Environmental Perspectives: Water Quality and Its Management [Water quality is judged by water’s chemical constituent concentrations and general quality parameters, like dissolved oxygen and suspended solids, against water quality criteria established for the intended use of the water, which can vary from water supply to industrial discharge conveyance. Water quality management is the control of discharges, both point and nonpoint sources, to the extent necessary to maintain intended water quality criteria. Wastewater treatment uses various approaches and control technologies, depending on the nature of the wastewater and the degree of required treatment, to attain the control required to ensure the intended receiving water quality. Water quality in the USA is managed primarily through Clean Water Act regulations, which include permit requirements for all discharges.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Water quality is judged by water’s chemical constituent concentrations and general quality parameters, like dissolved oxygen and suspended solids, against water quality criteria established for the intended use of the water, which can vary from water supply to industrial discharge conveyance. Water quality management is the control of discharges, both point and nonpoint sources, to the extent necessary to maintain intended water quality criteria. Wastewater treatment uses various approaches and control technologies, depending on the nature of the wastewater and the degree of required treatment, to attain the control required to ensure the intended receiving water quality. Water quality in the USA is managed primarily through Clean Water Act regulations, which include permit requirements for all discharges.]
