Recent advances in fluorescence spectrophotometry enable the analysis of river dissolved organic matter. We investigate the potential of detecting sewage pollution in a small, urbanised catchment. Downstream sampling highlighted a summer maximum in tryptophan fluorescence intensity during low flow. No correlation is observed between ammonia and tryptophan fluorescence intensity. In contrast, tw...

It is estimated that at least two billion people have inadequate sanitation. The current situation in water and sanitation services for millions of peri-urban residents is starkly antipoor and represents a major challenge for the 21 century. By virtue of its cost and water requirements, we would argue that conventional sewerage is an implicitly anti-poor technology. This paper summarises low-co...

In this article, the Environmental pollution in Iraq was studied by using the remote sensing techniques for the period (2010-2014). In general, the environmental pollution can be divided into three major parts: Air, Water, and soil pollutions. To overcome the problem, multi-satellite images with different resolution and bands at different dates were used to detect and quantize the source of pol...

As one of major underground pipelines, sewerage is an important infrastructure in any modern city. The most common problem occurring in sewerage is leaking, whose position and failure level is typically identified through closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection in order to facilitate rehabilitation process. This paper proposes a novel method of computer vision, morphological segmentation ba...

Classification schemes are an important issue in the collective use of large document collections. We have investigated the classification of technical documentations in two engineering domains: a steel mill and a sewerage plant company. In both cases we found a coexistence of different classification schemes and problems resulting from distributed local archives. In supporting human actors to ...

sulfide production has been one of the most important problems in sewage collection systems that came to be known as an important factor of corrosion in concrete sewerage systems since early 1900. the emission of hydrogen sulfide gas in sewerage conduits creates problems including biological corrosion of concrete, release of repulsive odors in the city environment, as well as the potential dang...
