Water resources management models are widely used to evaluate planning or operational scenarios to support water resource management decision-making. However, the approaches to modelling used in the past have led to problems, such as modellers having difficulty establishing the credibility of their model with stakeholders, and stakeholders having difficulty understanding and trusting model resu...

Inspired by the experience of a river contract in Wallonia (Belgium) since 1990, the implementation of a first river contract has been initiated in a West African country, Burkina Faso. This application is not limited to a simple transposition of the Walloon model. The Burkina context calls for adaptation to the local environmental and socio-economical realities with an adequate partnership man...

The impact of climate change on the ecosystem of the Mediterranean Sea basin will be manifested mainly by a significant reduction in water resources, because of rising temperatures and lower rainfall despite the increase in heavy precipitation events. Water is a fundamental resource for the metabolic activities of plants in agriculture. Unfortunately this resource is available in limited quanti...

Making great strides in social economy, demands for the material is growing, at the same time,it also stimulates the development of logistics.The railway-water combined transportation of our country is being into a golden opportunity, With the support of national policy and the improvement of railway transportation capacity,it's preparing for the development conditions of the railway-water comb...

background central dialysate fluid delivery systems (cdds) are used by dialysis centers in japan, and although these systems are effective at delivering dialysate, they have a complex piping network with numerous sites where contamination can develop. in japan, cleaning disinfectants have been clinically evaluated based on endotoxin levels and bacterial counts, but there have been no published ...

Reservoir management decisions are commonly made using surface water models with simplified and/or abstracted physical processes and limited groundwater-surface water interactions. Optimizations with such models might not capture the potential importance of and feedbacks from physical processes such as evaporation and infiltration. This study details how management algorithms of the Water Evalu...
