[23]

A comparative study of structural and non-structural best

management practices confronting the pollution of water bodies

because of highway runoff

1. Introduction Pollutants commonly found in highway runoff are: (a) solid particles that come from the

transit area of rural roads, dust and debris from the traffic or maintenance operations, (b) heavy metals,

such as cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, iron, chromium and nickel, (c) hydrocarbons like gasoline and oil, (d)

salts and nitrates that appear in winter months due to the use of salt on rural roads and (e) hazardous

substances due to an accident [1,2]. In most European countries the pollution control of highway runoff is

a new area of research. Best management practices (BMPs) are designed for avoiding or mitigating the

negative impacts of various pollutants that can be carried by rainfall into the groundwater and surface

waters. BMPs are divided into structural and non-structural methods. Structural BMPs trap and detain

runoff until pollutants settle out whereas non-structural BMPs are designed to reduce initial concentrations

of pollutants. Structural practices include retention infiltration filtration - vegetative practices, constructed wetlands and retention oil basins. Non-structural methods include the definition of land use in

adjacent areas, vegetative practices, the usage of fertilizers and pesticides and the control of litter and debris

[3].

The mail objective of the paper is an overall consideration of different types of applied remedies. Towards

this purpose each of the main BMPs is first described and categorized according to its applicability and

then a comparative study of all practices is carried out. Characteristics of each BMP such as lifetime, need

of maintenance, constructive cost, applicability and environmental impacts are presented. As for the

structural BMPs, effectiveness and criteria for their evaluation and implementation are examined.

Suitability of each non-structural method for each kind of pollutants is also examined.

2. Results and Discussion Concerning the structural BMPs, the infiltration wells and infiltration trenches present a more efficient performance in the removal of all pollutants in comparison with the other methods.

However, their application includes a high risk of groundwater contamination. Furthermore, sand filters

have the minimal environmental impacts. As for the non-structural BMPs, none of non-structural methods

is able to deal with all kind of pollutants and a combination of several methods is demanded.

3. Conclusions The present study concludes to the following findings. Firstly, a right combination of structural and non-structural practices is required in order to confront the pollution of water bodies due to

highway runoff. Also, the more intensive use of non-structural practices ensures the lower concentration of

pollutants. Finally, the type of implemented practices depends on the consideration of a holistic approach

of the interaction between the highway design and the surrounding landscape.

1. Introduction About 60 deposits of radioactive ore were exploited in Portugal, mostly in the districts of Viseu, Guarda and Coimbra. The extracted ore was transported and processed for chemical separation of

uranium or radium in a reduced number of sites where the milling tailings were accumulated, such as

Urgeiria (Nelas), Cunha Baixa and Quinta do Bispo (Mangualde), and Bica (Sabugal). Most are located

in the catchment areas of Rivers Mondego, Do, Zzere and Tvora. The IST/LPSR (former ITN), in the

fulfilment of duties and obligations under EURATOM Treaty, carries out monitoring of environmental

radioactivity in the areas of old uranium mines. Radioactivity levels determined in water bodies of this

region, including drinking water, irrigation wells and rivers are presented and discussed herein.

2. Experimental - Samples of water from rivers, irrigation wells and from public water supply systems

were collected in the villages and towns in the uranium mining regions. All samples were analyzed by

radiochemistry and the radionuclide measurements, such as those of uranium (238U, 235U, 234U), thorium

(232Th, 230Th), radium (226Ra), radioactive lead (210Pb), and polonium (210Po) made by alpha spectrometry

[1].

3. Results and Discussion - The mining waste and especially the milling tailings from uranium ore

processing contain high radioactivity levels [2]. Acid mine drainage was in general found associated with

high radioactivity levels. For example, in the Bica mine the low water pH showed a clear relationship with

uranium dispersed in groundwater. The acidic surface mine drainage, today is discharged into watercourses

after treatment. In these watercourses, such as Ribeira da Pantanha tributary to River Mondego,

contaminated sediments do exist still but were mostly from past discharges.

In villages close to old uranium mines, water from irrigation wells often showed low pH resulting mainly

from the use of sulfuric acid for in-situ uranium leaching in underground mine. The waters of these wells,

for example in the fields of Cunha-Baixa, displayed high concentrations of dissolved sulfate and uranium

and are not suitable for human consumption and for livestock. Their use in irrigation has caused

radionuclide accumulation in agriculture products [3].

In these villages and towns, drinking water from the tap currently contained relatively low levels of

radionuclides (natural background) with no signs of radioactivity enhancement. Furthermore, this water for

human consumption systematically displayed radioactivity levels below the recommended limits of 1.0

Bq/L and 0.5 Bq/L of total beta and total alpha radioactivity, respectively.

4. Conclusions - Drainage from old uranium mines displayed low pH and high radioactivity and generally

require treatment. Radioactivity levels in streams and rivers receiving mine drainage showed in some areas

radioactive contamination. Currently treated mine drainage contributed to decrease radioactivity levels in

streams and rivers. Water from irrigation wells in some areas was contaminated by mine acid drainage,

such as at Cunha Baixa, and is not suitable for human consumption and for irrigation. Villages with ancient

uranium mines nearby currently have public networks supplying water originating in artificial lakes in

major rivers of the region, such as the lakes of Aguieira, Fagilde, and Cabriz dams. This water showed

compliance with the recommended limits of total alpha and total beta radioactivity and is suitable for human

consumption.

Water self-sufficiency with separate treatment of household rainwater

and greywater

1. Introduction In the developed world, the water collection, treatment and distribution system is commonly centralized in huge installations. For example, water is stored in big dams, transported to water

plants where it is physically and chemically treated and distributed to

consumers by a network of pipes. Once used, wastewater (greywater or

blackwater) is channelled to large treatment plants and is finally returned

to rivers or the sea. This process requires constant maintenance and has

a high energy consumption and environmental impact.

A decentralized water system with separate rainwater and greywater

treatment for a detached house is presented. The design project was

conducted by a student group [1] in an Engineering Project course.

2. Project development The house, located in central Catalonia [2] in an area with L = 690 l/m2 rainfall per year (average = 284 l/day), has a

150 m2 roof provided with a rainwater collection system. If the factor

for the use of rainwater is fp1 = 0.85, an average of lp= (L/365) m2 fp1 = 240 liters of rainwater per day

is available. Some would be purified for drinking, cooking and the dishwasher, and some would simply be

filtered for showers, toilets and the washing machine.

Daily water consumption per person is considered to be 100 l/person/day, 65% of which becomes greywater

(Gr=65 l). If a factor of fp2 = 0.9 is estimated for losses in the process, about 60 l/person are available for

reuse. This water is treated for reuse in toilets, among other possible uses and even could be purified. The

difference between individual consumption, C=100 l, and reusable greywater, C-Grfp2=40 l/person/day,

is the final consumption of water per person, i.e. Cf=60 l. If the available rainwater is lp=240 l/day, could

be N=lp/Cf. The system here described is self-sufficient for N=6 persons.

3. Discussion and Conclusions The decentralization of small-scale water collection and processing is more sustainable than the current large-scale production paradigm because rainwater and recycled water

are used in the same place. This system, however, requires maintenance by end users.

The system is comprised by hydraulic circuits for rainwater, drinkable rainwater, hot filtered rainwater,

greywater, treated greywater, and the sewer. Consumers are required to save water and use efficient

appliances. Moreover, the installation takes up space, consumes energy and needs maintenance.

Logically, rain is of the utmost importance, so periods of drought can be particularly negative. In Catalonia,

rainfall figures range between 350-400 and 1200 l/m2 year [3] which, in the above case, would imply water

self-sufficiency for 3 to 12 people, respectively.

This decentralized system could rely on micro neighbour support networks or small shared rainwater tanks,

among others.

The project work was completed with the calculation of project costs. Specifically, a long payback period

was estimated.

1. Introduction Non-point sources pollution from stormwater runoff of highways are among the most important reasons for the surface and ground waters degradation. The major water quality problems

associated with highways are the erosion runoff during construction and maintenance periods, the

stormwater runoff during the life of the highway, accidents involving hazardous materials, and associated

surface and groundwater contamination [1]. These sources of pollution include atmospheric deposition and

vehicles. The runoff may cause important impacts to the environment since it can transfer various pollutants

like heavy metals, suspended solids, nutrients, hydrocarbons, chlorides etc. These pollutants are washed off

the highway during rainfall events and they have an adverse effect on human beings as well as on flora and

fauna. Heavy metals present little groundwater contamination threat in case of surface infiltration systems

are used in comparison to pesticides which are much more mobile [2, 3].

Surface waters (streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes) are vulnerable due to the fact that they are exposed to

contaminants released into the air and to discharges from point and non-point sources [4]. However, they

are easily accessible for assessment techniques. On the other hand, contamination of ground waters occurs

gradually because contaminants percolate downward through the soil at slow rates, where the ground serves

as a filter. Contamination of ground waters is less visible than that of surface waters, and clean up is quite

difficult and expensive.

In the framework of the present paper, the phenomenon of water bodies pollution due to the highway runoff is examined. The most critical pollutants included in the runoff of the interurban roads together with

the factors affecting their pollutant load are also presented.

2. Results and Discussion The parameters most frequently monitored are sediments and heavy metals due to their adverse impacts in aquatic biota. In some case, where contaminants can also reach ground

waters rather quickly through sinkholes in Karst areas, ground waters are more sensitive to contamination

because runoff passes with little if any infiltration through the soil. Rainfall volume is the most critical

factor that associates with the quality of runoff because it affects all kind of pollutants. Other crucial factors

are the duration and intensity of the rainfall and also the traffic volume which was preceded during the

rainfall event.

3. Conclusions Highway runoff has higher concentrations of many pollutants in comparison to typical urban stormwater. Monitoring pollutant sources in highways should be a crucial consideration during runoff

projects. Washoff during rain events, and fugitive dust losses due to traffic and wind turbulence,

significantly affect the role of different stormwater management practices. The knowledge of pollutant

concentrations is needed in order to design the most appropriate structural and non-structural best

management practices.

Abstract:

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are among the initial 12 POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) under Stockholm Convention. In response to their adverse impacts, PCBs have been eliminated and reduced in production and use for more than 25 years in the UK, which controlled the concentration of PCBs in air and surface water at relatively low levels. In River Thames Catchment, the concentrations of PCBs in water are almost always detected to be lower than the level of EU EQS. However, the concentrations in fishes

were detected to be significantly high. And due to the property of hydrophobicity, PCBs are likely to accumulate in the sediment which contains rich organic compounds. To better understand the current distribution and their potential risk to ecosystem and human health, a level III fugacity model is applied to selected PCB congeners in River Thames Catchment. The performance of the modelling is evaluated

against observed data collected from the Environment Agency WIMS database and a series of biological analyse experiments carried out in University of Lancaster. The modelled concentrations of the selected PCBs in fish and sediment are the highest in the catchment. But, the majority of the PCBs are estimated to locate in the soil.

The fate of PCBs in catchment can also be related to different drivers. Climate change is one of the potential drivers that can alter the fate of PCBs in catchment significantly. We used the fugacity level III model to assess the influence of changes in temperature, wind speed, precipitation patterns, degradations rates, soil properties and other factors that forecast in the two IPCC climate change scenarios on the fate PCBs in River Thames Catchment. There is noticeable difference between the modelled behaviour of PCBs under the two scenarios. Based on the modelling results, management and adaption strategies towards climate change are provided and assessed to provide guidelines for decision making.
