ABSTRACT

The WSP process design prepared as described in Chapters 10–12 must be ‘translated’ into a physical design. Actual pond dimensions, consistent with the available site, must be calculated; embankments and pond inlet and outlet structures must be designed; and decisions taken regarding preliminary treatment (Chapter 8), how many parallel pond series to have, and whether or not to line the ponds. By-pass pipework, security fences and notices are generally required, and operator facilities should be provided.
