Abstract: The present disclosure evaporation panel systems including a plurality of evaporation panels. The evaporation panels can include a plurality of evaporation shelves that are laterally elongated, vertically stacked, spaced apart from one another, and horizontally oriented; and a plurality of vertical support columns positioned laterally along the plurality of evaporation shelves to provide support and separation to the plurality of evaporation shelves. The evaporation panels can also include a plurality of female-receiving openings which are individually bordered by two evaporation shelves and two support columns; and a plurality of male connectors positioned at lateral ends of both the first evaporation panel and the second evaporation panels. The first evaporation panel and the second evaporation panel can be orthogonally connectable via the male connectors of the first evaporation panel and the female-receiving openings of the second evaporation panel.

Abstract: A wastewater evaporative separation system can include an evaporation panel assembly and a wastewater delivery system. The evaporative panel assembly can include at least 10 individual evaporation panels laterally joined together and fluidly coupled to a body of wastewater. The evaporation panel assembly can be configured for receiving wastewater from the body of wastewater and evaporating water therefrom as the wastewater cascades down the evaporation panel assembly and contaminants generally become more concentrated. The wastewater delivery system can be associated with the body of wastewater and can include a fluid directing assembly delivering wastewater from the body of wastewater to an upper portion of the evaporation panel assembly.

Abstract: A water shield, reinforcing device for insertion over a top edge of a joist member and useful for supporting a wood deck or other outdoor structure which may be exposed to water. The device includes an elongate channel of rectangular cross section which has a composition of sufficiently high modulus of elasticity to provide substantial inflexibility to the device. The width of the channel approximately corresponds to the width of the joist member and the height dimension is sufficient, in combination with the modulus of elasticity, to provide substantial inflexibility to the device. The length of the channel is coextensive and continuous with the length of the joist member and includes diverging wing members coupled at bottom ends and along the length of the elongate channel to direct water away from the joist member.
