Need pictures of P removal structures for a book!

For those of you who have constructed a P removal structure, I have a favor to ask:  can yous send me pictures?  One of the chapters in the book is dedicated to providing different examples and applications of P removal structures.  I already have a diverse set of examples to include, but the more, the merrier.

If you would be willing to provide a picture to be published in the book, please send it to me at chad.penn@ars.usda.gov  and include a caption and indicate who the picture should be credited to.

Thanks!

Book to be released: Construction and design of P removal structures

A book entitled, "Construction and design of phosphorus removal structures for improving water quality", by C.J. Penn and J. Bowen, will be released sometime in the spring of 2017.   The book will be published by Springer, and is due to them in January of 2017.

Purpose: The purpose of this book is to introduce the P removal structure as a new BMP for reducing dissolved P loading to surface waters from non-point source pollution, provide guidance on designing site-specific P removal structures, and provide instruction on use of the design software, “Phrog” (Phosphorus Removal Online Guidance: www.phrog.okstate.edu).  The book initially provides a review of the nature and sources of non-point source P pollution, examines short and long term solutions to the problem, and provides detailed theory on design and operation of the P removal structure.  As with many areas of study, one of the best methods of communicating concepts is through illustrations and examples.  This book is no exception; several years of experience in studying P sorption and constructing P removal structures at multiple scales and settings is utilized for providing real examples and applications.  With an understanding of the P removal structure established, the reader is instructed on how to obtain all of the necessary inputs for properly designing a site-specific P removal structure for meeting a desired lifetime and performance, or predict the performance and lifetime of a previously constructed P removal structure.   For the readers who possess the Phrog design software or are interested in obtaining it, one chapter is dedicated to detailed use of the software as demonstrated with various examples of structure design and also prediction. 

Audience: Practitioners and policy makers in environmental quality, agriculture, and water quality with regard to reducing non-point source P pollution to surface waters.  This encompasses government agencies such as the USDA, NRCS, and EPA, state and local agencies such as Department of Agriculture, Department of environmental quality, and municipalities, non-profit organizations dedicated to water quality and agriculture, the environmental engineering and consulting industry, and golf course superintendents.
