Drinking Water Water Distribution System Monitoring A Practical Approach for Evaluating Drinking Water Quality Abigail F. Cantor Process Research Solutions, Madison, Wisconsin, USA

A typical water distribution system is complex and chaotic with varying piping configurations, water flows, chemical reactions, and microbiological activity. It is therefore no surprise that monitoring water quality can be a daunting task. And while proactive monitoring costs money, having water quality problems is even more costly. This book discusses how common water quality issues can be avoided by routinely monitoring key water quality parameters in the distribution system in a controlled and standardized manner. It provides a practical step-by-step approach and open-source technology for proactive water quality management. It describes a method for routinely monitoring the water distribution system by assembling a standardized monitoring station, planning a monitoring strategy, and interpreting and using the water quality data.

Features • Clears up confusion and misunderstandings about water quality issues, especially regarding lead and copper • Delineates two important actions that every water quality utility can adopt to quickly improve water quality • Demonstrates how small water systems can achieve the quality control and process improvements similar to the methods used in industry The book presents the information in workbook format for ease of understanding and use as a handy reference. It allows readers to optimize their chemical usage, minimize operational expenses, and confirm that the water is safe. Laying out a path to quality control and process improvement, the book provides the tools for well-defined and measurable control of water quality. Catalog no.

Monitoring and Control of Macrofouling Mollusks in Fresh Water Systems

Rapid Bioassessment of Stream Health

Second Edition

Duncan L. Hughes, James Gore, Michele P. Brossett, and John R. Olson

Gerald L. Mackie University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada

Renata Claudi RNT Consulting, Ontario, Canada

Upon its initial publication more than fifteen years ago, this book broke new ground with its comprehensive coverage of the biology and ecology, distribution and dispersal mechanisms, physiology, monitoring, negative and positive impacts, and control of aquatic invasive species of mussels, clams, and snails. Building on this foundation, the second edition of Monitoring and Control of Macrofouling Mollusks in Fresh Water Systems includes completely revised information on species such as the zebra mussel while also covering up-and-coming nuisance species such as the quagga mussel, Conrad’s false mussel, the Asian clam, and the fast-spreading golden mussel.

The Second Edition includes: • Ten new species of mussels and snails • International case studies on mussel fouling problems and how to cope with them • New control and monitoring techniques • Discussions of the latest threats and possible future scenarios While many other resources contain segments of this information, none cover all areas and link them in a cohesive fashion. It is this approach that makes the understanding of potential impacts on ecosystems, industries and utilities, as well as the many human-made physical and chemical mitigants for controlling the mollusks supplied by this book so crucial for preserving the health of raw water supplies. Catalog no. K10045, January 2010, 550 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-0050-8, $139.95 / £89.00

Tasked by the Clean Water Act to restore and maintain the integrity of their waters, state and local governments must develop systems for assessing the health of the streams within their borders. They quickly find that one size does not fit all when it comes to sampling. Rapid Bioassessment of Stream Health examines the sampling techniques, laboratory methods, and data analysis necessary to create a protocol for analyzing the health of streams, using rapid bioassessment techniques. The editors explore how to determine reference streams in each ecoregion and subecoregion with specific indices of health. They provide field methods for monitoring and sampling invertebrates and laboratory methods for subsampling. The work focuses on the application of the EPA’s Rapid Bioassessment Protocol (RBP) but suggests various techniques that can be used to improve sampling protocols and quality control, where necessary. It also includes general listings of health classifications, appendices of more than 300 streams that have been sampled, and a GIS method for designating the reference condition for purposes of comparison in each ecological unit. A compendium of information about prioritizing those streams and small rivers requiring analysis, this book contains guidelines on the assessment of streams in a particular ecoregion and sampling streams that are at least impaired as points of comparison. It supplies guidance for the production of other rapid bioassessment tools customized to various ecoregions and subecoregions.

Although valuable resources in river basins and other aqueous environments, sediments often receive much less attention from researchers, policymakers, and other professionals than other components of the ecosystem, until now. Highlighting the important role that sediments play in the geoenvironment, Sediments Contamination and Sustainable Remediation focuses on sediment management for the purpose of environmental cleanup or management. It provides the in-depth understanding of the sediment-water environment needed to develop better management practices and meet sustainability requirements. The book discusses the contamination of sediments resulting from discharge of pollutants, excessive nutrients, and other hazardous substances from anthropogenic activities. It examines impacts observed as a result of these discharges, including the presence of hazardous materials and eutrophication. It also elucidates the remediation techniques developed to restore the health of sediments and how to evaluate the remediation technologies using indicators. The text explores the problems inherent in dealing with contaminated sediments in rivers, lakes, and estuaries and includes numerous case studies that illustrate key concepts. The authors provide wide-ranging coverage of the topic and include methods for evaluating the effectiveness of different remediation technologies. They make the case for the development and application of innovative management practices that create long-term solutions to sediment contamination to reduce natural resource depletion, continued landfill contamination, and diminished biodiversity in the aquatic geoenvironment. Catalog no. 61534, January 2010, 320 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-6153-6, $129.95 / £82.00

Transport of Escherichia coli in Saturated Porous Media Jan Willem Foppen IHE UNESCO Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

This book examines the occurrence of hyperexponential deposition of E. coli, an important indicator of fecal contamination, and the causes of such behavior. The starting point is the well known colloid filtration theory, followed by straining or physical sieving, geochemical heterogeneity, variable deposition rate coefficients, and preferential flow mechanisms. The text delineates a series of column experiments with glass beads of various sizes in which the attachment of E. coli decreased hyper-exponentially as a function of the transported distance from the column inlet.

Wetlands Science Fingerponds

The Functional Assessment of Wetlands

Managing Nutrients & Primary Productivity For Enhanced Fish Production in Lake Victoria’s Wetlands Uganda

Towards Evaluation of Ecosystem Services E. Maltby, U. Digby, and C. Baker

Rose Kaggwa

“Finally we have a clearly written and well organized book that provides wetland scientists and managers with an in-depth analysis of the hydrogeomorphic unit (HGMU) approach and its application to wetland functional assessment. … This volume will be extremely valuable to land use managers, geographers and wetland ecologists looking for a rapid approach to assess wetland ecosystem services on the landscape.” —Professor Curtis J Richardson, Director Duke University Wetland Center

This book discusses the use of functional assessment procedures (FAPs) for predicting the functioning of a wetland without the need for comprehensive and expensive empirical research. The FAPs in this volume translate best available scientific knowledge into reasonable predictions of how component parts of wetlands function in different landscape contexts. They can be used to indicate the potential and priorities for management options in such areas as flood control, pollution reduction, and biodiversity conservation. The volume includes an electronic version of the FAPs on CD which automates aspects of the assessment once the initial recording stage is completed. It is anticipated that the FAPs will be used by a range of individuals or organizations concerned with wetland management who wish to gain a better understanding of the processes, functions, services or benefits, and potential of the wetlands for which they have responsibility.

This study examines fingerponds in the Lake Victoria wetlands in Uganda. It discusses the importance of organic manure applications in enhancing nutrient levels, phytoplankton, and periphyton productivities and ultimately fish production. The study demonstrates that organic manures enhance algal development and fish production, emphasizing that close monitoring and control are needed. It explores the enhancement of fish yields using animal manure, fermented green manure, and artificial substrates for periphyton development, covers the good management practices, and discusses the role of fingerponds in ameliorating food security for resource-poor communities.

The Dynamics of Shoreline Wetlands and Sediments of Northern Lake Victoria N.G.T. Azza UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

This book presents evidence of the effects of wind-induced waves and currents on the transport of surficial sediments. Paleolimnological reconstructions from bottom sediments confirmed earlier assessments that climate change was a co-driver of lake ecosystem change. It is argued that eutrophication could have led to destruction of a number of littoral plants species and has induced changes in fish populations. Catalog no.
