Treating wastewater in the 'world's worst weather'

摘要

Renowned for hosting the 'world's worst weather', Mount Washington in New Hampshire, USA, is an extreme weather enthusiast's dream. Despite its relatively modest height (6288 feet (1886 metres)), the mountain's confluence of steep slopes and north/south orientation make it a lightning rod for passing storms and quickly rising winds. The summit is home to the world's highest recorded surface wind speed, clocked at 231 miles per hour (370 km per hour) in April 1934, and the temperature routinely dips to -50 degrees Fahrenheit (-45.6 degrees Celsius) during the winter.
