Waste water plume

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The wastewater plume is a water pollution that is visible below a wastewater discharge point into a body of water, but often only detectable photographically or by chemical methods.

If sewage is discharged into rivers, lakes or the sea, it does not immediately mix with the water there. The wastewater very often forms streaks, water plumes, water bubbles, bodies of water or islands of water that remain poorly or not mixed together and cause biological damage in more or less large areas. Algae and filamentous accumulations of bacteria ( wastewater fungus ) often form in the area of ​​such a plume . Damage in the biological chain can continue to have an effect on the food animals of the shrimp and fish and thus indirectly on them themselves or on their egg and youth stages, which leads to yield losses in the fishing industry. The water quality is sorted according to water quality classes.
