Urban Discharges and Receiving Water Quality Impacts : Proceedings of a Seminar Organized by the IAWPRC/IAHR Sub-Committee for Urban Runoff Quality Data, As Part of the IAWPRC 14th Biennial Conference, Brighton, U. K., 18–21 July 1988

The identification and resolution of water quality impacts on receiving waters from urban discharges are now regarded as national priority targets by most water authorities throughout the world. These seminar proceedings provide an international perspective of the scale and nature of receiving water quality problems faced by the water industry. The papers highlight the significance of source, sewer and in-stream loadings on both short- and long-term receiving water quality control, rehabilitation and operational management are reviewed in a national context, and methods for developing wet weather criteria are described in detail. The papers bring together principles and techniques of interest to the urban hydrologist, sewerage engineer, water quality scientist and water manager Content: Advances in Water Pollution Control , Page ii Front Matter , Page iii Copyright , Page iv PREFACE , Page vii , J B Ellis, R K Price, D Fiddes, R W Crabtree, G Moys THE QUALITY OF URBAN DISCHARGES , Pages 1-8 , J.

The book presents papers that discuss the methods and procedures for the control and management of urban discharges. The topics covered in the text include the impact of the quality and quantity of overflow on receiving water; impact of nonpoint pollution on a great lakes freshwater harbor-estuary; and microbiological impacts of storm sewer overflows. The book also tackles hydraulic performance and control of pollutants discharged from a combined sewer storage overflow; urban stormwater reduction and quality improvement through the use of permeable pavements; and water quality indices for the management of surface water quality. The text will be of great use to researchers and professionals concerned with effects of urban discharge on aquatic environment. Contains 17 papers plus two abstracts. Topics covered by the papers include: sources and transport of pollutants in arctic regions; processes of pollutant interaction and movement in hydrochemical or biological systems near or below freezing point and questions of prevention, detection and management of pollution in arctic conditions
