A marine waste water dump control system for noncommercial nonmetallic or fiberglass boats that provides a system and process for automatically monitoring the time, exact location, and quantity of blackwater, greywater or bilgewater (marine water waste) is dumped from such a water vessel and for requesting and receiving approval or disapproval for dumping marine water waste into restricted or unrestricted waters, including oil water and the like. The instant invention has an MS (Automatic Information System) or comparable communication system that operates at approximately 160 MHz for determining the exact distance from shore and communicating with marine authorities, such as the Coast Guard, before activating the dump control system and communication. The dump control system of the instant invention automatically stores all dumping related information in memory for access by authorities at any time in the event a vessel does not include an AIS or a working AIS. The instant invention also determines from existing shoreline beacons and a triangulation method the exact distance a water vessel is from the shore. The system may be applied to any and all holding tanks on a marine vessel containing pollutants such as black water, gray water, bilge water, oil water and the like.

A distributed utility system includes water source supply lines capable of being placed in fluid communication with a separate water source, water discharge lines capable of being placed in fluid communication with a separate water discharge destination, a water source and destination control manifold to allow selected water source supply lines to be placed in fluid communication with selected water discharge lines, and a storm water collection and distribution system. The storm water system includes a storm water collection conduit and a collected storm water discharge line in fluid communication with the storm water collection conduit, and the storm water discharge line can be placed in fluid communication with the plurality of water discharge lines via the control manifold.

A system for flood water or water flow mitigation includes at least one aqueduct or drain having a first section linking a river, lake, reservoir, water retention pond or dam to another section linked to another lake, reservoir, storage tank or sea, characterized in that the first section are positioned at higher than the other section, and the aqueducts or drains are configured to be placed above ground level or extend upward from sides of river or existing drain, such that invert levels of the aqueducts or drains are higher than sea levels during high tide flooding or sea level increases.

A sediment control system for a contaminated source, comprising an intake system for reversibly diverting flow from the contaminated source to a pipeline extending from the intake system to a plurality of spaced discharge outlets in a low turbulence zone within a water body to minimize mixing of the contaminated source flow with the water body. The source may be a stream, an industrial discharge, a construction site siltation settlement pond, a community storm drain, or a mine tailings source, The water body may be a lake, an ocean, a settlement pond, or a water reservoir.

A stormwater system for capturing and retaining trash and debris entrained in the stormwater. The stormwater system includes an outlet pipe disposed adjacent a stormwater pond. A bag-type filter is secured to the outer end portion of the outlet pipe for catching and retaining trash and debris and preventing the trash and debris from being discharged into the stormwater pond.

Sewage flowing into a second water branching device is accurately controlled to separate into the following: sewage with a maximum sewage volume that can be discharged into a public water body W, the sewage sequentially passing through a first regulating tank, a first orifice, a second regulating tank, a second orifice, a third regulating tank and a third orifice to flow into a second discharge pipe; and sewage with an excess sewage volume, the sewage overflowing first to third overflow weirs to flow into an inflow pipe for a regulating reservoir.

A bioretention system includes a number of connected wall portions defining an enclosure. Each wall portion includes a pair of spaced supports that support one or more panels that are interlocked with the pair of supports via mating interlocking features. Where a wall portion includes an upper panel atop of a lower panel, a lower edge of the upper panel and a top edge of the lower panel are in contact with each other to form the wall portion. The supports are then connected in spaced relation on the transverse axis by internal bars or beams which provide support for the wall portions without the need for external soil reinforcement.

A ground gutter system, including an inner surface to receive water thereupon, the inner surface including at least one hole, a border surrounding the inner surface, and a pipe connected at a first end to the at least one hole to direct the water away from the ground gutter system out a second end.

A dispenser system includes at least one main tubular element, at least one nozzle, and openings formed on the main tubular element. The at least one nozzle receives and injects a first fluid inside the main tubular element. The openings in conjunction with the nozzle enable fluid circulation between inside and outside of the main tubular element.

A river course ecological treatment system for use in a river includes a plurality of plastic retaining dams disposed in the river that receive and divide the river course into sequential retaining regions arranged in a direction from upstream to downstream; a plurality of ecological biological water purification systems disposed in the sequential retaining regions and each ecological biological water purification system being located between any two adjacent plastic retaining dams of the plurality of plastic retaining dams to purify water within the sequential retaining regions and discharge purified water; and at least one damp land ecological water purification system that is disposed beside the river and that includes a rainwater channel disposed along the river; aquatic plants disposed in the rainwater channel are effective to purify water flowing within the rainwater channel; and draining vents provided in the rainwater channel that discharge purified water into the river course.
