Review Paper: Evaluation Of Techniques For Algae Removal From Wastewater Stabilization Ponds, E. Joe Middlebrooks, Donald B. Porcella, Robert A. Gearheart, Gary R. Marshall, James H. Reynolds, William J. Grenney Jan 1974

Review Paper: Evaluation Of Techniques For Algae Removal From Wastewater Stabilization Ponds, E. Joe Middlebrooks, Donald B. Porcella, Robert A. Gearheart, Gary R. Marshall, James H. Reynolds, William J. Grenney

Reports

Introduction: Approximately 90 percent of the wastewater lagoons in the United States are located in small communities of 5,000 people or less. These communities, many with an average daily wastewater flow of only 175,000 - 200,000 gallons, do not have the resources to keep man at the lagoon sites throughout the day (38). A high degree of technical knowhow is usually lacking in these communities. Often only periodic inspection or maintenance is carried out by the general municipal work force. Therefore, the development of a relatively inexpensive method that does not require sophisticated and constant operation or extensive maintenance is …


Incoherent-Scatter Radar Observations Of Westward Electric Fields, 2, C L. Rino, Vincent B. Wickwar, P M. Banks, E Rieger, S Akasofu Jan 1974

Incoherent-Scatter Radar Observations Of Westward Electric Fields, 2, C L. Rino, Vincent B. Wickwar, P M. Banks, E Rieger, S Akasofu

All Physics Faculty Publications

In this paper we describe the results of a series of geomagnetic meridian plane radar incoherent scatter plasma transport measurements. From such data the eastward (zonal) component of the electric field can be deduced. The results show that the electric field has an eastward component whenever the discrete auroras are northward of the region of the measurement. The zonal field component turns westward as the discrete auroras move equatorward of the region of the measurement. Thus there is an eastward electric field boundary near the equatorward limit of the discrete aurora, which is the poleward boundary of the diffuse aurora …


Modeling The Total Hydrologic-Sociologic Flow System Of Urban Areas - Phase Ii, Wade H. Andrews, J. Paul Riley, George B. Shih, Malcolm B. Masteller Jan 1974

Modeling The Total Hydrologic-Sociologic Flow System Of Urban Areas - Phase Ii, Wade H. Andrews, J. Paul Riley, George B. Shih, Malcolm B. Masteller

Reports

Introduction and Overview: This is an interim report on Phase II of the three phase study. The objectives covered in this phase were: 1. To gather social and hydrologic data needed to calibrate and test the model. 2. The expand the physical model to include the rural part of the watersheds. 3. To test and improve techniques of the logical linking of the hydrologic and sociologic systems. 4. To begin adapting the model to the computer. During the second phase for the hydrologic component of the model major emphasis was placed on the expansion of the hydrologic area and the …


Effect Of Temperature On Algal Removal By Alum Coagulation, Muhammad Anis H. Al-Layla, E. Joe Middlebrooks, Donald B. Porcella Jan 1974

Effect Of Temperature On Algal Removal By Alum Coagulation, Muhammad Anis H. Al-Layla, E. Joe Middlebrooks, Donald B. Porcella

Reports

Questions about the effect of temperature on algal cell coagulation and the relationships between algae removal and temperature, alum dosage, paddle speed, flocculation time, and settling time are answered. The investigations consisted of two series of tests: Studies on algae cultured under laboratory control, and algae in wastewater stabilization ponds. The jar-test technique was used for the coagulation of algal suspensions by alum. Coagulation of algae is caused mainly by the insoluble flocs of aluminum hydroxide. Other aluminum species also have coagulative properties but are far less effective. The destabilization of algal colloids results from enmeshment within the hydroxide precipitates, …

A Study Of The Effectiveness Of Water Resources Planning Groups A Final Report, Daniel H. Hoggan, Jim Mulder, Sarah Jane Taylor, Dennis E. Oaks, Brent Somers, Raymond L. Richardson

Reports

Information and recommendations were developed pertaining to the organization of regional and river basin water planning studies, useful to river basin commissions and others responsible for such studies. The approach that was used included four basic components: (1) conceptualization of a planning model, based on an analysis of planning theory and organizational literature, (2) analysis and review of historical trends in water resources planned, (3) examination and comparative evaluation of 15 river basin planning studies, and (4) case studies of two planning efforts selected from the 15 examined in order to perform a more detailed analysis and to gain information …


An Analysis Of Water Research Programs Of The Utah Water Research Laboratory And Center For Water Resources Research, Water Resources Research Citizen Advisory Panel Jan 1974

An Analysis Of Water Research Programs Of The Utah Water Research Laboratory And Center For Water Resources Research, Water Resources Research Citizen Advisory Panel

Reports

Foreward: As a means of keeping water research programs at Utah State University responsive to needs in terms of both timeliness and emphasis, President Glen L. Taggart, in 1970, requested a number of Utah citizens to serve as a panel to give counsel and advice to the Utah Water Research Laboratory and Center for Water Resources Research. Membership of this 16-member panel represents a broad spectrum of water-related experience gained from a variety of professional backgrounds and organizational affiliations. The objective was to keep the panel small enough for it to be a "working" group but large enough to obtain …


Component Description Of Sediment-Water Microcosms, James Hill Iv Jan 1974

Component Description Of Sediment-Water Microcosms, James Hill Iv

Reports

The development and application of complementary variables (potential and flux) for modeling environmental systems are illustrated for the hydraulic and dissolved oxygen subsystems of laboratory microcosms. These sediment-water, semi-continuous flow microcosms were used to determine nutrient interchange and mercury interactions under lighted (aerobic) and dark (anaerobic) conditions. The approach of using complementary variables to describe such systems forces a more complete conceptual understanding of the system and better attention to those parameters (many of which are unknown) requiring measurement. Complementary variables are incorporated into basic linear component equations which describe basic processes of energy transfer and transformation. The components are …

Simulation Of Steady And Unsteady Flows In Channels And Rivers, Roland W. Jeppson Jan 1974

Simulation Of Steady And Unsteady Flows In Channels And Rivers, Roland W. Jeppson

Reports

The unsteady, one-dimensional Saint-Venant equations are solved by an implicit finite difference scheme to handle general channel and river flows. The initial conditions for the unsteady flow are provided by solving the steady varied flow equation for the specified boundary conditions. The solution for the unsteady flow allows any of eight separate boundary conditions to be specified which are composed of combinations of specifying the depth or discharge as functions of time at either the upstream of downstream ends, with the stage-discharge relation or constant depth and flow rate specified at the other end. Typical solutions showing the spatial and …
