Extending water resources performance metrics to river ecosystems

[Antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli isolates from river water ecosystems].

INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest problems facing global public health. The emergence of resistant clinical and environmental strains worsens the situation. Among the microorganisms with antimicrobial resistance, Escherichia coil species stands out due to its dual role as fecal contamination indicator and pathogen. OBJECTIVES To isolate and identify Escherichia coil ...

River water quality modelling for river basin and water resources management with a focus on the Saale River, Germany

This thesis focuses on computer modelling issues such as i) uncertainty, including uncertainty in parameters, data input and model structure, ii) model complexity and how it affects uncertainty, iii) scale, as it pertains to scaling calibrated and validated models up or down to different spatial and temporal resolutions, and iv) transferability of a model to a site of the same scale. The discus...

Evaluating the performance of Unoconcrete floating cover to reduce evaporation from open water resources

Limitation of groundwater resources and high demand of the mining industry for water will be create Huge challenges in securing the survival of the industry's operations in the future. One of the important and insensible aspects water losses in the mines is evaporation from open water surfaces, and even wastewater tailings dams that it is out of reach a large amount of this precious capital eac...
