In the anne tindaorada ‘Scanned with CamScanner Response of Streams To Biodegradable Orga The self-purification of natural water systems is a complex process that often javolves Physical, chemical, and biological processes working simultaneously. Chemical and biochemical reactions are conversion processes rather than re- moval processes. The nature, and perhaps phase, of the waste may be changed, put the products remain in the water until physical processes remove them from suspension by sedimentation or by transfer to the atmosphere. This is illustrated py the reaction in Eq. (3-4). Here chemical processes combine iron and phosphate into solid form, and the physical process of sedimentation removes it from sus- peasion, Another example is the metabolism of organics by microorganisms. Biochemical reactions convert the organics to biological solids and other end products that may be recycled several times (Fig. 3-8) before ultimately being incorporated into bottom sediments or released as gases to the atmosphere, both by physical processes. The self-purification processes can be modeled, provided the waste character- istics and the system variables of the water body are known. The modeling process is complicated in lakes and estuaries by dilution and dispersion characteristics that are variable with time. A complete discussion of water-quality modeling is beyond the scope of this text. However, some examples will be used to illustrate the interaction of the physical, chemical, and biochemical processes described earlier. The examples chosen relate to the assimilation of organic material by streams and the resulting’ effects on the oxygen balance and the ecosystem. Al- though these topics are the ones most frequently covered in the literature on natural Purification processes, the reader should be aware that other self-purification Processes, with respect to other contaminants, may be of equal importance. 39 DISSOLVED-OXYGEN BALANCE Dissolved Oxygen is one of the most important constituents of natural water — Fish and other aquatic animal species require oxygen, and a stream lie font 4 Minimum of about 2 mg/L of dissolved oxygen to maintain higher species At least 4 mg/L of dissolved oxygen is required for game fish and some impo a wty fequire more.
