Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Treatment walls are structures installed underground to treat contaminated ground water found at hazardous waste sites. Treatment walls ... are put in place by constructing a giant trench across the flow path of contaminated ground water and filling it with one of a variety of materials (reactive fillings) carefully selected for the ability to clean up specific types of contaminants. As the contaminated ground water passes through the treatment wall, the contaminants are either trapped by the treatment wall or transformed into harmless substances that flow out of the wall. 2, record 1, English, - treatment%20wall

L'Institut de recherche sur les nappes d’eau souterraines a développé un système d’ingénierie pour le traitement passif de la contamination au nitrate provenant d’effluent de système septique. Le traitement s’effectue à la sous-surface à l'intérieur d’une couche réactive de média poreux ou d’un mur qui intercepte l'effluent. La couche réactive est augmentée avec une source de charbon organique sous phase solide qui active la biodégradation du nitrate par dénitrification [...] La barrière réactive peut être installée sous le champ du système septique comme couche horizontale qui empêche le nitrate d’atteindre la table d’eau ou elle peut être installée comme mur vertical pour traiter les descentes existantes de nitrate dans les aquasphères circulant à l'horizontal. 2, record 1, French, - paroi%20drainante

Construction de systèmes d’assainissement dans ces mêmes collectivités, permettant de contrôler les effluents produits par l'accès à l'eau potable. Selon les collectivités, il s’agit soit d’installations particulières(WC, fosse septique et système de rejet des effluents adapté), soit de systèmes collectifs(WC, réseau de collecte "condominial" c'est-à-dire passant en partie privative, et lagunes de traitement). 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9seau%20de%20collecte%20condominial

Pays : Brésil. [...] L’approvisionnement en eau est assuré par des captages en général souterrains, tous munis d’un traitement adapté à la qualité de l’eau brute; la distribution se fait par un réseau complet et des branchements particuliers assortis de compteurs (tous les usages de l’eau, mêmes publics, sont comptabilisés et facturés). L’assainissement est effectué dans l’ensemble des collectivités, hormis quelques rares systèmes autonomes, par un réseau de collecte (de type condominial), un traitement collectif par lagunage, les latrines ayant été construites dans le cadre du projet. 3, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9seau%20de%20collecte%20condominial
