Hazardous wastes
Hazardous wastes are posing the greatest threat to the environment than ever before. Indiscriminate transfer of technology from the Developed Nations for the production of highly hazardous chemicals can lead to a frequent contamination of the environment with the hazardous wastes. The situation appears to be very serious in many of the Third World Nations, where basic problems of water supply and sanitation still need a solution. Contamination of…
Urban and semi‐urban planning in developing countries from a water and waste water treatment point of view
Several appropriate technology alternatives are suggested for water and wastewatei treatment in less developed countries. Large‐scale water supply systems employing conventional water treatment methods should be replaced by several small‐scale water treatment units utilizing appropriate water treatment methods. Conventional sewerage systems should be replaced by low cost on‐site sanitation systems and several other low‐cost wastewater treatment m…
Models for simulation of acid precipitation effects on lakes and soils
Several empirical models have been developed for forecasting the effects of acid precipitation on lakes and soils. Lake acidification process can be forecasted by the application of these models. Monte Carlo simulation can forecast the acid precipitation effects on lakes under normal and under extreme values of the driving variables of acid precipitation. Several multiple regression models have been developed for forecasting the effects of acid p…
A review of the technological feasibility of aquacultures for municipal wastewater treatment
The technical feasibility of utilising aquacultures for municipal wastewater treatment is reviewed. Aquacultures containing one or more aquatic weeds are cost effective for secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment, compared to the highly energy intensive conventional secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment systems. The major advantages are less capital and maintenance costs required as opposed to conventional wastewater treatment. Aquatic …
Low cost sanitation alternatives of wastewater treatment for developed and developing countries
Several low cost sanitation alternatives applicable to both developed and developing countries are discussed. Conventional sewerage systems are culturally and economically unsuitable for many of the developing countries. Sanitation in many of the developing countries could be greatly improved by adapting low cost sewage treatment technologies intermediate between pit privies and conventional sewerage systems. Other low cost wastewater treatment a…
A note on the feasibility of degradation of phenol by some crustacean larvae
Three freshwater crustacean larvae have been found to selectively degrade phenol, a common constituent of industrial waste discharges. The prospects of obtaining a low‐cost treatment system for replacing conventional methods for phenol‐containing waste waters look very promising. Though the proposed treatment is effective, care must be taken to dilute waste liquids before treatment with larvae
