- Water Leak Detection: A Comprehensive Review of Methods, Challenges . . .
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the methods and techniques developed for detecting leaks in water distribution systems, with a focus on highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for future research Given the substantial economic, social, and environmental impacts of undetected leaks, timely detection and precise location of leaks are critical concerns for water
- Water Reuse: A Comprehensive Review - MDPI
Water scarcity has emerged as a pressing global concern, driven by population growth, urbanization, and climate change As freshwater resources dwindle, the imperative for water reuse becomes increasingly apparent Reusing water presents a sustainable solution to mitigate scarcity, offering a way to maximize the efficiency of available resources This review delves into the multifaceted
- Science and Technology for Water Purification: Achievements and Strategies
This Special Issue, “Science and Technology for Water Purification”, brings together cutting-edge research on the latest advancements in water and wastewater treatment technologies, with a focus on innovative solutions that address the multifaceted challenges of water pollution and scarcity As global water demand increases and water quality deteriorates due to the discharge of complex
- The Effect of Ecophysiological Traits on Live Fuel Moisture Content - MDPI
Live fuel moisture content (LFMC) is an important metric for fire danger ratings However, there is limited understanding of the physiological control of LFMC or how it varies among co-occurring species This is a problem for biodiverse yet fire-prone regions such as southern California We monitored LFMC and water potential for 11 native woody species, and measured ecophysiological traits
- Evaluation of Ship Pollutant Emissions in the Ports of Los . . . - MDPI
The role of the shipping industry in international logistics has been highlighted with the development of the global economy and the increase in international trade
- Drinking Water Quality in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - MDPI
The production and transmission system of the Saudi Water Authority (SWA) faces a number of challenges in maintaining the high quality of potable water Produced desalinated water is transmitted for long distances and is mixed with ground and surface waters of varying quality The SWA is also in the process of converting from thermal desalination to seawater reverse osmosis which typically
- Raspy-Cal: A Genetic Algorithm-Based Automatic Calibration Tool . . . - MDPI
While automatic calibration programs exist for many hydraulic models, no user-friendly and broadly reusable automatic calibration system currently exists for steady-state HEC-RAS models This study highlights development of Raspy-Cal, an automatic HEC-RAS calibration program based on a genetic algorithm and implemented in Python It includes a graphical user interface and an interactive
- Trifluoroacetic Acid: A Narrative Review on Physico-Chemical . . . - MDPI
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a persistent degradation product of widely used fluorinated compounds such as hydrofluorocarbons, hydrofluoroolefins, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrochlorofluoroolefins Its chemical stability, water solubility, and environmental persistence raise concerns about potential human and ecological risks To provide an overview of current knowledge on TFA, we
