Study of the Dispersion of Simulated Sewage in the Marine Environment by the Radiotracer Technique: A Case Study

摘要

Domestic sewage from the north Mumbai region is collected in the sumps of the sewage treatment plants at Goregaon and Malad (Figs 1(a) and 1(b)). Screened and degritte sewage is passed through aeration tanks before being discharged into Malad Creek. The Municipal Corporation Brihanmumbai has planned to construct a few aerated lagoons near the mouth of the creek, i.e. at Versova and at Malad, under a water quality management scheme. Studies on the environmental impacts of discharges from the proposed lagoons into the creek were undertaken by the National Environmental Engineering research Institute (NEERI), Mumbai.
