App Note: Monitoring Wastewater Flow in Hawaii

Mixing and dilution of effluents discharged into the ocean is an important aspect of health of ocean users and the ecology of the denizens. In an effort to monitor the path of wastewater making its way in to the Pacific water off of Oahu, the EMM2000 Buoy has been selected as a measuring tool for the discharge of pipe effluent (sewage water) 800ft off shore to ensure that the wastewater discharge was in fact moving away from shore to avoid affecting local beaches.
