Pollutant Sources

Considering the abundance of potential pollutant sources along Bedog River, i.e. highly dense residential areas, agricultural lands, and industrial areas, this study aimed to quantitatively assess the Pollutant Load (PL) and Pollutant Carrying Capacity (PCC) of the river based on Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)parameters. The assessment employed a water quality modeling using Qual2Kw that provided not only the comprehensive values of PL and PCC but also the amount of PL that should be reduced to meet the PCC of every river segment. Water sampling and primary parameter measurement were conducted purposively in seven observation points, which included one point source and six non-point sources (river segments). River segments were determined according to the characteristics of land use and drainage system. Descriptive, graphic, and spatial analyses on water quality modeling show that the COD and BOD of Bedog River (2.24 km) indicates a small presence of PL compared to the river’s PCC. The PCC allows additional pollutant loads of 566.95 kg/day or 0.024 ton/hour BOD and 22,965.12 kg/day or 0.96 ton/hour COD. However, a high BOD in segments 3, 5, and 6 and a high COD in segment 5 imply the needs for PL reduction.

Waste Load

The conventional method for waste load allocations (WLA) employs spatial-differentiation, considering individual point sources, and temporal-integration, using a constant flow, typically 7Q10 low flow. This paper presents a watershed-based seasonal management approach, in which non-point source as well as point sources are incorporated, seasonal design flows are used for water quality analysis, and WLA are performend in a watershed scale. The strategy for surface water quality modeling in the watershed-based approach is described. The concept of seasonal discharge management is discussed and suggested for the watershed-based approach. A case study using the method for the Des Moines River, Iowa, USA is conducted. Modeling considerations and procedure are presented. The significance of non-point source pollutant load and its impact on water quality of the river is evaluated by analyzing field data. A water quality model is selected and validated against field measurements. The model is applied to projections of future water quality situations under different watershed management and water quality control scenarios with respect to river flow and pollutant loading rate.

Akaki River

The collective impacts of rapid urbanization, poor pollution management practices and insufficient sanitation infrastructure have driven the water quality deterioration in Little Akaki River (LAR), Ethiopia. Water quality modeling using QUAL2Kw was conducted in the LAR aimed at selecting the optimal water quality improvement and pollution load reduction approaches based on the evaluation of five scenarios: modification of point sources (PS) load (S1), modification of nonpoint sources (NPS) load (S2), simultaneous modification of PS and NPS load (S3), application of local oxygenators and fish passages using cascaded rock ramps (S4), and an integrated scenario (S5). Despite the evaluation of S1 resulting in an average load reduction of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) (17.72%), PO4-P (37.47%), NO3-N (19.63%), the water quality objective (WQO) in LAR could not be attained. Similarly, though significant improvement of pollution load was found by S2 and S3 evaluation, it did not secure the permissible BOD and PO4-P pollution load in the LAR. Besides, as part of an instream measure, a scenario evaluated using the application of rock ramps (S4) resulted in significant reduction of BOD load. All the individual scenarios were not successful and hence an integration of scenarios (S5) was evaluated in LAR that gave a relatively higher pollutant load reduction rate and ultimately was found a better approach to improve pollution loads in the river. In conclusion, pollution load management and control strategy integrally incorporating the use of source-based wastewater treatment, control of diffuse pollution sources through the application of best management practices and the application of instream measures such as the use of cascaded rock ramps could be a feasible approach for better river water quality management, pollution reduction, aquatic life protection and secure sustainable development in the LAR catchment.

The Impact

This study adopted the water quality model [Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP)] to simulate and evaluate the impacts of the opening and closure of an interception system at the tributary of Love River on mainstream water quality. The gates were opened respectively for 4, 12, and 24 hours to assess the impact on biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) in the water bodies of Love River. The WASP model was used to evaluate the self-purification capacity of the river. According to the results of the model estimation, it takes 5 days for NH3-N and BOD in the water bodies of Love River to return to normal and for the water to restore its original water quality after the closure of the Baozhu Ditch gate. Results of this study can be used as a reference for Love River watershed management, and the WASP modeling can be applied for decision makers to develop appropriate management strategies of the interception system.

The objectives of this study are to identify the pollutant sources location, analyze pollution load and pollution load carrying capacity of BOD (Biologycal Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) concentrations;  The QUAL2Kw methods application for modeling process of the main river were divided into nine reach, where Sibayang River (kilometre 86,629) as the headwater and Mentulik village as the downstream boundaries (km 0). The water samples where selected at ten points, with five of them are located at the main river and the rest of five at the tributaries. The modeling used water quality data on pollutant sources as input and the main river water quality data as a comparison.Based on the results of the study, total pollution load of BOD are 4,83 Tons/hour and total pollution load carrying capacity of BOD are 2,65 Tons/hour, it means a pollution load carrying capacity for BOD has been exceeded for 2,18 Tons/hour. The total pollution load of COD are 8,16 Tons/hour and total pollution load carrying capacity of COD are 8,45 Tons/hour, it means a pollution load carrying capacity for COD has not been exceeded and the main river still capable to  recieve the pollution load of COD for 0,29 Tons/hour. Total pollution load of TSS are 55,90 Tons/hour and total pollution load carrying capacity of TSS are 12,45 Tons/hour, it means a pollution load carrying capacity for TSS has been exceeded for 43,45 Tons/hour. Generally total pollution load carrying capacity of BOD and TSS has been exceeded, and a total pollution load carrying capacity for COD has not been exceeded, nevertheless if review is based on river reach, an excessing of BOD pollution load has been occurred at km 18 - 1 for 1, 37 Tons/hour, COD pollution load for 2, 38 Tons/hour at km 45 - 40 and TSS pollution load for 32, 54 Tons/hour in the Teso River
