Bjorkman Department of Civil Engineering The University of British Columbia 2075 Westbrook Place Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1W5 Canada ii ABSTRACT Water, flowing through beds of refuse in a sanitary landfill, will leach organic and inorganic substances from the fill. These leached substances may be a source of pollution for receiving surface or ground waters. The leachate, before it is diluted by the receiving water, can usually be classed as a very strong waste water; that is, the levels of the waste water parameters COD, Suspended Solids, low dissolved oxygen and turbidity are many times those found in normal, municipal waste water. Added to these foregoing parameters are possible high levels of toxic chemicals and metals.

  • Section 5 – Water Quality and Testing
    SECTION 5 – WATER QUALITY AND TESTING Maintaining water quality is a fundamental role in operating an aquatic facility. The objectives of an operator should be to: • Ensure the water is properly disinfected at all times, to prevent transmission of infectious diseases, • Achieve maximum patron comfort, and • Maximise longevity of the facility structure. Whenever an aquatic facility is available for use, the water needs to contain an adequate level of a chemical that can destroy micro-organisms. By far the most common chemical used for disinfection is chlorine. This material has the advantages of being a relatively low cost, highly effective disinfectant that is readily available. However, chlorine is also a highly reactive chemical, which non-selectively combines with nitrogen-rich pollutants in the water, to produce unwanted chemicals known as chloramines. These give the water a characteristic pungent chlorine-like smell, and irritate the eyes and skin of patrons. Chloramines are also known to be less effective disinfectants than free chlorine. High concentrations of chloramines reduce the overall effectiveness of the chlorination process. The chloramine problem is generally worse in heavily patronised facilities, where patrons add large amounts of urea and other nitrogen-rich bodily wastes to the water. A number of technologies are now available to reduce the levels of chloramines in water. Examples include the use of ozone gas, ultraviolet light irradiation, and the addition of non-chlorine oxidising chemicals to the water. The use of these technologies should be considered for indoor aquatic facilities with significant bather numbers. Chlorine also undergoes significant degradation when exposed to sunlight.
