In static conditions, the only mechanism available for sludge/water separation is sludge sedimentation by gravity. In dynamic conditions an additional mechanism is available: sludge momentum preservation. In order to achieve a better understanding of...

Venice and its lagoon represent an extraordinary architectural, artistic and cultural heritage. However, due to the combination of astronomical and meteorological causes, as well as by the conformation of the sea basin, the city and its lagoon are fr...

This paper surveys the historical indigenous water-harvesting and water-supply systems in the Levant, focusing on Syrian lands, where they are numerous and well-preserved. It also deals with the important hydraulic works recently carried out to explo...

To ensure universal access to sustainable, reliable, and affordable water supply and sanitation (WSS) services, the right types of financing need to be attracted. This study analyzed the characteristics and results of 62 completed World Bank WSS proj...

The functional relationship between detention dam inflows and outflows was derived in a closed form in a recent work, which led to a theoretically derived probability distribution (TDD) of the peak outflows from in-line detention dams. This TDD is te...

A wastewater treatment facility in Pau, France, will soon be modified to become a so-called “Biofactory” able to produce different resources or energy through a series of state-of-the art and innovative technologies. SUEZ will lead the co...

Despite their key role in the low-carbon transition, cities depend on methods with pressing data availability and quality issues for carbon monitoring. Origins.earth and partners have leveraged cutting-edge data and scientific knowledge to deploy an...

Water treatment systems have been implemented by urbanizing societies for millennia to facilitate water management goals. Common models of surface overflow rate (SOR), plug flow reactor (PFR), and continuously stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) were develop...

In the management of drinking water networks, operational costs generally play second fiddle to capital investment costs, because their optimization strategies are often distinct. However, under the pressure of an aged network infrastructure with lim...
