Cover Story: Waste stabilisation pond (WSP) performance is significantly affected by poor hydraulic control. Hydraulic reconfiguration of ponds with baffles is a solution to this problem; however, without full-scale validation, it is difficult to generalise for a wide range of sites. In this study, a full-scale experiment of baffles in a WSP was investigated to assess their impact on hydraulics. Optimal baffle configuration was determined by using high-resolution pond bathymetry and a 2D hydrodynamic model. The approach developed in this study is easily transferrable for use on other sites.
