“…Influence of dyeing and bleaching industries increased the chloride level of ground water and made it not fit for irrigation purpose (Senthilnathan et al 1999) James A. Tindall et al (1994) studied the effects of sewage-sludge disposal at the lowry sewage-sludgedisposal area Colorado, on the ground and surface water quality and to determine the fate of nitrate and chloride from sludge leachates. They also studied the potential for additional leaching from the disposal site area concentration of chloride and nitrate which were used as indicators to determine whether wells were affected by sewagesludge leachate.…”

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape ManagementPublication details, including instructions for authors and subscription information:Abstract. Ground water drawn for various purposes, such as irrigation, drinking and industrial, is constantly on the rise in areas where surface water are sources nowadays scarce due to erratic rainfall and climatic conditions. Chloride and sulphate in ground water increase due to municipal and industrial waste dumped on the ground surface. Elevated concentration of chloride (Cl -) and sulphate (SO 4 -) in surface and ground water are common in all countries, and can serve as indicators of ground water pollution. We have to characterize the most prevalent natural and anthropogenic sources of chloride and sulphate in ground water and explore techniques that could be used to identify their source. There is an urgent need for additional solid-waste management capacity sites in many parts of developing countries. Current design, operation, closure, and post-closure activities for sanitary landfills do not guarantee sufficient public health and environmental protection of the groundwater resources near a landfill. While in the past, sanitary landfills have almost without exception contaminated ground waters in the vicinity of a landfill. Due to scarcity of hand, to many urban localities, people never mind having residents nearby a landfill site. Significant changes must be made in the approach used for landfill of metropolitan solid wastes. Chloride and sulphate may be taken as critical parameters in assessment of ground water quality.

“…In the short term following application, however, nutrients and organic matter in organic amendments are susceptible to transport by runoff, as reported by Westerman et al(1983), McLeod and Hegg (1984), and Edwards and Daniel (1992) for animal manures and by Kladivko and Nelson (1979), Mostaghimi et al (1989Mostaghimi et al ( , 1992, Harris-Pierce et al (1995), and Duncomb et al (1982) for sludge. In the longer term, leaching of nitrate-N (N03-N) can occur, as discussed by Jackson et al (1977) and Adams et al (1994) for animal manures and by Duncomb et al (1982) and Tindall et al (1994) for sludge. Sharpley et al (1993) have also remarked on the potential for increased transport of P in runoff following longterm applications of animal manure.…”

Land application of organic soil amendments can increase runoff concentrations of metals such as Fe and Zn, metalbids such as B and As, and non-metals such as P and S that have the potential for causing adverse environmental impacts. Aluminum sulfate, or alum (Al2(S04)3•(14H2O), can reduce concentrations of some materials in runoff from sites treated with organic amendments. The objectives of this study were to (a) quantify concentrations of selected constituents (Al, As, B, Ca, Cd, Co, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, P, Pb, 5, Se, Ti, and Zn) in runoff from plots treated with horse manure (mixed with stall bedding) and municipal sludge, (b) assess runoff quality effects of alum addition to those treatments, and (c) determine time variations in concentrations of the constituents. Horse manure and municipal sludge were applied to twelve 2.4 by 6.1 m fescue plots (six each for the manure and sludge). Alum was added to three of the manure-treated and three of the sludge-treated plots. Simulated rainfall (64 mmlh) was applied to the 12 treated plots and to three control (no treatment) plots. The first 0.5 h runoff was sampled and analyzed for the constituents described above. Addition of manure or sludge had no effect on runoff concentrations of the majority of constituents. In some cases (e.g., Al, As, Fe, Zn), however, concentrations were near or in excess of threshold values recommended for marine wildlife protection. Alum addition increased runoff of Al, Ca, K, and 5, due likely to its composition and by the addition of lime to counteract the acidity of alum. Concentration decreases of more than 50 percent were noted for P for the horse manure treatment. No alum effect was detected for P in runoff from the sludge-treated plots, possibly due to relatively stable P forms in the sludge. Runoff concentrations of Al, As, Fe, K, Mn, and P followed an approximately first-order decline with respect to time. Runoff concentrations of Ca and 5, however, peaked during the second runoff sample (four minutes following initiation of runoff), suggesting that differences in mobility and/or transport mechanisms exist among the materials investigated.(KEY TERMS: manure; sludge; metals; runoff.)1Paper No.

“…But even properly designed, sludge lagoons present higher risk of negative environmental impact than any other solutions. Possible problems related to operation of sludge lagoons, in most cases refer to high emissions of odours [12] and methane [13], as well as possible contamination of groundwater by leachate [14,15].…”

Ocena oddziaływania lagun osadowych na jakość środowiska wodnego w ich otoczeniuThe main goal of this research was to determine the impact of sludge lagoons collecting sewage sludge from the wastewater treatment plant in Almaty (Kazachstan), on groundwater and surface water quality. After geophysical examination of the study area (including Vertical Electroresistivity Survey and Seismic Survey), there were set three sampling points for examination of groundwater quality, and 2 points for sampling water from the river Almatynka Bol'shaya, winding 250÷500 meters from the borders of lagoons. The results obtained from the analysis of collected samples showed high concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn, PO4 ions and other compounds in groundwater in the vicinity of sludge lagoons. It was also found that in the river section downstream sludge lagoons there were higher concentrations of heavy metals and other contaminants, than in the river section upstream.
