(Richard I. McCosh, "Recreation Site Selection"...)

The quantity of water flow may be critical ; a stream or pond which is attractive in the springtime may become stagnant or dry in late summer .

(Ross E. McKinney and Howard Edde, "Aerated...)

In the midwest , oxidation ponds are used extensively for the treatment of domestic sewage from suburban areas .

The high cost of land and a_few operational problems resulting from excessive loadings have created the need for a wastewater treatment system with the operational characteristics of the oxidation pond but with the ability to treat more organic matter per unit volume .

Research at Fayette_, Missouri on oxidation ponds has shown that the BOD in the treated effluent varied from 30 to 53 mg / l with loadings from 8 to 120 lb BOD / day / acre .

Since experience indicates that effluents from oxidation ponds do not create major problems at these BOD concentrations , the goal for the effluent quality of the accelerated treatment system was the same as from conventional oxidation ponds .
