EPA released draft ambient water quality criteria recommendations for lakes and reservoirs in May 2020. The draft uses stressor-response models based on new water quality data to derive chlorophyll-a, phosphorus, and nitrogen criteria. It recommends chlorophyll-a criteria ranges for different lake depths to protect aquatic life. Potential criteria derived from models show illustrative phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations corresponding to chlorophyll-a levels. The document's approach raises questions about the validity of nationwide models, adjustment to Texas conditions, and linking chlorophyll-a to nutrient criteria. State regulators will determine how to respond.

DETERMINATION OF NET FLOWS INTO ALMATTI RESERVOIR FROM CWC GAUGE DATA AND RES...
This paper presents the determination of net flows into Almatti reservoir from CWC data and reservoir data. From the study it can be concluded that the average flow in to Almatti will be 574.86 TMC, the maximum inflow will be 1196.8 TMC and the minimum flow will be 166.99 TMC. The flows in annual in deficit years may reduce by about 50 TMC but there is no variation in the good years in the good years as the storage effects will take care of this aspect during good years. It can be concluded that there will be reduction of flows in the June and July flows in the ultimate scenario except in very good years.
Varduhi surmalyan phd thesis summary
This PhD thesis evaluates the water quality of six rivers flowing into Lake Sevan using various indices and develops a new classification system. The aim is to assess factors affecting water quality, define pollutant groups, and establish water quality standards for each river. A higher level of contamination was observed in the Gavaraget River from 2005-2010 due primarily to livestock and domestic sewage. Based on background concentrations, the rivers were classified into three groups with their own water quality standards. Seasonal variations required determining background concentrations and standards separately for different hydrological seasons. It was recommended to increase sampling frequency to monthly and extend the classification system and standards to other rivers flowing into Lake Sevan.

The document summarizes an analysis of the groundwater system beneath the Chico State campus. Six wells were monitored twice during the spring, and slug tests were used to measure hydraulic conductivity. The data characterizes an unconfined aquifer that is being recharged by the nearby Big Chico Creek. Hydraulic conductivity decreases with distance from the creek, and groundwater levels vary more near the creek. The analysis indicates the aquifer is actively recharging and that recharge rates may be increasing.

Al-Hilla River has a great importance to the people in the vicinity which serves as
a main drinking and irrigation source. The aim of the current study is to estimate the
Water Quality Index (WQI) of Al-Hilla River, southern Baghdad using the weighted
arithmetic water quality index method. Water samples were collected from 7 stations
in March in which eight water quality parameters were analyzed: Turbidity, total
dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, concentration of hydrogen ion, electrical
conductivity, chlorides, alkalinity and biological oxygen demand. The calculated WQI
of Al-Hilla River indicates that the river water is unsuitable for drinking which is
majorly attributed to the total dissolved solids and turbidity. This interprets the
condition of the river which can help the local authority in taking action by identifying
the sources of pollution and improving the water quality and stakeholders should be
involved in the decision making and mitigation alternatives.

This study analyzed chloride concentrations in the Pike River watershed in southeastern Wisconsin from 2013-2014. Sampling found that chloride levels exceeded EPA chronic standards in both the river and Pike Creek during spring months due to road salt runoff. Chloride levels in the river have increased since monitoring began in 2007, indicating retention over time. While conductivity measurements correlated somewhat with chloride, ion chromatography will provide a more accurate analysis method. Continued monitoring is needed to improve water quality in the watershed impacted by road salt usage.

The document discusses approaches to estimating reservoir evaporation, including turbulent-transport equations that use either a discontinuous mixing length concept or continuous mixing concept. It also discusses combination methods that simultaneously solve aerodynamic and water balance equations to estimate evaporation. These combination methods account for the effects of advection, which change the water surface temperature and impact sensible transfer, evaporation, and emitted radiation.

Aquifer recharge from flash floods in the arid environment: A mass balance ap...
Estimation of the infiltration/natural recharge to groundwater from rainfall is an important issue in hydrology, particularly in arid regions. This paper proposes the application of The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) mass balance model to develop infiltration (F)–rainfall (P) relationship from flash flood events. Moreover, the NRCS method is compared with the rational and the Ф-index methods to investigate the discrepancies between these methods. The methods have been applied to five gauged basins and their 19 sub-basins (representative basins with detailed measurements) in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia with 161 storms recorded in 4 years. The F–P relationships developed in this study based on NRCS method are: F = 39% P with R2 = 0.932 for the initial abstraction factor, λ = 0.2. However, F = 77% P with R2 = 0.986 for λ = 0.01. The model at λ = 0.01 is the best to fit the data, therefore, it is recommended to use the formula at λ = 0.01. The results show that the NRCS model is appropriate for the estimation of the F–P relationships in arid regions when compared with the rational and the Ф index methods. The latter overestimates the infiltration because they do not take λ into account. There is no significant difference between F–P relationships at different time scales. This helps the prediction of infiltration rates for aquifer recharge at ungauged basins from monthly and annual rainfall data with a single formula.

Analysis of Water Quality Characteristics in Distribution Networks
In this study, a model was developed by Epanet2.0 software to analyze water quality for parameters of hydraulic and water quality model (chlorine concentration and water age model) for a segment of Erbil city WDS by using observed and documented data. Controlling free residual chlorine properly is important to ensure meeting regulatory requirements and satisfying customer needs. For the calibration process and collecting field data digital pressure loggers for recording pressure in a WDS was installed. For discharge measurements, ultrasonic flow meters were used. To assure the reliability of the model a calibration process was carried out for extended period analysis and several alternatives had been studied as a solution to overcome negative pressure zones by the calculated Hazen William C-factor. This kind of study can be used to predict so many infrastructure projects.

Assessing the ability of SWAT as a water quality model in the Lake Victoria b...
There is a need for a water quality model for use in the Lake Victoria basin countries in East-Africa. The
region is characterised by data scarcity, a tropical climate and riverine, lacustrine tidal wetlands which form
an important buffer to riverine pollution of the lake. These characteristics of the basin form a challenge for
water quality models. The objective is to state the strengths and weaknesses of a potential water quality
model under these challenging conditions. This objective is executed with the soil water assessment tool
(SWAT) in a catchment of the Lake Victoria Basin as pilot area. The pilot area of the Mara river basin is
hydrologically complex containing tropical and plantation forest, savanna, grasslands, bi-annual agriculture,
shrublands and wetlands. It has varied soil types and bi-annual rain seasons
The study consist of literature research and flow simulation of the transboundary Mara river basin. The
model study aims to characterise the hydrology in the pilot area. The study includes a thorough analysis of
rainfall, stage and flow data. Model preparation steps include the use of weighted-area rainfall estimation
methods, climate model data and empirical derivation of soil input parameters. Discharge calibration
methods include multi-site calibration, by making use of an alternative objective function statistic for the
commonly used Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) called the Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE). The literature study
targets previous flow and water quality studies done in tropical or wetland areas, thereby looking to see how
these studies adapted to hydrological modelling with SWAT in tropical or wetland areas, and why theses
adaptions were made. The literature research also includes a comparison of wetland processes in SWAT
with the physical, biological and chemical processes as described in previous studies.
The Mara river basin flow simulation gave a satisfactory model performance for two out of three calibration
sites, thereby being able to give preliminary outputs on water-balance and other flow characteristics. During
research, a number of model, knowledge and data gaps were found to be critical for better understanding
the hydrological and water quality system workings in the Lake Victoria and Mara river basin. From the
model and literature study it is concluded that several issues on data scarcity and hydrological model
processes in the tropics can be overcome. These do not necessarily decrease model performance or
uncertainty in the SWAT model. However, wetland processes are oversimplified in SWAT. Modification and
coupled SWAT models yet have not been able to provide an alternative to the default model that adequately
represents the main flow, sediment and nutrients processes and fluxes that are present in Mara’s wetlands.

shrublands and wetlands. It has varied soil types and bi-annual rain seasons
The study consist of literature research and flow simulation of the transboundary Mara river basin. The
model study aims to characterise the hydrology in the pilot area. The study includes a thorough analysis of
rainfall, stage and flow data. Model preparation steps include the use of weighted-area rainfall estimation
methods, climate model data and empirical derivation of soil input parameters. Discharge calibration
methods include multi-site calibration, by making use of an alternative objective function statistic for the
commonly used Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) called the Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE). The literature study
targets previous flow and water quality studies done in tropical or wetland areas, thereby looking to see how
these studies adapted to hydrological modelling with SWAT in tropical or wetland areas, and why theses
adaptions were made. The literature research also includes a comparison of wetland processes in SWAT
with the physical, biological and chemical processes as described in previous studies.
The Mara river basin flow simulation gave a satisfactory model performance for two out of three calibration
sites, thereby being able to give preliminary outputs on water-balance and other flow characteristics. During
research, a number of model, knowledge and data gaps were found to be critical for better understanding
the hydrological and water quality system workings in the Lake Victoria and Mara river basin. From the
model and literature study it is concluded that several issues on data scarcity and hydrological model
processes in the tropics can be overcome. These do not necessarily decrease model performance or
uncertainty in the SWAT model. However, wetland processes are oversimplified in SWAT. Modification and
coupled SWAT models yet have not been able to provide an alternative to the default model that adequately
represents the main flow, sediment and nutrients processes and fluxes that are present in Mara’s wetlands.

Malkapur implemented India's first 24/7 water supply scheme in 2010, sourcing water from the Koyana river. The scheme provides over 5,600 connections with 110 liters per capita per day (lpcd) of water. It was designed to meet the needs of a projected 2021 population of 61,000. Upgrades from previous intermittent schemes included new pipelines, water treatment infrastructure, and an automated meter reading system. The successful public-private partnership project has resulted in many benefits like reduced water wastage, electricity savings, and better water quality and services.
Groundwater Management
This document outlines groundwater management strategies for municipal officials. It notes that while the region receives abundant precipitation, local overuse and water quality problems are still possible if left unmanaged. It then describes a model groundwater protection ordinance that has been adopted by several Dutchess County towns. The ordinance establishes development standards and best practices to safeguard both groundwater quantity and quality. These include regulating certain land uses, prohibiting new underground fuel tanks, guidance for cluster subdivisions, and more rigorous pumping test requirements. The model aims to preserve aquifer and stream flows while also addressing issues like pharmaceutical contamination and climate change impacts. Towns can adopt this law or planning boards can apply its guidance under the State Environmental Quality Review Act.

3D flow patterns at the river–aquifer interface - a case study at Cikapundung...Dasapta Erwin Irawan
The three-dimensional groundwater flow patterns in the riverbank of Cikapundung were investigated and are discussed in this paper. The observed groundwater level gradients are highly dynamic and respond very quickly to changes in the river water levels. A variably saturated groundwater model was calibrated to the data to describe the complex dynamics of flow in the riverbank. The model results suggest that short-term (6–48 h) fluctuations of river water levels cause variations in the exchange flow rates from −35 l/s to 82 l/s. The highest rates occur during brief infiltration after rapidly rising river water levels. Simulations of different scenarios indicate that riverbank clogging will decrease the exchange fluxes by up to 80%, while clogging of both riverbank and riverbed essentially stops the flow exchange, due to the thin layers of clays and lavas at various spots. The groundwater model is also used to simulate the transport of a conservative tracer. The variation of river water levels over time is shown to increase the extent of the active river–aquifer mixing zone in the riverbank. These dynamic factors significantly enhance the dilution of conservative tracer concentrations in this zone.Alternative Usage Cases for Pressure Retarded Osmosis Power Generation

The Intersection of Environment and EOR: How Carbon Capture is Changing Terti...Society of Petroleum Engineers
Increasing interest by governments worldwide on reducing CO2 released into the atmosphere form a nexus of of opportunity with enhanced oil recovery which could benefit mature oil fields in nearly every country. Overall approximately two-thirds of original oil in place (OOIP) in mature conventional oil fields remains after primary or primary/secondary recovery efforts have taken place. CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2 EOR) has an excellent record of revitalizing these mature plays and can dramatically increase ultimate recovery. Since the first CO2 EOR project was initiated in 1972, more than 154 additional projects have been put into operation around the world and about two-thirds are located in the Permian basin and Gulf coast regions of the United States. While these regions have favorable geologic and reservoir conditions for CO2 EOR, they are also located near large natural sources of CO2.
In recent years an increasing number of projects have been developed in areas without natural supplies, and have instead utilized captured CO2 from a variety of anthropogenic sources including gas processing plants, ethanol plants, cement plants, and fertilizer plants. Today approximately 36% of active CO2 EOR projects utilize gas that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere. Interest world-wide has increased, including projects in Canada, Brazil, Norway, Turkey, Trinidad, and more recently, and perhaps most significantly, in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. About 80% of all energy used in the world comes from fossil fuels, and many industrial and manufacturing processes generate CO2 that can be captured and used for EOR. In this 30 minute presentation a brief history of CO2 EOR is provided, implications for utilizing captured carbon are discussed, and a demonstration project is introduced with an overview of characterization, modeling, simulation, and monitoring actvities taking place during injection of more than a million metric tons (~19 Bcf) of anthropogenic CO2 into a mature waterflood.
Longer versions of the presentation can be requested and can cover details of geologic and seimic characterization, simulation studies, time-lapse monitoring, tracer studies, or other CO2 monitoring technologies.

A Framework for Setting Realistic Expectations for Water Quality Improvements...Soil and Water Conservation Society
This document presents a framework for setting realistic expectations for water quality improvements based on changes in agricultural activities. The framework considers how chemicals and sediment from fields enter the stream network through different flowpaths like surface runoff, subsurface drainage, and groundwater. It also accounts for how the chemical behavior of different substances influences their transport. The framework can be used to evaluate how specific agricultural management practices might affect water quality in different hydrologic settings by trapping, reducing, or removing chemicals and sediment. Examples are given to illustrate how the framework can set expectations for practices like buffer strips and no-till tillage.9/9 FRI 11:00 | EPA's Numeric Nutrient Criteria 1

Texas is experiencing increasing extreme weather trends according to a state climatologist study. Monthly summer temperatures are seeing more 100 degree days with each little rise in average temperatures. Precipitation trends over the past century show increases across most of the state of 5-15% per century. Droughts and floods depend on a combination of factors including rainfall amounts, temperatures, timing of rain, and how much water plants need. The trends towards higher temperatures are enhancing evaporation and severe weather is increasing but not well understood. Everything fits together complicatedly to impact floods and droughts. A likely La Niña winter also tilts the odds toward a dry winter for Texas.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

EPA’s Draft Ambient Water Quality Criteria Recommendations for Lakes and Reservoirs, Rex Hunt - Plummer Associates, Inc.
- 1. EPA’s DRAFT AMBIENT WATER QUALITY CRITERIA RECOMMENDATIONS for LAKES and RESERVOIRS Back on the menu Rex Hunt, PE – Plummer Associates June 17, 2020 EPA’s New Criteria Document: • Released May 2020; Comments due July 21, 2020 • Unclear how fast the EPA might move to finalize new criteria • Impact on Texas lake managers and Texas wastewater dischargers remains to be seen
- 2. WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS City of Oklahoma City | PLUMMER • Stressor-response models instead of reference water bodies • Using new standardized, high quality WQ data obtained since 2000 • Draft criteria models are “nonregulatory”* *…..if a state uses its discretion to not adopt new or revised nutrient criteria based on these CWA Section 304(a) criteria models, then the state shall provide an explanation when it submits the results of its triennial review.” • Assessment Endpoints Applicable to Texas Lakes EPA’s WQ CRITERIA DOCUMENT-HIGHLIGHTS
- 3. WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS City of Oklahoma City | PLUMMER • Draft chlorophyll-a criteria for all lakes/reservoirs • Based on modeled relationship between zooplankton and phytoplankton • Based on modeled microcystin relationship to chlorophyll-a POTENTIAL CHLOROPHYLL-a CRITERIA Chlorophyll-a Criteria for all lakes (3 Depth Classes) <3.2 m (~10 ft) 3.2 – 7.2 m (~10 – 24 ft) >7.2 m (~24 ft) 41 to 48 ug/L 22 to 36 ug/L 13 to 16 ug/L Chlorophyll-a Criteria for protection of Microcystin targets For Recreation MC target = 8 ug/L For Drinking Water MC target = 0.3 ug/L 2-35 ug/L 0.1-2 ug/L
- 4. WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS City of Oklahoma City | PLUMMER POTENTIAL NUTRIENT CRITERIA Figure 28. Illustrative Example of Deriving TP Criteria Chl-a=20 ug/L; TP=~35 to 45 ug/L Chl-a=10 ug/L; TP=~15-22 ug/l Figure 32. Illustrative Example of Deriving TN Criteria Chl-a=20 ug/L; TN=~250 to 500 ug/L Chl-a=10 ug/L; TN=~100 to 400 ug/L NOTE: These nutrient criteria would be in-lake concentrations, not effluent limits for wastewater discharges.
- 5. WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS City of Oklahoma City | PLUMMER INITIAL TAKEAWAYS 1. Stressor-Response model approach is better than the reference water body approach previously used; but are the models valid? Correlation does not necessarily mean causation. 2. The wide geographic range of data used by EPA may need to be adjusted to fit Texas conditions. 3. TCEQ should be able to use the data it wants to use. 4. The assessment end point for all lakes (rate of change of zooplankton to phytoplankton) could be a problem if you intend to develop your own database to justify criteria. 5. Cyanobacteria as a risk indicator of microcystin is not always reliable. 6. The leap from chlorophyll-a concentrations to nutrient criteria for phosphorus and nitrogen is problematic.
- 6. WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS City of Oklahoma City | PLUMMER • Discuss with colleagues: • Is the approach appropriate for protection of lakes? • Are the nutrient criteria achievable in wastewater treatment? • Discuss with TCEQ • What will their response be to this proposal? • Comment on the draft: Comments are due July 21 to EPA WHAT SHOULD WE DO UNTIL THEN?
