    Abstract :

    To use effluent groundwater as stream maintenance water, it is important to evaluate the water quality compared to the nearby streams. Therefore, we examined the water quality characteristics and compared the results to nearby streams using continuous water quality inspection data generated from subway stations, electric power plants, communication ports, and buildings. The purpose of this study was to provide basic data to estimate the application potential and to derive a utilization plan for the effluent groundwater. Generally, precautions are needed for the aesthetic parameters including turbidity and color to use the effluent groundwater as stream maintenance water. Also, it is necessary to construct utilization plans that suit each facility such as separate classifications, processing, and uses tailored to each facility. As a result of the water quality comparisons it was found that the water quality of the effluent groundwater generated from each facility was better than that of the nearby stream for all parameters except for certain samples. Currently, the water quality is sufficient even if effluent groundwater is discharged to the nearby streams and the effluent groundwater is considered sufficient to utilize as stream maintenance water and to dilute nearby streams during water shortage periods.
