Plume and Sedimentation
For
over two decades, ASL Environmental Sciences has developed considerable
expertise in the mapping and monitoring of discharge plumes with
application to:
- Outflow
from hydro-electric dams.
- Industrial
plants located on coastlines, major rivers and lakes which discharge
effluents.
- Domestic
sewerage facilities.
- Dredged
material disposal.
We
have made detailed flow measurement surveys as part of environmental
studies concerning changing the operation of hydro-electric dams and the effect of this on important fish or other species.
Similar flow measurement surveys have proven useful for studies
of effluent discharge from pulp mills, and fish-processing plants
and for examining the effects of coolant water discharged from thermal
power plants.
We
also have the ability to provide detailed and accurate measurements
of flows, waves and other water properties as part of coastal sediment
studies. Past projects include many studies of sediment transport
and dynamics in coastal areas as part of larger scientific or engineering
design requirements being addressed by our clients. |
