This experimental study explores the mitigation of membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) through the combined use of granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC). The research assesses the impact of these materials on...

The paper describes the implementation of internal boundary conditions in the 1D ORSADEM hydraulic model to simulate the effect of a hydraulic in-line structure. The proposed model introduces a simplified representation of the bridge geometry by impo...

This study evaluates the storm surge inundation risk in three anthropogenically infilled estuaries—Xichong, Renshan, and Kaozhouyang—located in the Guangdong–Macao–Hong Kong Great Bay Area, China. By integrating GIS spatial an...

Beach erosion and coastal protection are complex and interconnected phenomena that have a substantial impact on coastal environments worldwide. Among the various coastal protection measures, seawalls have been widely implemented to mitigate erosion a...

Understanding the interrelationships between land use, climate change, and regional water yield is critical for effective water resource management and ecosystem protection. However, comprehensive insights into how water yield evolves under different...

The synchronization and intensity of fluctuating wind speeds and wave surfaces in wind–wave joint propagation processes are affected by the coherence of the marine ambient factors of fluctuating wind and random waves. This coherence further aff...

Abutment scour is a major cause of bridge failures worldwide, leading to disruptions, economic losses, and loss of life. The present experimental study examines countermeasures against abutment scour using hooked-collar protections on vertical-wall a...

Groundwater contamination poses a severe public health risk in Lahore, Pakistan’s second-largest city, where over-exploited aquifers are the primary municipal and domestic water supply source. This study presents the first comprehensive distric...

The slope erosion in the distribution area of completely weathered granite is often relatively severe, causing serious ecological damage and property loss. Ecological restoration is the most effective means of soil erosion control. Taking completely...

The soil water retention curve (SWRC) is a vital soil property used to evaluate the soil’s water holding capacity, a critical factor in various applications such as determining soil water availability for plants, soil conservation and managemen...
