Investigating the effect of algal blooms on water quality in passive wastewater treatment systems
Wastewater stabilization ponds (WSPs) are low-cost, effective and sustainable passive wastewater treatment technologies. However, algal blooms may occur in WSPs under certain conditions, affecting the complex interactions ... -
Modelling the Impacts of Climate Change on the Hydrodynamics and Biogeochemistry of Lake Simcoe, Hamilton Harbour and the Bay of Quinte
(2014-10-03)This thesis focuses on 3 Ontario water bodies (Hamilton Harbour, the Bay of Quinte and Lake Simcoe), which are vital for economic and recreational activities, yet are threatened by eutrophication, which leads to low dissolved ... -
The Role of Algae in Disinfection Processes in Wastewater Stabilization Ponds
This thesis is an investigation of pathogen removal in wastewater stabilization ponds (WSPs). WSPs are sustainable alternatives to conventional wastewater treatment, requiring minimal energy input and low costs. They have ... -
Simulations of Nottawasaga River Plume
Water quality degradation, in the form of undesirable algae, occurs near the Nottawasaga River mouth and along Wasaga Beach, located in southeastern Georgian Bay, Ontario. Runoff from fertilized agricultural areas, in the ...
