Computational Investigation of the Ranges of Wastes Digested by Different Water Sources

Author(s): NN Subrahmanyeswara Rao

Pollution of water is still a major concern across the globe. Different studies have shown the cause of pollution as the discharge of untreated industrial wastes, consumption of many things, and lack of efficient waste management. All the water sources somehow managed to survive based on their purification capacities. But continuous discharge of different types of wastes made the existing condition of sources still worse. This triggered the need to test the limits of discharged wastes into the sources within their ability to purify themselves. The author carried out this using MATLAB simulations along with the existing literature on different parameters of the sources. Profiles of dissolved oxygen (DO) and variation of critical times with the type of waste were reported. This study provides the limits of waste to be discharged into different water sources there by will offer some guidance for the discharge of waste into these sources.
