A generic metadata description for hydrodynamic model data
Authors: Islam A. K. M. Saiful , Piasecki Michael
Published: August 2018

Sharing of data sets between numerical models is considered an important and pressing issue in the modeling community, because of (i) the time consumed to convert data sets and (ii) the need to connect different types of numerical codes to better map inter-connectedness of aquatic domains. One of the reasons for the data sharing problem arises from the lack of sufficient description of the data, or lack of metadata, which is due to the absence of a standardized framework for these metadata sets. This paper describes the development of a metadata framework for hydrodynamic data descriptions using the Geographic Information Metadata, 19115:2003 standard published by the International Standards Organization (ISO). This standard has been chosen not only because of its extent and adequacy to describe geospatial data, but also because of its widespread use and flexibility to extend the coverage. The latter is particularly important, as further extensions of the metadata standard are needed to provide a comprehensive metadata representation of hydrodynamics and their I/O data. In order to enable the community to share and reuse numerical code data sets, however, they need to be published in both human and machine understandable format. One such format is the Web Ontology language (OWL), whose syntax is compliant with the Extensible Markup Language (XML). In this paper, we present an extensive metadata profile using the available elements of ISO 19115:2003 as well as its extension rules. Based on the metadata profile, an explicit specification or ontology for the model data domain has been created using OWL. The use of OWL not only permits flexibility when extending the coverage but also to share data sets as resources across the internet as part of the Semantic Web. We demonstrate the use of the framework using a two-dimensional finite element code and its associated data sets.
Quantifying structural uncertainty due to discretisation resolution and dimensionality in a hydrodynamic polder model
Authors: Sehnert C. , Huang S. , Lindenschmidt K.-E.
Published: August 2018

In flood modelling, the structure of conceptual models may have a large influence on the simulation results. Hence, the focus of this paper is on the structural uncertainty in hydrodynamic flood modelling systems. Three different conceptual models with an increasing order of complexity of the spatial discretisation of the flow through a polder system were compared in order to investigate the effect of spatial resolution and dimensionality on flood modelling. The hydrodynamic 1D model DYNHYD was used as a basis for the simulations. The model was extended to incorporate a quasi-2D approach and a Monte Carlo analysis was used to show the effect of structural uncertainty on the resulting flow characteristics of the diverted flood waters. Two flood events of the River Elbe were used to calibrate and test the model. The results of the velocity fields indicate that the simplest 1D model revealed more predictive uncertainty than the other two more complex models. The differences in model structure does not cause large differences in the capping of the peak discharges, but may substantially influence the results of subsequent modelling of sediment and contaminant transport.
Diffuse pollution in Oxford (Ohio, USA) watershed and Performance of ‘Street Sweeping’ as a ‘Best Management Practice’ (BMP)
Authors: Muhammad Nur , Hooke Anne Morris
Published: August 2018

Experimental results are described to evaluate the diffuse pollution profile according to land use in the catchments and street sweeping as a best management practice (BMP). We studied the variation of pollutant concentrations in outfalls discharging runoff from residential, commercial and high-traffic areas and in street sweeping. Pollution profiles varied with the land use in the catchments and seasons along with other factors such as rainfall intensity, construction works and street maintenance. Microbial indicator organisms were relatively high in all three outfalls. Heavy metal concentrations were low with lead (Pb) as the predominant heavy metal. The organic and solid contents were low but non-degradable and persistent. Relatively high quantities of pollutants were found in street sweeps in all catchments suggesting street sweeping as an effective measure to control diffuse pollution. Regular and frequent sweeping is important as a BMP.

Published: August 2018

Water for human consumption is required to be free from any bacteria that might pose a health risk. The presence of biofilms in the drinking water distribution system may play a role in the presence of potential pathogens in the drinking water supply. Ninety-five biofilm samples from various parts of South Africa were tested for the presence of Escherichia coli, Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio spp. Members of these genera were quantified by the three-tube most probable number (MPN) approach using enrichment broths and plating on selective agars. The heterotrophic culturable counts were determined for both the planktonic and biofilm phases of the samples. Biofilm density varied between 10 and 1.9 × 109 colony forming units cm−2. The 16S rRNA identity of the putative pathogenic isolates revealed that high numbers of Aeromonas, Pseudomonas,Klebsiella and Enterobacter were present, but no putative Salmonella and Shigella could be confirmed. None of the Pseudomonas isolates belonged to the pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Pseudomonas mendocina while the Aeromonas isolates showed relatedness to known pathogenic members of this group.

Published: August 2018

Water samples were collected from 36 locations within the Grand River Watershed, in Southwestern Ontario, Canada from July 2002 to December 2003 and were analyzed for total coliforms, fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and thermophilic Campylobacter spp. A subset of samples was also analyzed for Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp., culturable human enteric viruses, and Clostridium perfringens. Storm and snowmelt events were sampled at two locations including a drinking water intake. For the majority of the events, the Spearman rank correlation test showed a positive correlation between E. coli levels and turbidity. Peaks in pathogen numbers frequently preceded the peaks in numbers of indicator organisms and turbidity. Pathogen levels sometimes decreased to undetectable levels during an event. As pathogen peaks did not correspond to turbidity and indicator peaks, the correlations were weak. Weak correlations may be the result of differences in the sources of the pathogens, rather than differences in pathogen movement through the environment. Results from this investigation have implications for planning monitoring programs for water quality and for the development of pathogen fate and transport models to be used for source water risk assessment.
The potential implications of person-to-person transmission of viral infection for US EPA's Groundwater Rule
Authors: Soller Jeffrey A.
Published: August 2018

The risk characterization method employed by US EPA to quantitatively characterize the benefits of the Groundwater Rule (GWR) for drinking water computes person-to-person transmission intensity as the product of the number of primary illnesses and a static secondary morbidity factor. A population level infectious disease health effects model is used here to evaluate the implications of secondary transmission on exposures to viruses that are relevant to the GWR. These implications are evaluated via a hypothetical case study in which it is assumed that a tour group from a large population centre visits an outlying area that is served by a non-community water system with untreated or inadequately treated groundwater that is contaminated with a highly infectious virus. It is assumed that some of the exposed individuals become infected and then return home. Numerical simulations are used to estimate the subsequent number of additional infections and illnesses due to secondary transmission within the large community. The results indicate that secondary transmission could substantially impact the predicted benefits of the GWR depending on the suite of population dynamic elements and assumptions employed.

The Sava river alluvion was the only water-supplying resource in Belgrade for decades, until 1986 (Fig. 1). Since 1986, water-supplying resource has become the river Sava, from whose waterflow certain quantities of water are being tapped and treated. The water source consists of 100 wells with horizontal drains and certain number of vertical tubular wells. The basic water source problems are related to the yield decrease. The reasons are colmation of the river bed and well ageing. Recently, the impact of ageing and colmation of well drains is becoming more and more dominant. The problem of safe city water supply is becoming evident, because all the installations are placed on one resource – the Sava river. The problem of the city-water source interaction is also evident. The city is putting “pressure” on the source, and the protection zones of the source disturb the city. The realization of very extensive study is in progress, which should point to the directions and ways to solve these problems. This work shortly presents the Belgrade groundwater source. Also, it shortly presents the installation ageing at the Belgrade water source, and directions for solving the problem.
First full scale advanced oxidation treatment plant for groundwater in Austria
Authors: Werderitsch M.
Published: August 2018

Vienna Waterworks usually supplies its customers with the best spring water from the mountains. Some 400,000 m3/d is required to supply the city of Vienna, met entirely from 32 springs abstracting to two big spring water supply mains, each of which takes half of the total amount of water put into supply. Other water sources are, however, needed in case of failure or necessary repairs on either of the two spring water supply mains or during times of increased water demand, such as hot, dry summer days.

In the 1870's the construction of the water supply system for Vienna was started. These two spring water supply mains are in operation since this time without any general rehabilitation. Therefore, Vienna Waterworks follow the all-over-strategy of the ability to substitute one of these two spring water mains with other water sources. One part of these alternative water sources is Waterworks Moosbrunn.

WHERE DOES THE WATER GO? BEST PRACTICE STOCK MODELING FOR WATER USING APPLIANCES
Authors: Snelling C. , Turner A. , Riedy C. , White S. , Cummings S.
Published: August 2018

The water efficiency of toilets in Australia has increased significantly since the 1980's due to the development of the dual flush toilet, and the progressive reduction in average flush volumes with each new model. The accurate modelling of the average efficiency of toilets is very important as a component of demand forecasting, which itself is at its most powerful when it is disaggregated, and based on end use modeling. The stock mix of toilets has been modeled and calibrated using data from two yearly surveys of the toilet stock that have been undertaken since 1992. A lognormal function was found to most accurately represent the declining share of single flush toilets in the mix. The introduction of dual flush toilets has had a significant impact on total toilet demand in Australia. By 2007, the savings already achieved amount to 214 GL per year. An accelerated retrofit program would save an additional 79 GL per year.

Published: August 2018

Social factors, such as public outrage, commonly interfere with effective biosolids management. This is especially true with programs that involve recycling biosolids to soils. Obstacles to public support of biosolids recycling are understood by application of social science research regarding risk perception, outrage factors, and risk communication. This paper covers background, summarizes past research, and presents short case studies regarding utilizing understanding of such social factors in particular biosolids management programs. Evaluations of these efforts are presented, providing improved understanding of how biosolids managers can implement cost-effective strategies to more effectively address the social aspects of biosolids management.
Biosolids management integrated into national organic resource strategies in the UK
Authors: Matthews P.J.
Published: August 2018

There are many kinds of organic byproducts. They are potentially useful, but can be wasted and thrown away. One use for many of these products is as fertilisers and soil conditioners but they are managed and regulated separately. Customers are faced with choices of services and products. Examples are biosolids, municipal composts, food processing byproducts and farm yard manures. Biosolids are perceived as being special, but part of a range of a number of wastes seeking a disposal. The target must be to establish and maintain safe, sustainable and welcome operations for the supply of all of these products. Trust is at the heart. There is nothing special about biosolids; they should not demand special treatment and should be viewed as one of a range of safe products. There must be a ‘level playing field’ for all products and then customers can choose that which is most suitable for their needs on the basis of agronomic value, customer service and financial deals available. So, for example, municipal compost and biosolids should compete in the market place on the basis of normal commercial terms, but not on the basis of differential safety or quality. It behoves everyone to co-operate in creating the starting point of equality of opportunity. The UK has established the Sustainable Organic Resources Partnership to bring together all stakeholders for all kinds of organic resources. The objective has been to create a national focus of knowledge excellence, which can provide the confidence for building public trust. The paper describes the history, role and future of SORP.
The 273,000 m/d immersed membrane system at Chestnut Avenue Water Works: its novel design and first year of operation
Authors: Janson A. , O'Toole G. , Lee M.-F.
Published: August 2018

The practice of the Public Utilities Board (PUB) of Singapore is to provide the Singapore public with high quality drinking water. In 2001, in keeping with this practice and due to an increased emphasis on diversification of its water supply, the PUB undertook a major project to expand the capacity of the Chestnut Avenue Waterworks (CAWW) by 273,000 m3/d (60 Migd) using membrane technology. In 2003, Zenon Environmental, as part of a team with the owner's engineer, Black & Veatch, main contractor Thames Water Projects/SembCorp Engineers & Constructors and local Zenon licensee, Hyflux Engineering, installed and commissioned a 273,000 m3/d enhanced coagulation /ultrafiltration membrane plant — the largest of its type in the world at the time.

This paper describes the innovative aspects of the CAWW membrane plant design and summarizes the results of its first year of operation. Certain aspects of the full-scale system design are particularly noteworthy. Whereas typical immersed membrane systems employ expensive process pumps to create the vacuum necessary to produce filtrate, the CAWW system relies on a simple siphon to produce filtrate. No permeate pumps are required and this dramatically reduces capital and operating cost through simplified design, reduced controls and minimized floor space. The land area needed for membrane filtration and related process equipment is equivalent to obtaining 180 m3/d of capacity per m2 of land area.

Authors: Sakakibara Y. , Sena Y. , Prosnansky M.
Published: August 2018

The\ performance of a novel 3-dimensional electrolytic cell reactor for the treatment of dilute solutions was investigated using different dyes (potassium indigotrisulfonate (PI), Orange 2 and Amaranth) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Continuous experiments demonstrated that the present electrolytic cell reactor was able to directly oxidize the dyes on the surface of the electrode very quickly in response to a change in electric current. It is interesting to note that the energy consumption for the oxidation of PI and Orange 2 was significantly smaller than for the commercially available ozone generators. The electrolytic reactor was also successfully applied to the treatment of trace EDCs including 17β-estradiol, bisphenol-A, nonyl-phenol and chlorinated phenols.
Application of O3/GAC process for advanced and selective removal of natural organic matter from conventionally treated water
Authors: Kim H.C. , Yu M.J. , Koo J.Y. , Lee S.
Published: August 2018

A demonstration plant consisted of ozone/granular activated carbon (GAC) was operated using sand filtered water as an influent to study the feasibility for introduction of an advanced water treatment. In ozonating the sand filtered water, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) slightly increased at an ozone dose of less than 1.0 mg O3/mg C, and the largest DOC reduction was exhibited at 1.0 mg O3/mg C. As ozone dosage increased from 1.0 to 5.0 mg O3/mg C, DOC decreased no more, whereas UV absorbance at 254 nm gradually decreased with increasing ozone dosage. The hydrophobic fraction in natural organic matter (NOM) was considered as a predominant reactant from the result of a rapid decrease in specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA). Since the specific reaction sites in the NOM molecule for haloform reaction were attacked by ozonation, the disinfection by-product (DBP) formation potentials could be reduced. The hydrophobic fraction decreased from 36.3% to 28.7% by ozonation and then decreased to 24.2% through carbon adsorption. The hydrophilic fraction changed only by 1.0% during ozonation, while it decreased by 28.3% through carbon adsorption. Therefore, ozonation followed by carbon adsorption is an acceptable process for the reduction of latent risk through selective oxidation and adsorption of different NOM fractions.

Published: August 2018

Cyanobacteria are present in many drinking water reservoirs in the world, and some of them may produce microcystins, anatoxin-a and other natural toxins: In this study, two groups of algal toxins: microcystins and anatoxin-a, and associated toxin producers were investigated. Water samples from nine major drinking water reservoirs and seven associated water purification plants were collected. An HPLC and an LC/MS were employed to detect the concentrations of five microcystins (microcystins-LR, RR, YR, LW, LF) and anatoxin-a. Molecular biotechnology methods were used to sequence Microcystis sp. gene from the cyanobacteria bloom from two of the reservoirs. Monitoring results suggested that microcystins were present in all the drinking water reservoirs studied, and some of them had concentration higher than the WHO guideline of microcystins-LR (1 μg/L). Unlike microcystins, anatoxin-a was only found in four reservoirs, mostly in King-Men island. After comparing the DNA sequence with existing cyanobacteria reference database, Microcystis aeruginosa and other Microcystis sp. were confirmed present in the two reservoirs tested.
Enhanced coagulation with composite permanganate pretreatment in polluted water treatment
Authors: Xu G.R. , Li G.B. , Ma J. , Chen Z.L.
Published: August 2018

Full-scale tests have been conducted for enhanced coagulation in stabilized surface waters with low turbidity, high organic content and low temperature by PAC coagulation combined with composite permanganate (CP) pretreatment, KMnO4 preoxidation and prechlorination processes. The values of turbidity, COD, bacteria, coliform, TMn, chloroform and chloroform potential by different processes were observed. Test results show that CP pretreatment enhanced coagulation is superior to prechlorination and KMnO4 preoxidation. This pretreatment process has the capability to reduce the above parameter values sharply with less coagulant compared to prechlorination. CP pretreatment will not increase chloroform in water and can effectively remove chloroform potential. The manganese dioxide produced during permanganate preoxidation also enhanced coagulation, which has special adsorption and oxidation for the organic matter, and at the same time it acts as catalyst to accelerate the reaction between the KMnO4 and organics in water. CP enhanced coagulation is a cost-effective and most efficient pretreatment process.
Adsorption kinetics and equilibrium of arsenic onto an iron-based adsorbent and an ion exchange resin
Authors: Lin T.F. , Liu C.C. , Hsieh W.H.
Published: August 2018

Arsenic is commonly present in many groundwater sources. To remove arsenic from groundwater, several advanced techniques, including adsorption and ion exchange, are often employed in drinking water treatment processes. In this study, the transport and adsorption of arsenate within one iron-based adsorbent (Bayoxide E33 from Bayer) and one anion exchange resin (Arsenex from Purolite) is elucidated. A batch reactor with temperature control was used to determine the kinetic and equilibrium uptake of arsenate onto the two media. The experimental results revealed that the adsorption equilibrium was established within 4 to 5 hours for both E33 and Arsenex. After fitting the arsenate uptake data, the Freundlich isotherm equation was able to describe the experimental uptake data for both media. The uptake of arsenate decreased as pH increased for E33, since the surface of E33 became more negatively charged at higher pH. However, the arsenate uptake increased as pH increased due to the fact that more divalent arsenate ions formed at higher pH. A pore diffusion model, combined with the Freundlich isotherm parameters, was used to simulate the kinetic uptake data. The models conforms closely to the experimental data, and the extracted pore diffusion coefficients of arsenate were obtained. The model with the extracted diffusion coefficients was able to predict the kinetic adsorption curves for other experimental conditions, indicating that the model is appropriate for the systems tested in this study.

Published: August 2018

The objective of this study is to assess the importance of algae and algogenic organic substances concerned with the formation of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) during algal growth and chlorination process. Laboratory tests were carried out using cultures of algal species (Phormidium tenue) with different culture medium, M-11 and CT. Extracellular organic matter (EOM) produced during the stationary phase and death phase of P. tenue (106 cells/mL) with M-11 culture medium led to significant increase of the AOC concentration, up to 100 times as high as its initial concentration. In case of CT culture medium containing a high DOC component, the AOC concentration did not increase significantly during P. tenue culture. The formation and removal of AOC derived from EOM and intercellular organic matter (IOM) by chlorination were also examined. The AOC concentration after chlorination of EOM and IOM became maximum with 2 mg/L of chlorine dosage while it decreased with increase of chlorine dosage when the dosage was higher than 2 mg/L, suggesting that necessary chlorine dosage to not form AOC is higher than 2 mg/L.

Repeated and insurmountable in early childhood, it will impact trauma to the child, so that pain management is a main priority for nurses. However, nurses have barrier to implement pain management effectively. Therefore, involvement of the parents in pain management was so important. One of the non-pharmacological pain management involving parents is distraction by the parent (Parent Distraction Coaching).  The purpose of this research was to examined the difference intensity of pain children from ages 1-5 years old between intervention group and control group during intravenous insertion. This research uses quasi experimental methode by applying the pre-experimental design which is called the intact group comparison. Through the consecutive sampling, the data has been collected from 17 children in each group, both control and intervention groups. Respondents in the intervention group were the children undergoing the intravenous insertion and they were accompanied by their parents' distraction after the parents got the parental distraction coaching, while respondents in the control group were the children undergoing the intravenous insertion in accordance with the hospital procedures but they were not accompanied by their parents' distraction. The assessment of pain intensity was done by using FLACC instruments (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability). The data were analyzed descriptively and tested by using inferential t test-independent where the value of p < 0.05. From the results of the statistical tests using t test-independent test, the value of p obtained is 0.005 (p value <0.05). This value indicates that there is a significant difference between the intensity of pain experienced by children in the control group and in the intervention group during the intravenous insertion. Based on these results, nurses are expected to be aware of the importance of parents or family involvement in reducing the pain experienced by children during intravenous insertion, so that the implementation of pain management in children becomes more effective.
