Carbonaceous BOD (cBOD)The stage of decomposition that occurs in biological treatment processes when aerobic bacteria, using DO, change carbon compounds to carbon dioxide; cBOD is sometimes referred to as "first-stage BOD" because the microorganisms attack organic or carbon compounds first. (Nitrogen compounds are targeted second, sometimes referred to as nBOD or "second stage BOD.")

Carbonate SystemMajor acid/base system that produces a chemical reaction in water distribution systems. The carbonate system is comprised of:
|
CationicAn ion with a positive charge.

cBODcBOD (Carbonaceous BOD) The stage of decomposition that occurs in biological treatment processes when aerobic bacteria, using DO, change carbon compounds to carbon dioxide; cBOD is sometimes referred to as "first-stage BOD" because the microorganisms attack organic or carbon compounds first. (Nitrogen compounds are targeted second, sometimes referred to as nBOD or "second stage BOD.")

CCRCCR -Consumer Confidence Report An annual water quality report that community water systems deliver to their customers.
