Decentralized Wastewater Treatment: Community Building and the Watershed Agenda   Water Engineering & Management May 2002   Craig Lindell
Decentralized wastewater treatment presents us with a range of possibilities for community preservation and watershed management. However, these possibilities remain obscured by the limitations of the onsite codes and unforeseen by municipal wastewater authorities unaware of decentralization or reluctant to explore its range and potential.

Aeration Performance of Weirs - Part 1   Water Engineering & Management March 2001   Dr. Ahmet Baylar and Tamer Bagatur
Oxygen is vital to the life cycle common to water. It is essential to keep organisms living, to sustain species reproduction and for the development of populations. Oxygen is soluble in water in direct proportion to the partial pressure in the gas phase, while solubility decreases as temperature increases. Salt water holds less oxygen than fresh water. Oxygen enters the water by absorption directly from the atmosphere or by plant photosynthesis. It is removed by respiration of organisms and by organic decomposition. During respiration and decomposition, animals and plants consume dissolved oxygen and liberate carbon dioxide.
