| Abstract | Chao Phraya River and Bangkok Basin are the study areas of
this research. Presently, Chao Phraya River does not meet the water
quality standard, especially in the Bangkok region. The water
quality analysis method was investigated in this research in order
to make a plan of the basin-wide sewerage system to meet the water
quality standard.
In the water quality analysis, a steady state one-dimensional
model was applied to the Basin-wide Sewerage Planning. DO and BOD
were used as the analytical
different method was applied
parameters in the model. The finite
to the model by dividing the river
into a finite number of segments . The coefficient considered in
this research were: dispersion coefficient referring to the Elder's
equation, reaeration rate referring to the O'Connor and Dobbins's
equation and deoxygenation rate deriving from the calibrated result
of measured DO and BOD concentration in the river.
Chao Phraya River in Bangkok region is divided into 33
segments in this model. The results from the model were applied to
planning of the sewerage system on the assumption that the study
area was divided into 7 zones. By considering the river flow rate
of 100 cu.m./sec, t h e pre dicted quality of the river in year 2000
will not meet the water quality standard of ·chao Phraya River. As
a result, the minimum percent removal of organic pollutants by the
sewerage system which should be served in this area are 84%, in
order to comply with the water quality water standard . |
