Analysis of Groundwater Quality Parameters of Part of Nanded City, Maharashtra State (India)
Abstract: In Nanded township, generally the water is drawn from the shallow aquifers. As the soil thickness is more and because of its permeable and porous nature, the effluent water percolates into the ground and contaminates the groundwater. In this assessment, the physicochemical parameters like pH, calcium, chloride, alkalinity, total hardness, and salinity are determined by following the standard procedures given by Trivedi and Goel (1986). The sources of these contaminants …

Hyphomicrobium Transport in Heterogeneous Coarse Formation Influenced by Porosity
Abstract: Hyphomicrobium transports were monitored at different litho structure in deltaic depositions. The study is to determine their rates of migration in heterogeneous predominant porous medium in the study area. The deposition of Hyphomicrobium migration experienced lag phase in some region of the formation. Fluctuation was also observed base on the reflection of heterogeneous porosity. The migration in shallow depth may also be affected by high acidic [PH] in the soil …

Thornthwaite’s Potential Evapotranspiration Rate Assessment and Implication on Rainfall Induced Floods in a Coastal Expanse of Nigeria
Abstract: This study examined the potential evapotranspiration (PET) rate effects on rainfall-induced floods within Port Harcourt, a coastal city in Nigeria. Mean monthly rainfall and air temperature data for 39 years (1979–2018) was sourced from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency and used to evaluate the potential evapotranspiration (PET) of the area using the Thornthwaite’s method. Results revealed that the mean rainfall and PET values for Port Harcourt during the periods under review …

Performance Appraisal of Two-stage On-site Domestic Wastewater Treatment System under Ambient Environment
Abstract: AbstractThe rapid growth in population has rendered the centralized sewerage systems a non-realistic option in sparsely populated areas. Consequently, an on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) is a viable alternative and cost-effective solution of sewerage system. Septic tanks with soil absorption systems are a simple mean of onsite treatment of the domestic wastewater. However septic tanks have low treatment efficiency along with several technical and constructional drawbacks. In order to improve …

Solid Waste Management System in Pabna Municipality of Bangladesh: A Case Study
Abstract: The increasing quantity of solid waste is a growing environmental problem in many developing countries like Bangladesh. Solid waste is indiscriminately dumped on roadsides, near dustbins and into open drains thus leading to serious health risk and degradation of living environment for people of most cities like Pabna. This paper presents the existing solid waste management system of Pabna municipality. Primary data were collected from householders and waste workers through …

Experimental analysis of quaternary cement binder
Abstract: As concrete structure emitted large amount of carbon dioxide in the environment, to reduce these emition, need to minimize use of cement by using supplementary cementious material such as fly ash, silica fume, rice husk, ground granulated blast furnace slag etc. As quaternary blended cement concrete is prepared by replacing of cement with cementious material is good option for this. In this research quaternary blended cement concrete prepared by using …

Comparative Study between Conventional and High Strength Concrete
Abstract: The current trend of use of superlatives in concrete technology may strike as somewhat disconcerting to many. We had high strength concrete, hyper-plasticizer, and super plasticizers, very reactive Pozzolana, and now high performance concrete. It is difficult to imagine any concrete being manufactured and used, which is not intended to perform to the extent; high performance concrete is not a new material of construction. The sole distinction is the level …
