Outfall systems and effluent discharges

Convenor: Majid Mohammadian

This special session focuses on the topic of wastewater outfall systems including discharges of domestic, industrial or desalination waste streams to inland and coastal receiving waterways. The planning, design and siting of outfalls is a complex task that relies on many disciplines including oceanography, civil and environmental engineering, marine biology, construction, economics, public relations and social and cultural matters. The primary purpose of the special session is to bring together a broad range of these disciplines and to provide a forum for presentations and discussion relating to recent research and real-life case studies.
