drift losses

Bickley, A.E. (1984) Evaporation and wind drift losses from domestic garden sprinklers.

Using equations from Cooling Tower Fundamentals (Marley 1983), the releases to the air in the drift losses may be calculated.

Moreover, the drift losses that we observed occurred in the absence of significant geomorphic disturbance; this is inconsistent with the notion of catastrophic drift being a response to hydrological disturbance events.

Using available analytical data, or estimates if data is not available, estimates of the emissions of the NPRI-listed substances in the drift losses from the cooling tower can be made.
