Abstract
Two stabilization pond systems are examined. A sensitivity analysis is undertaken, aimed at investigating the influence of the pond depths on stabilization pond surface area and pond volume for the specific combination of temperature, wastewater characteristics and effluent requirements. The dependencies are presented in a functional form, allowing for the graphical solution of the unit pond volume, area, and hydraulic residence time as a function of the respective pond depths. Based on these graphs, designers can determine the most appropriate depth value for each type of pond that minimizes the required area or volume, or balances excavation versus land acquisition and floor lining costs, taking under consideration the topographic and other local characteristics of the site area.
