", "abstract": "Outfall pipes into the ocean are analogous to chimneys in the atmosphere: they are each intended for returning contaminated fluids to the environment in a way that promotes adequate transport and dispersion of the waste fluids. A waste-water treatment plant and an adjoining outfall constitute a system for environmental control; it is practically never feasible to provide such complete treatment that an outfall is not necessary, nor is it common to depend entirely on an outfall with no treatment. \n\nAlthough outfalls and chimneys are functionally similar, there are important differences in their relationships to the coastal waters and atmosphere respectively. Urban and industrial areas, generating waste water, are located along the shallow edge of the ocean, with often tens or even hundreds of kilometers of continental shelf between the shoreline and the deep ocean. The bottom slope on the shelf is typically less than one percent. Thus outfalls extending several kilometers offshore discharge into a body of water of large lateral extent compared to the depth, and are still remote from the main body of ocean water. \n\nIn contrast, most atmospheric contaminants are introduced at the base of the atmosphere and circulate throughout the whole atmosphere much more readily. Vertical convection mixes the troposphere rapidly in most places and the wind\nsystems circulate the air around the globe in a matter of weeks. \n\nOutfalls and chimneys are useful in reducing pollutant concentrations only locally. Far away from the sources, it makes little difference how the pollutants are discharged. The decay times of the pollutants are important in the choice of effective discharge strategies. For example, the problems of very persistent contaminants such as DDT cannot be alleviated by dispersion from an outfall; such pollutants must be intercepted at the source and prevented from entering the environment. On the other hand, degradable organic wastes, as in domestic sewage, may be effectively disposed of through a good ocean outfall. Since the decay time is only a few days, potential problems are only local, and not regional or global.", "date": "1975-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics", "volume": "7", "publisher": "Annual Reviews", "pagerange": "187-211", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:KOHarfm75", "issn": "0066-4189", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:KOHarfm75", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NSF", "grant_number": "GK35774X" } ] }, "doi": "10.1146/annurev.fl.07.010175.001155", "primary_object": { "basename": "KOHarfm75.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/caqtw-v3b65/files/KOHarfm75.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "1975", "author_list": "Koh, Robert C.
