The sewer is a reactor for chemical and microbial transformations of wastewater. These in-sewer processes affect the quality of the wastewater and thereby the sewer itself, the subsequent treatment and the receiving water quality. The paper focuses on the interactions between the dry weather in-sewer chemical and microbial transformations of the wastewater and the corresponding processes in a downstream located treatment plant. A conceptual understanding of the sewer processes is crucial in this respect.

A general methodology for the study of water quality in rivers is presented. The paper consists of four parts. In the first part the general characteristics of the area of study, which is the Beli Lom river, and its major pollution sources are presented. The effluent of the Razgrad Wastewater Treatment Plant (RWWTP) has been identified as the most significant pollution point source, due to the inadequate performance of the plant. The second part deals with data collection and processing. Four series of data have been collected, including physical, flow and water quality characteristics. In the third part a 1-d, finite-difference, second-order model is presented. In the fourth part, the model is calibrated, for the determination of its main coefficients, and is successfully verified by predicting the BOD and DO concentrations in the Beli Lom river for all series of data. Finally, the model has been applied to determine the maximum BOD and minimum DO effluent concentrations of the RWWTP, so that a minimum DO concentration is maintained throughout the river.

The trans-boundary area between the Europe Union and other countries is highly susceptible to changes in water quality and variations in the potential pollution load that could influence its eco-systems significantly. The Neris (Viliya) River is one of the biggest surface water bodies in Lithuania and Belarus with an ecologically important area protected by international legislation. The study was aimed at evaluating the impacts of integrated pollution on water quality of the Neris River taking into account different storm-water flows and ecological scenarios. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative statistical evaluation was set up and calculation was done; different integrated pollution loads of the catchment area were estimated. The evaluation considered a decrease in river discharge due to changes in the regional storm-water flow and technological development that should lead to the growing covered surface and a reduction in the untreated storm-water flows. The obtained results indicated that, in the case of storm-water treatment, the total nitrate and phosphate concentrations will decrease, while in the cases of changes in combined suspended solid, the concentration of nutrients will decrease. Thus, a trans-boundary storm-water treatment plant of the Viliya River is required as it should eliminate pollution accumulation and restore its acceptable environmental status. A coordinated international project for the entire catchment of the Neris (Viliya) River based on the specifications and requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive (EU 2000) should be developed and implemented. Subsequently, ecological river-use policies should be established at the international level, which should offer considerable perspectives for the sustainable development of the area.

Abstract22 representative antibiotics, including 8 quinolones (QNs), 9 sulfonamides (SAs), and 5 macrolides (MCs) were selected to investigate their occurrence and removal efficiencies in a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and their distribution in the receiving water of the Chaobai River in Beijing, China. Water quality monitoring was performed in an integrated way at different selected points in the WWTP to explore the potential mechanism of antibiotics removal during wastewater treatment. Water quality of the Chaobai River was also analyzed to examine environmental distribution in a river ecosystem. The results showed that within all the 22 compounds examined, 10 antibiotics were quantified in wastewater influent, 10 in effluent, and 7 in river. Sulfadiazine (SDZ, 396 ng/L) and Sulfamethazine (SMZ, 382 ng/L) were the dominating antibiotics in the influent. Both the conventional treatment and advanced Biological Aerated Filter (BAF) system was important for the removal of antibiotics from the wastewater. And the concentrations of selected antibiotics were ranged from 0-41.8 ng/L in the effluent-receiving river. Despite the fact that the concentrations were reduced more than 50% compared to effluent concentrations, WWTP discharge was still regarded as a dominant point-source input of antibiotics into the Chaobai River.

Digoel river have an important role to the human activity and environment in Boven Digoel Regency. Increasing of human and industrial activity around the watershed of Digoel River were suspecious to cause the degradation water quality in Digoel River. This research was done to monitor the impact of the industrial activity to the quality of water in outlet of waste water treatment plant(WWTP) of PT. Korindo to the water quality of Digoel River. Parameter analised are the physical, chemical, organic chemical, microbiology and metal content in water. Analysis of the water quality accordance to PP Nomor 82 Tahun 2001 about water quality managementand water pollution and Permen LH Nomor 5 tahun 2014 about the quality of waste water.The monitoring was conducted in three months at five sampling stasion (river upstream, river down stream, outlet WWTP plywood, outlet WWT workshop, outlet WWTP palm oil) in Districk Jair. The rsult showed, parameter of BOD, COD, phospate, phenol and total coliform in Digoel River exceeded class I of water quality standards. Outlet of plywood WWTP have two parameters that exceed the quality standard which were TSS 15.67 mg/L and phenol 13.33 mg/L.The outlet of WWTP workshop have four pameter exceeded the quality standard which were TSS (383.67 mg/L), oil/fats (502.0 µg/L), phenol (11.0 µg/L), and zinc (21,000 mg/L). IPAL oil WWTP outlet have two parameter sexceeded the quality standars which were oil/fats (313.0 µg/L) and total coliform (> 979 cells/100 mL). The result indicating  that the status of water quality of Digoel River are categorized as “lightly polluted”. Therefore based on utilization, it was categorized as class IV water quality that can be used for irrigating, planting and other purposed that meet the requairement of water qualiy in this class, while for other uses need necessary processing. In order  not to  increase the pollution in the Digoel river the WWTP of industry around Digoel River should improved their treatment, so that waste water discharged to the Digoel River not exceed the stanards quality.Key words: water quality, digoel river, status of water quality, pollutant index.

The water quality of rivers worldwide is of persistent interest due to its impact on human life. Five streamwater quality parameters of Suceava River were monitored in 2019 upstream and downstream of Suceava city, Romania: dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, and temperature. Data was recorded at a high temporal frequency, every hour, and produced Water Quality Index (WQI) time series of similar resolution. Our additive WQI has variants with particular advantages. Water quality of Suceava city exhibits a diurnal cycle. Upstream, WQI values indicate a quasi-permanent good water quality; downstream, the water quality oscillates around the average WQI value because of the various sources of water contaminants, especially the wastewaters from the wastewater treatment plant. Parameters from this point source of pollution are taken into account to explain the decaying streamwater quality towards the end of 2019. WQI is useful for detecting time intervals when water self-purification events have a high chance of occurrence.

Effluents from the treatment plant of Saint Jean de Monts and Saint Hilaire de Riez have been injected into a confined ground water for twelve years. This ground water is connected with the sea. Effluent floats on the surface of the aquifer and it disperses by dilution at the freshwater/salt water interface. The aquifer acts as a direct overflow pipe. The injection of effluent has preserved the quality of waters in the coastal area and in the Breton Marsh.

Abstract Urban snowpacks accumulate large quantities of solids and contaminants, which originate from such sources as airborne fallout, vehicular deposition, and applied grit and salt. Both contaminants and solids may be quickly released during the periods of snowmelt and, consequently, melting contaminated snow in urban areas in cold climates has the potential to substantially impact the water quality of receiving water bodies. Although data on the water quality impacts of meltwater are relatively scarce, instances of toxicity of the highly concentrated first flush and deterioration of the receiving water quality by winter discharges of solids and chemicals have been documented. Common rainfall-runoff management techniques do not usually address snowmelt impacts because of the cold weather effects on biological systems and physical processes. Further research on adaptation of conventional Stormwater management techniques to cold climate conditions is needed.
