Restoration deals with the eutrophication process and the methods to protect, restore, and manage lakes and reservoirs. The most common in-lake techniques or procedures, plus nutrient diversion, are reviewed with regard to their scientific basis, methods of application, known effectiveness, feasibility, drawbacks, and costs. Areas for further research and development are also highlighted. This book is comprised of 16 chapters organized into four sections. After an introduction to the theory of the problem and the restoration technique, the discussion turns to the various restoration methods such as those used for physical and chemical control of nutrients. Diversion and advanced waste treatment, hypolimnetic withdrawal, and dilution and flushing are considered along with phosphorus precipitation and inactivation, sediment oxidation, sediment removal, and hypolimnetic aeration. Case studies and success stories are presented and the costs and potential negative impacts of the methods are examined. The following chapters focus on methods to control plant biomass, including artificial circulation, water-level drawdown, harvesting, biological control, and surface and sediment covers. A chapter on liming acidified lakes concludes this text. This monograph will be useful to professional limnologists and engineers, on-site lake or reservoir managers, and those who are interested in learning about the problems and management of lakes and reservoirs.
