The present research focuses on heat recovery from hot kitchen wastewater to fulfil the dual objective of reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while simultaneously improving the fat, oil and grease (FOG) removal efficiency of the grease tra...

Since their development, as a result of an improvement of labyrinth weirs, Piano Key Weirs (PKWs) have been implemented as (a) a flood safety structure for gravity dams, allowing to also increase their storage volume, and (b) in river systems to incr...

Understanding the importance of factors intervening in the breakdown of water distribution networks and their service connections can help in the decision-making process of where to invest resources in infrastructure rehabilitation or water loss cont...

Heavy metals can contaminate water through both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. Unlike organic contaminants, heavy metals are toxic, not biodegradable, and possess the ability to accumulate in organisms. Effective mixing between conta...

Smart water consumption metering can provide data at a much more specific spatial and temporal resolution. In this context, smart meters provide essential information for developing customer consumption models, which can be used to modify behavior, f...

The extreme events that the planet is experiencing are indisputable proof of climate change. Effective strategies are required to reduce the exposure and vulnerability of cities to such risks. This work aims to contribute to the cultural and technica...

Coupling pressure management strategies with energy generation in water distribution networks could provide an opportunity to reduce energy dependency. Recent laboratory prototypes attested the capability of Pump-As-Turbines (PATs) to manage pressure...

Conventionally, long-term coastline evolution is usually described using the diffusion equation. Particularly, the diffusion coefficient, ε, is a function of the wave angle: this implies that the diffusivity can assume negative values when wa...

This work provides a brief overview of the application of Sewage Sludge-Derived Biochar (SSBC) for the removal of micropollutants from aqueous solutions and wastewater. A particular emphasis is placed on the adsorption efficiency of SSBC regarding th...

In the majority of transboundary river basins, difficulties lay on common policy planning, and such is the case of Mesta/Nestos shared between Bulgaria and Greece, where both qualitative and quantitative issues could threaten the water safety. Concep...
