Abstract:

This report summarizes the state of the art of the modeling of wastewater renovation by land treatment. The models discussed are classified based on their use for planning, site selection and cost analysis, and for predicting water and salt transport in soils, nitrogen transport and transformations, phosphorus transport and transformations, virus movement in soils, and toxic metal and trace organic movement in soils. This report compares the different models as to their purpose, input and output data, and status of validation. In addition, the report includes a section on research needs for modeling land treatment of wastewater.
