Impact of Wastewater Quality on the Long-Term Acceptance Rate of Soils for On-211 Site Wastewater Disposal Systems

摘要

The overall objective of the research was to assess the effects of various211u001ecomponents of domestic wastewater on soil hydraulic properties. Saturated 211u001ehydraulic conductivity (K(sub sat)) and infiltration rate (IR) for tap water, 211u001ewell water, and four different simulated wastewaters from washing machine, 211u001ekitchen sink, bathroom sink, and shower (bathroom wastewater without toilet 211u001ewastes), and a car wash in a clayey soil, a sandy soil, and one saprolite were 211u001emeasured in situ for five consecutive days using three replications. Saturated 211u001ehydraulic conductivity were measured by the constant-head well permeameter method
