Animal Waste Containment in Lagoons

by Lakshmi N. Reddi, American Society of Civil Engineers Staff

Overview

Prepared by the Animal Waste Containment Committee of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE.

Animal Waste Containment in Lagoons provides a comprehensive view of the state-of-the-art practice of animal waste containment and gives directions for future research techniques. Topics Include:

• Fate of nitrogen compounds in animal waste lagoons;
• Seepage and transport through anaerobic lagoon liners;
• Clogging of animal waste lagoon liners;
• Evaluating seepage losses and liner performance at animal waste lagoons using water balance methods;
• Use of coal combustion by-products as low permeability liners for manure storage facilities; and
• Air quality issues associated with livestock production.

Practitioners in the following disciplines: water resources, environmental, geotechnical, and agricultural engineering will find this manual to be very beneficial.
