extended abstract abstract pressure management is an effective method for water demand management. for evaluation of the effects of pressure changes on leakage level of water networks, the favad equation is usually used. however, in this equation, exponent of pressure parameter (n) needs to be determined. for estimation of n, either some information about the leak opening is necessary or networ...

abstract one of the problems in design of irrigation structures is sedimentation control in the inlet to the irrigation networks. water quality for agriculture requires that the sediments be controlled and reduced to the permissible limit at their entrance point to the turnouts and irrigation networks. this is possible by constructing a sedimentation basin. the bigger the basin, the best the re...

Abstract Liquid water, besides being fundamental for life on Earth, has long fascinated scientists due to several anomalies. Different hypotheses have been put forward explain these peculiarities. The most accredited one foresees the presence in supercooled region of two phases at different densities: low-density liquid phase and high-density phase. In our previous work [Faccio et al. (2022), J...

the purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze factors influencing farmers’ participation in irrigation networks management, with an approach to compare two groups of farmers (one in irrigation networks with wua (water users' association), and the other in networks lacking wua). the methodological approach was a descriptive-correlational and causal-comparative study of the survey...

OBJECTIVE To assess the contamination level of total and faecal coliforms in water wells and distribution networks, and their association with human health in Gaza Governorate, Gaza Strip. METHODS Data were obtained from the Palestinian Ministry of Health on contamination of total and faecal coliforms in water wells and distribution networks, and on the incidence of water-related diseases in ...
