The Impact

The fluvial nitrogen dynamics at locations around weirs are still rarely studied in detail. Eulerian data, often used by conventional river monitoring and modelling approaches, lags the spatial resolution for an unambiguous representation. With the aim to address this knowledge gap, the present study applies a coupled 1D hydrodynamic–water quality model to a 26.9 km stretch of an upland river. Tailored simulations were performed for river sections with water retention and free-flow conditions to quantify the weirs’ influences on nitrogen dynamics. The water quality data were sampled with Eulerian and Lagrangian strategies. Despite the limitations in terms of required spatial discretization and simulation time, refined model calibrations with high spatiotemporal resolution corroborated the high ammonification rates (0.015 d−1) on river sections without weirs and high nitrification rates (0.17 d−1 ammonium to nitrate, 0.78 d−1 nitrate to nitrite) on river sections with weirs. Additionally, using estimations of denitrification based on typical values for riverbed sediment as a reference, we could demonstrate that in our case study, weirs can improve denitrification substantially. The produced backwater lengths can induce a means of additional nitrogen removal of 0.2-ton d−1 (10.9%) during warm and low-flow periods.

Water Quality Data

A simple methodology based on several key variables of groundwater chemistry is used to create a water quality index (WQI), with the aim of monitoring the influence of industrial and rapid urbanization on a typical rural settlement. The applicability of the constructed indices as an assessment and communication tool is evaluated in a case study of Gajraula and its suburb of JP Nagar district in northern India. The water quality data from 2007 to 2009 were analysed for 12 different locations surrounding Gajraula for two seasons, i.e. wet and dry. Five point rating scale was used to classify water quality for each of the study locations. Rating curves were drawn based on the tolerance limits of drinking waters. In the present study, the WQI demonstrated a modest increase in wet seasons (August to November) than dry seasons (February to June) for all locations with a few exceptions. Hardness, total dissolved solids, NO3−, biochemical oxygen demand, and Fe in most cases were found to be responsible for the decline in seasonal WQI for various locations. However, the WQI around Gajraula varied from 50.6 to 87.7 and was found to be satisfactory except for some locations.

Leachate is a liquid generated by mixing of water with organic and inorganic material found in landfills. This liquid accumulates at the bottom of the landfill and has the potential to percolate through the soil to enter groundwater or other water bodies. Leachate contains various contaminants and toxins that can significantly diminish the quality of water it enters, which can become hazardous to humans and the environment. In this article, the water quality of two towns: Egg Harbor and Middle Township, New Jersey were analyzed and compared. Egg Harbor Township has a landfill located within the town, while the closest landfill to Middle Township is approximately 10 miles away. Water supply for both towns comes from the same aquifer, known as the Kirkwood-Cohansey water table system. The water quality results from community wells within Egg Harbor Township were compared to those of Middle Township. Water quality data for this study is from New Jersey American Water database. Based on the results, the water quality of Egg Harbor Township varies significantly from Middle Township. The levels of contaminants in Egg Harbor Township are much higher compared to Middle Township. Therefore, it can be concluded that communities near landfills, even well monitored and managed ones, are prone to have poorer water quality than those farther away from the landfill.
