Download or read book Water Pollution XIII written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Pollution XIII is the proceedings of the 13th International Conference in the series of Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Water Pollution. The conference, which has always been very successful, provided a forum for discussion amongst scientists, managers and academics from different areas of water contamination. Their papers, included in this book, provide a wealth of information which will be of great benefit to all those involved with water pollution problems. The environmental problems caused by the increase of pollutant loads discharged into natural water bodies requires the formation of a framework for regulation and control. This framework needs to be based on scientific results that relate pollutant discharge with changes in water quality. The results of these studies allow industry to apply more efficient methods of controlling and treating waste loads, and water authorities to enforce appropriate regulations regarding this matter. Environmental problems are essentially interdisciplinary. Engineers and scientists working in this field must be familiar with a wide range of issues, including the physical processes of mixing and dilution, chemical and biological processes, mathematical modelling, data acquisition and measurement, to name but a few. In view of the scarcity of available data, it is important that experiences are shared on an international basis. Thus, a continuous exchange of information between scientists from different countries is essential. Topics covered include: Monitoring, modelling and forecasting; Freshwater quality; Marine water quality; Groundwater and aquifer issues; Water management; Remediation; Agricultural contamination; Wastewater treatment and management; Offshore pollution and oil spills; Mining and water quality; Soil erosion and water pollution; Emerging technologies; Health risk studies; Micropollution and nanoparticles; Microbiological aspects; Risk assessments; Socio-economic-political consequences; Education and training; Population and climate change; Future trends in water pollution; Emerging approaches for water waste management.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring lake quality remotely offers an economically feasible approach as opposed to in-situ field data collection. Researchers have demonstrated that lake clarity can be successfully monitored through the analysis of remote sensing. Evaluating satellite imagery, as a means of water quality detection, offers a practical way to assess lake clarity across large areas, enabling researchers to conduct comparisons on a large spatial scale. Landsat data offers free access to frequent and recurring satellite images. This allows researchers the ability to make temporal comparisons regarding lake water quality. Lake water quality is related to turbidity which is associated with clarity. Lake clarity is a strong indicator of lake health and overall water quality. The possibility of detecting and monitoring lake clarity using Landsat8 mean brightness values is discussed in this report. Lake clarity is analyzed in three different reservoirs for this study; Brookeville, Geist, and Eagle Creek. In-situ measurements obtained from Brookeville Reservoir were used to calibrate reflectance from Landsat 8's Operational Land Imager (OLI) satellite. Results indicated a correlation between turbidity and brightness values, which are highly correlated in algal dominated lakes.
Download or read book Spatiotemporal Analysis of Lake Water Quality Indicators on Small Lakes Lake Bloomington and Evergreen Lake in Central Illinois Using Satellite Remote Sensing written by Gare Ambrose-Igho and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research explores the use of Sentinel-2 satellite to determine the spatiotemporal patterns of lake water quality indicators (e.g. chlorophyll a) in Lake Bloomington and Evergreen Lake. Lake water quality issues related to algal blooms is a serious problem in basins with abundant agricultural lands causing harmful effects to freshwater ecosystems such as pollution of beaches, taste and odor problems in drinking water, depletion of oxygen levels causing fish kills and the issue of water exceeding safe drinking water standards. Developing monitoring techniques using various water quality indicators of algal blooms is crucial. In this project, remote sensing and field sampling methods were employed to assess the state of water quality of two small lakes, Lake Bloomington and Evergreen Lake, in Central Illinois. Water samples were collected from selected locations from the lakes to test for various water quality variables including nitrate, phosphorus and chlorophyll a. An exo sonde instrument and secchi disk was used to measure additional water quality parameters such as turbidity, secchi depth, and temperature. Concurrent satellite images obtained from Sentinel-2 with flyover with ℗ł5 days were processed and analyzed, and the results were compared with field sampling data. Single and multiple pixel analyses were conducted on various algorithms such as Bottom-of-Atmosphere (BOA), Maximum Chlorophyll Index (MCI), and band ratios. These algorithms were tested to identify the best algorithm for estimating water quality parameters using satellite data for the two lakes. A regression analysis was conducted to derive a linear model which was used to create water quality indicator maps that showed the spatial pattern of algae in the lakes. From the results of the research, Lake Bloomington was more turbid and had higher concentrations of chlorophyll a than Evergreen Lake. Except for band ratio of B1/B2 of Sentinel-2 data, a poor regression relationship between satellite and field water quality values was observed for Lake Bloomington. This poor relationship could be due to the high turbidity of the lake. Evergreen Lake, on the other hand, showed a stronger relationship between satellite values and chlorophyll a. Generally, spatial analysis reveals that chlorophyll a distribution was heterogeneous, and it increased from downstream areas to upstream areas.
Download or read book Bio optical Modeling and Remote Sensing of Inland Waters written by Deepak R. Mishra and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bio-optical Modeling and Remote Sensing of Inland Waters presents the latest developments, state-of-the-art, and future perspectives of bio-optical modeling for each optically active component of inland waters, providing a broad range of applications of water quality monitoring using remote sensing. Rather than discussing optical radiometry theories, the authors explore the applications of these theories to inland aquatic environments. The book not only covers applications, but also discusses new possibilities, making the bio-optical theories operational, a concept that is of great interest to both government and private sector organizations. In addition, it addresses not only the physical theory that makes bio-optical modeling possible, but also the implementation and applications of bio-optical modeling in inland waters. Early chapters introduce the concepts of bio-optical modeling and the classification of bio-optical models and satellite capabilities both in existence and in development. Later chapters target specific optically active components (OACs) for inland waters and present the current status and future direction of bio-optical modeling for the OACs. Concluding sections provide an overview of a governance strategy for global monitoring of inland waters based on earth observation and bio-optical modeling. Presents comprehensive chapters that each target a different optically active component of inland waters Contains contributions from respected and active professionals in the field Presents applications of bio-optical modeling theories that are applicable to researchers, professionals, and government agencies
