supercritical water oxidation has attracted attention of many researchers ever since the ideahas emerged about three decades ago as a promising technique in the waste managementindustry. providing more details about the behavior of a supercritical water oxidation systemunder various operating conditions and extending available data can greatly assist more accurateand reliable design of such sys...

To be able to overcome water shortages, Abu Dhabi Emirate started an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project with desalinated seawater (DSW) as source water near Liwa. It is the largest DSW-ASR project in the world (stored volume ~10 Mm3/year), and should recover potable water for direct use. DSW is infiltrated into a desert dune sand aquifer using “sand-covered gravel-bed” recharge basins. ...

background and aims: the main cause of many problems in developing countries is related to the provision of safe drinking water. since the health of drinking water is important in the busy centers such as hospitals, clinics and health centers, this study was done to investigate the role of water coolers connected to the municipal system in microbial quality of drinking water in behbahan city. m...

the paper presents the case study of the current formation of a brazilian pit lake from an iron ore mining activity. the water used for the filling of the lake comes from rain, ground water and the complementary pumpage from a close river. at its final stage, which will be reached around year 2018, lake aguas claras will have a surface area of 0.67 km2 and the depth of 234 m, which will make it...

The evaluation of water bodies “at risk” of not achieving the Water Framework Directives goal of “good status” begs the question of how big a risk is acceptable before a programme of measures should be implemented. Adequate documentation of expert judgement and statistical uncertainty in pollution budgets and water quality modeling combined with Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian belief networ...

background: in this study, the chemical quality of water in some sub-basins of gamasiab river has been investigated for a long term planning of water consuming in the region . methods: the area is about 11 x10 3 km 2 , located in ramadan and kermanshah, the two western regions of iran. in this regard the results of the water samples, which were collected on the outlet of the 13 hydrometrical st...

The integration between technology of remote sensing, information from the data of digital image, and modeling technology for the simulation of water quality will provide easiness during the observation on the quality of water changes on the river surface. For example, Ciliwung River which is contaminated with non-point source pollutant from household wastes, particularly on its downstream. Thi...

The current applications of geographic information systems (GIS) applications to non-point-source pollution modeling for agricultural area are reviewed with respect to the requirements for GIS, the hydrological/water quality modeling processes, and integration between GIS and Non-Point-Source Pollution (NPSP) models. Some necessary considerations for future studies are also discussed by summari...

Water quantity and quality joint operation is a new mode in the present dams' operation research. It has become a hot topic in governmental efforts toward integrated basin improvement. This paper coupled a water quantity and quality joint operation model (QCmode) and genetic algorithm with Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Together, these tools were used to explore a reasonable operation o...
