Minor byproduct Hg compounds such as chlorides, oxychlorides, and sulfates, which are water-soluble are generally released downstream in mine runoff, potentially contaminating nearby ecosystems (15− 15−.
Ten of 33 major reservoirs in Thailand are over capacity and are being forced to dump water downstream, according to the government's Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation.
There is good evidence that pharmaceuticals and ingredients of personal care products can spread into the biosphere and reach the food chain: UV filters are present in water downstream of sewage treatment plants (Kupper et al. 2006; Plagellat et al. 2006) in surface waters (Buser et al. 2005, 2006), and they bioaccumulate in fish (Balmer et al. 2005, Buser et al. 2006; Nagtegaal et al. 1997).
As the water uptake for turbines is usually in the hypolimnion, cold water will be discharged downstream during the operation of the power station.
Streams and even some ditches – so long as they are considered tributaries that connect to larger bodies of water downstream– are considered "water of the United States" (also known as #WOTUS), and subject to regulation.
Commonly used in personal care products, triclosan and BPA (456), are endocrine disruptors (457 459) that are often detected in waters downstream in urban areas (460, 461).
· by installing a pipe through the weir, a supply of clean piped water can be supplied downstream from the weir.
A distinction should be made between the following: · Indirect reuse, in which wastewater is first discharged to a receiving natural water system (aquifer, river) and then water is withdrawn downstream.
He acknowledged that there would be reduced water flow downstream, but not enough, he said, to affect fishing.
Burned trees and debris will almost certainly be flushed downstream, fouling irrigation water supplies.
