Abstract
A methodology for the prediction of effluent water quality from the disposal of dredged material in confined areas is presented. The computation method is based on the use of laboratory determination of contaminants in different particle size fractions together with the application of Hazen's theory of sedimentation for longitudinal basins. Hazen's equation is applied to each particle size fraction. The removal efficiency of each parameter can be obtained from the data of suspended solids removal and its concentration in that size fraction. The validity of this methodology has been verified in three active disposal sites.
