Ammonium Attenuation and Nitrogen Dynamics in Groundwater Impacted By a Poultry Manure Lagoon
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-21)Fertilizer application and manure use practice in agriculture has become one of the most common sources of dissolved nitrogen species to both ground and surface waters. Nitrogen, released as nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+) ... -
Dissolved inorganic nitrogen cycling in a river receiving wastewater: the response to changes in wastewater treatment effluent
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-27)Nitrogen is an essential element for all life forms, but when in excess in an aquatic ecosystem, it can cause an imbalance in the trophic status. A significant amount of nitrogen is released into the environment by wastewater ... -
Persistence of Artificial Sweeteners, Phosphorus and Nitrogen in Three Septic System Plumes with Differing Redox Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-31)Septic systems are widely used for on-site wastewater treatment throughout Canada, including at most of Ontario’s provincial parks. They are frequently located in unconfined aquifer systems that may also be used for water ... -
Quantitative modeling of nitrogen cycling along the river continuum: streambed sediments, reservoirs, and isotopes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-26)The vast release of anthropogenically produced reactive nitrogen (N) into the environment, by agricultural activities, energy production and municipal wastewater, has led to a variety of consequences for atmospheric, ...
