In submitting conference proceedings to Environmental and Earth Sciences Proceedings, the volume editors of the proceedings certify to the publisher that all papers published in this volume have been subjected to peer review administered by the volum...
The Pinios River Basin, located in the water district of Thessaly in central Greece, is one of the most water-stressed agricultural regions in the country. This study investigates the spatio-temporal characteristics of drought in the basin using comb...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a promising pathway for treating wastewater while simultaneously generating electricity; however, they remain largely pilot-scale technology due to persistent limitations, such as low power density. Microalgae can ac...
Accurate measurement of streamflow is fundamental for water resources management, ecological conservation, flash flood early warning, and climate change impact studies. This study presents a proof of concept on the usage of Internet of Things (IoT) f...
Building on the success of its predecessors, the 9th International Electronic Conference on Water Sciences (ECWS-9) has been hosted entirely online. The conference aims to explore pivotal advancements in water sciences amidst environmental change. Re...
This study analyses two wetlands within the Medina del Campo groundwater body (Duero River Basin, Spain) to reconstruct flood patterns and quantify the hydrological volumes involved in episodic inundation. We integrate Sentinel satellite imagery (201...
In recent years, the Mediterranean basin has been characterized as a climate change hotspot due to its rapid transition to warmer conditions and the strong agreement among most climate models predicting a significant decrease in precipitation by the...
Wetlands are highly productive ecosystems that play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. This study presents a geospatial assessment of the Harike Wetland, Punjab, using hyperspectral (PRISMA) and multispectral (Landsat series) satellite d...
Aquifers are increasingly threatened by the uncontrolled release of non-biodegradable chemicals derived from anthropogenic activities. The development of new remediation strategies has therefore focused on the use of sustainable adsorbent materials,...
This study presents a two-dimensional hydraulic modelling framework for the simulation of flash and compound flooding in coastal urban areas with non-perennial river systems. The model employs a rain-on-grid approach within HEC-RAS v6.7 beta5 (2D sol...
Urban water distribution networks face increasing challenges related to operational efficiency and demand variability, which require accurate hydraulic modeling and robust calibration frameworks that address data limitations. This study develops and...
The Great Lakes are the backbone of the economy of eight inland coastal states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) in the United States of America. This freshwater source provides unique opportunities...
This study investigated the comparative performance of anion exchange membranes (AEMs), cation exchange membranes (CEMs), and bipolar membranes (BPMs) in dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) operated under fed-batch real wastewater conditions. Th...
This study investigates the impact of climate-driven Sea Level Rise (SLR) and extreme storm tides on coastal flooding in the urbanised littoral zone of Kalamaria (Thermaikos Gulf, Northern Aegean Sea). High-resolution hydraulic simulations using the...
Groundwater in Mediterranean regions is facing increasing threats from climate change and intensive agriculture, necessitating robust vulnerability assessment tools. This study evaluates nitrate pollution vulnerability of the Almyros aquifer (Thessal...
This study investigates the implementation of an attached-growth pilot-scale biofilter for the biological treatment of mixed dairy wastewater derived from real industrial effluents, consisting of equal proportions of raw second cheese whey (SCW) and...
Agricultural irrigation management is considered more necessary than ever, as climate change directly threatens the growth of important Mediterranean crops in Greece. In this work, the metabolic characteristics of grapevine plants were assessed under...
