Alternative strategies for ocean disposal of municipal wastewater and sludge by Norman H. Brooks and James E. Krier.

Abstract

Our knowledge of transport, fates and effects of water pollutants has increased considerably in the last decade and further advances of knowledge are expected. Management of ocean discharges should be directly related to our present understanding of ocean processes, but flexible enough to be adjusted in the l1ght of new research results; in addition, alternate disposal processes to air or land should be evaluated. The ocean disposal option should have technical parity with land and air disposal options.
