    Taking the "waste" out of "wastewater" for human water security and ecosystem sustainability (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-08-11
    Description: Humans create vast quantities of wastewater through inefficiencies and poor management of water systems. The wasting of water poses sustainability challenges, depletes energy reserves, and undermines human water security and ecosystem health. Here we review emerging approaches for reusing wastewater and minimizing its generation. These complementary options make the most of scarce freshwater resources, serve the varying water needs of both developed and developing countries, and confer a variety of environmental benefits. Their widespread adoption will require changing how freshwater is sourced, used, managed, and priced.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grant, Stanley B -- Saphores, Jean-Daniel -- Feldman, David L -- Hamilton, Andrew J -- Fletcher, Tim D -- Cook, Perran L M -- Stewardson, Michael -- Sanders, Brett F -- Levin, Lisa A -- Ambrose, Richard F -- Deletic, Ana -- Brown, Rebekah -- Jiang, Sunny C -- Rosso, Diego -- Cooper, William J -- Marusic, Ivan -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Aug 10;337(6095):681-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1216852.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, E4130 Engineering Gateway, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-2175, USA. sbgrant@uci.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22879506" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Dynamics of shallow-water populations of Octopus dofleini (1984)
    Springer
    Marine biology 82 (1984), S. 65-72

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Octopus dofleini (Walker) is a common inhabitant of shallow subtidal communities in the Northeast Pacific. The abundances of octopuses at two sites monitored since 1977 have fluctuated greatly during this period. The populations reached high abundances in mid-summer and, during some years, mid-winter. The highest abundances at the two sites did not coincide. There was a constant influx of new octopuses into both study sites, with the greatest immigration occurring in early summer. The octopuses captured spanned a wide range of weights every month, with no clear size classes or seasonal trends in size. The weights of newly-captured octopuses, however, did differ between the sexes and seasons: males weighed more on the average than females, and male weight decreased from winter to fall while female weights did not change O. dofleini appeared to recruit throughout the year; the smallest octopuses occurred between May and November and the greatest number of small octopuses was found in July and August in most years. Females predominated at both study sites throughout the year. However, males predominated among octopuses caught in traps at nearby locations, suggesting that the skewed sex ratios were due to behavioral differences between the sexes.

    Influence of an artificial reef on the surrounding infaunal community (1990)
    Springer
    Marine biology 107 (1990), S. 41-52

    Notes: Abstract Artificial reefs have been constructed throughout the world, but their effects on adjacent soft-bottom communities are largely unknown. In December 1986, we investigated the influence of Pendleton Artificial Reef (PAR) in Southern California on the abundance of infauna in the surrounding sand bottom. PAR was constructed in 1980 of quarry rock placed in eight piles, or modules. The artificial reef altered the grain-size distribution of sediments around the reef; sediments close to the modules were coarser than those 10 or 20 m away from the modules. Densities of one of the two most common species, the polychaetePrionospio pygmaeus, were lower near the reef, perhaps due to foraging by reef-associated predators or because the habitat near the reef was less suitable. We found no evidence that foraging by reef-associated fishes caused a widespread reduction in infaunal densities near the reef, and in fact the other most common taxon,Spiophanes spp., had higher densities near the reef. The most conspicuous effect of the artificial reef concerned the tube-dwelling wormDiopatra ornata, which only occurred in close association with the modules. In addition, total infaunal density and the densities of decapods, echinoderms and sipunculids were higher withinD. ornata beds than outside the beds. These results indicate that the densities of some species were enhanced, and others depressed, around the reef, but that the overall effect of the artificial reef on the surrounding infauna was limited to a small area near the modules.

    Design aspects and plant species affect pollutant removal in Southern California stormwater biofilters (2020)
    IWA Publishing

    Publication Date: 2020-01-01
    Description: We conducted a column study to better understand the relative effects of plants, design elements, and operating conditions on pollutant removal in stormwater biofilters in southern California under local conditions. We planted five southern California native species (Baccharis pilularis, Carex praegracilis, Juncus patens, Leymus condensatus, and Muhlenbergia rigens) in experimental biofilter columns fitted with a saturated zone and evaluated pollutant removal during weekly dosing and following a 52-day dry period. Columns planted with C. praegracilis and J. patens were also evaluated under conditions of fortnightly dosing and without the presence of a saturated zone. During weekly dosing, planted columns had a total nitrogen removal efficiency of 46% on average whereas removal was 8% in unplanted columns. B. pilularis and M. rigens performed better than other species at nitrogen removal. The presence of a saturated zone improved nitrogen removal and metal removal, but only before the 52-day dry period. With a few exceptions, local best management practice effluent concentrations limits were exceeded but performed similarly to existing southern California biofilters. Nitrogen removal decreased slightly under a fortnightly dosing frequency, which better represented rainfall event frequency in Los Angeles when compared to weekly dosing.
