Characteristic Properties of Surface Run-off and Its Disposal from Railway Transport Enterprises

Abstract

Abstract This paper focuses on railway transport enterprises and their classification. It outlines the number of railway stations of the Kuibyshev railway (KZhD) located in various regions of this country. The classification takes into account the region where these railway stations are located, the number of tracks at every particular station, and its land area. The article provides data on the surveyed railway transport enterprises and information on surface wastewater generated on their territory. The researchers analyze surface run-off from various railway industry enterprises, this wastewater composition and the dependence of contamination of surface wastewater discharged by different railway industry enterprises on the form and composition of their watersheds. They come up with recommendations for criteria of surface wastewater disposal from the territories of railway transport enterprises and railway tracks, as well as proposals for the treatment of surface run-off from the enterprises under consideration.
