This paper describes changes in effluent quality occurring before and after an upgrade to the Bolivar Wastewater Treatment Plant in South Australia. Trickling filters (TF) were replaced with an activated sludge (AS) plant, prior to tertiary treatment using waste stabilisation ponds (WSPs). The water quality in the WSPs following the upgrade was significantly improved. Reductions in total and soluble BOD, COD, TKN, suspended solids and organic nitrogen were recorded and the predominant form of inorganic nitrogen changed from NH4-N to NO2/NO3-N. The reduction in ammonium and potentially toxic free ammonia removed a control upon the growth of zooplankton, which may have contributed to decreases in algal biomass in the final ponds and consequently lower dissolved oxygen. Additionally, changes in inorganic nitrogen speciation contributed to a slightly elevated pH which reduced numbers of faecal coliforms in WSPs. The AS pretreated influent recorded significantly lower inorganic molar N:P ratio (10–4:1) compared to those fed with TF effluent (17–13:1). Algae within the WSPs may now be nitrogen limited, a condition which may favour the growth of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. The decrease in algal biomass and in dissolved oxygen levels may enhance sedimentary denitrification, further driving the system towards nitrogen limitation.

In the federal state of Hesse in Germany the application of an integrated software modelling framework is becoming part of the planning process to attain legal approval for the operation of combined sewer systems. The software allows for parallel simulation of flow and water quality routing in the sewer system and in receiving rivers. It combines existing pollution load model approaches with a simplified version of the River Water Quality Model No. 1 (RWQM1). Comprehensive simulation of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is not considered yet. The paper analyses alternatives for the implementation of a WWTP module to model activated sludge plants. For both primary and secondary clarifiers as well as for the activated sludge process concepts for the integration into the existing software framework were developed. The activated sludge concept which uses a linearized version of the well known ASM1 model is presented in detail.

The use of magnetizers for the treatment of irrigation water can be used in agriculture as an alternative to increase the growth and yield of several crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation depths and magnetic treatment of water on eggplant crop cultivated in protected environment. The study was carried out in two experiments, in the first one, the design was completely randomized with four replications and two factors: water depths (50, 75 and 100% ETc) for two water qualities (water treated by magnetizers and water without treatment). In the second one, the design was completely randomized with five replicates and two factors: water depths (75 and 100% ETc) for two irrigation water treatment (water treated by magnetizers and water without treatment). In the second experiment was ignored the treatment of 50% of ETc in order to increase the number of repetitions to check if there are differences between water treated to water without treatment. There were no significant differences in eggplant yield and growth as function of the magnetic treatment of water. The water depth that provided the highest yield, number of fruits per plant and stem dry matter in the two experiments was 100% ETc regardless of water quality.
