Load Generation

The eutrophication of Lake Biwa, which is the largest lake in Japan and one of the most important fresh water resources, has been warned since 1960s. In order to improve the water quality of the lake, it is inevitable to reduce the pollutant loads from the river basins. The Hino river and the Soma river basins are considered in the present study and models which predict the influence of pollutant load generation on the discharged pollutant loads through the rivers. These basins mainly consist of forests and rice paddy fields. The identified models reproduce the observed water quality relatively well. Evaluation of loads from point-sources and non-point sources indicates that the loads from non-point sources occupy the most of pollutant loads from the basins. Especially, the loads from rice paddy fields occupy most of the pollutant loads from the basisn. Therefore, controlling non-point source pollutant loads in the Hino and Soma river basins is an important step in checking the eutrophication of Lake Biwa.

Urban development, agricultural runoff and industrialization have contributed pollution loading on the environment.  In this study Hemavathi river water from a stretch from its origin point to its sangama was studied for pollution load by determining parameters of water quality like pH, Alkalinity,  Ca, Mg, Nitrate, TDS, BOD, COD , and the results were compared with WHO and BIS standards to draw final conclusion on the quality of water.

Changes of microbial indices of water quality in the Vistula and Brda rivers as a result of sewage treatment plant operationThis paper reports the results of studies of microbiological changes in the water quality of the Vistula and Brda rivers after the opening of sewage treatment plants in Bydgoszcz. The study involved determining the microbiological parameters of water quality. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the quality of the water in both rivers had improved decidedly after the opening of the plants, although an increased number of individual groups of microorganisms was found at the treated sewage outlet from one of the plants.
