Rethinking urban areas: an example of an integrated blue-green approach Tập 13 Số 6 - Trang 1534-1542 - 2013
Evangelos Rozos, Christos Makropoulos, Č. Maksimović
The provision of high quality urban water services, the assets of which are
often conceptualised as ‘blue infrastructure’, is essential for public health
and quality of life in the cities. On the other hand, parks, recreation grounds,
gardens, green roofs and in general ‘green infrastructure’, provide a range of
(urban) ecosystem services (including quality of life and aesthetics) and could
also b... hiện toàn bộ
Burst detection and location in water distribution networks Tập 5 Số 3-4 - Trang 71-80 - 2005
Dalius Misiūnas, Martin F. Lambert, Angus R. Simpson, Gustaf Olsson
An algorithm for the detection and location of sudden bursts in water
distribution networks combining both continuous monitoring of pressure and
hydraulic transient computation is presented. The approach is designed for
medium and large bursts that are the result of the sudden rupture of the pipe
wall or other physical element in the network and are accompanied by the
transient pressure wave that ... hiện toàn bộ
Antibiotics in groundwater under locations with high livestock density in Germany Tập 16 Số 5 - Trang 1361-1369 - 2016
Frederike Balzer, Sebastian Zühlke, Stephan Hannappel
Antibiotics are deployed in large quantities both in human and in veterinary
medicine. Studies show that antibiotic residues occur in the environment (e.g.
soil and surface waters). In some cases they were also detected in ground and
drinking water. However, the degree of groundwater pollution by antibiotic
residues from livestock farming is unknown. Therefore, the federal environment
agency (UBA)... hiện toàn bộ
Natural organic matter fouling and chemical cleaning of nanofiltration membranes Tập 4 Số 5-6 - Trang 245-251 - 2004
Qilin Li, Menachem Elimelech
Fouling and subsequent chemical cleaning are two important issues for
sustainable operation of nanofiltration (NF) membranes in water quality control
applications. Because fouling strongly depends on the feed water quality,
especially the ionic composition, chemical cleaning solutions should be chosen
to target the solution chemistry that is most responsible for the formation of a
compact, high re... hiện toàn bộ
Pharmaceutical removal during managed aquifer recharge with pretreatment by advanced oxidation Tập 12 Số 6 - Trang 755-767 - 2012
K. Lekkerkerker-Teunissen, Ewnetu Tefera Chekol, Sung Kyu Maeng, Kebreab Ghebremichael, Corine J. Houtman, A.R.D. Verliefde, J.Q.J.C. Verberk, Gary Amy, Judith Dijk
Organic micropollutants (OMPs) are detected in sources for drinking water and
treatment possibilities are investigated. Innovative removal technologies are
available such as membrane filtration and advanced oxidation, but also
biological treatment should be considered. By combining an advanced oxidation
process with managed aquifer recharge (MAR), two complementary processes are
expected to provid... hiện toàn bộ
Biodegradation of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin [Dha7] microcystin-LR within a biologically active sand filter Tập 14 Số 4 - Trang 672-680 - 2014
Theerasak Somdee, Jindawan Wibuloutai, Thidarat Somdee, Anchana Somdee
Cyanobacterial blooms in Thailand waters contain microcystin (MC) hepatotoxins
that are a risk to animal and human health. The biodegradation of MCs is a safe
and natural method of removal from water. The [Dha7] MC-LR was purified by
chromatography, identified by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
(LC-MS) and used for examining the biodegradation of MCs. Analysis of MC levels
revealed ... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of irrigation water scarcity on rural household food security and income in Pakistan Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 675-683 - 2016
Dil Bahadur Rahut, Akhter Ali, Muhammad Imtiaz, Khondoker Abdul Mottaleb, Olaf Erenstein
As Pakistan is currently facing a severe shortage of irrigation water, this
paper analyzes the determinants of water scarcity and its impact on the yield of
cereal crops (wheat, maize and rice), household income, food security and
poverty levels by employing the propensity-score-matching approach. This study
is based on a comprehensive set of cross-sectional data collected from 950
farmers from al... hiện toàn bộ
Coupled coordination of water resources–economy–ecosystem complex in the Henan section of the Yellow River basin Tập 22 Số 12 - Trang 8835-8848 - 2022
Shunsheng Wang, Jinyue Yang, Aili Wang, Yongfang Yan, Tengfei Liu
Abstract This study investigates the coordination of factors in the three
coupled systems of water resources, economy and ecosystem. The study data were
economic, social, environmental and water resource indicators of the Henan
section of the Yellow River basin from 2000 to 2019. Data were analyzed using a
model of coupling coordination, grey relational analysis and a combined sparrow
