Abstract:

The principal area of contribution by Texas Tech University (TTU) researchers has been the effects of alternate water sources on engineering properties and constructability for transportation activities requiring large quantities of water. This research also focused on legal issues addressing the use of alternate water sources (wastewater from municipal wastewater treatment plants, brine water from oil wells, surface and groundwater that do not meet the drinking water quality standards, and ocean water) in Texas, safety and health concerns of workers and the public, and the impact on the environment by the use of alternate sources of water. Prominent products achieved from the TTU work include: • A review of the major alternate water sources and a summary of their associated critical water quality parameters • A review of potential environmental impacts of alternate water sources and their availability • Determination of construction activities having significant water demands and the associated issue related to performance which might be impacted by the water quality of alternate water sources • Laboratory testing of various soil types to determine allowable ranges of specific parameters and in some cases development of test methods • Model development to predict final soil sulfate content and changes in soil resistivity.
