There are many waterborne diseases that move downstream into the ocean through human sewage, even some that cause deadly coral diseases, and our goal is to investigate the twin problem of sewage pollution for human health and coral health, particularly inside marine protected areas.
The overall results highlight the problem of sewage discharge into the lagoon and correlation between viral loads and water quality parameters in sewage and lagoon.
On the basis of this work, end-of-storm pipe interceptor sewers of 0.25 m3/s (i.e., 21,600 m3/d) would be effective to tackle the problem of sewage connections and groundwater seepage to storm drains.
Project Arable Biomass Renewable Energy (ARBRE) was a 'flagship' project in the UK to demonstrate electricity generation from dedicated energy crops, employing the high efficiency of gasification combined cycle technology while also contributing to the waste management problem of sewage disposal.
163 As human populations continue to grow and sea level continues to rise, the problem of sewage contamination in the environment will persist in the absence of truly significant interventions and likely grow as a function of human population growth.
