Meters - High-accuracy Stormwater, CSO Flow Monitoring   Water & Wastes Digest July 2002
Ultrasonic transit-time flowmeters can be used to good effect for meeting specific site monitoring and documentation requirements by providing highly accurate and continuous flowrate measurement during dry- and wet-weather conditions.

Practical Engineering Combined with Sound Operations Optimizes Phosphorus Removal   Water Engineering & Management April 2002   Daniel Bolduc and James Fitch, P.E.
Built in the early 1970s, The Oakland, Maine, Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) treats and discharges approximately 300,000 gallons per day (gpd) of wastewater to the Messalonskee Stream. The facility was designed as a conventional activated sludge secondary treatment system to be used principally for BOD and TSS removals. The secondary effluent enters the Messalonskee Stream upstream of several impoundments. This practice has resulted in a steady decline in the water quality of the stream as evidenced by increased algae blooms and other signs of euthophication in impoundments located downstream of the discharge.
