DESIGN OF WASTEWATER STORAGE PONDS AT LAND TREATMENT SITES. I: PARALLELS WITH APPLIED RESERVOIR THEORY

This paper shows that the hydraulic loading rate at a land treatment site should be viewed as a random release rule for the wastewater storage pond. It also examines the implicit assumptions and limitations of conventional methods for sizing wastewater storage ponds and demonstrates that these methods are equivalent to so-called deterministic critical period techniques used in reservoir analysis. The paper indicates why techniques developed in applied stochastic reservoir analysis are well suited for solving the wastewater storage problem at a land treatment operation.
