Water Science

This book explores modelling approaches to represent spatial pattern dynamics of aquatic populations in aquatic ecosystems. It combines models, knowledge, and data in different scales. It demonstrates that including spatially distributed inputs retrieved from Remote Sensing images a conventional phy..

Storm Water Discharges..

Sorption technique was employed to remove heavy metals from gold mining effluent using natural and plant materials for sustainability. An assessment of the effluent quality of a gold mining company in Ghana indicated that arsenic, copper and cyanide were the major pollutants in the process effluent...

Technologies for Upgrading Existing or Designing New Drinking Water..

The Coliform Index and Waterborne Disease..

These eight papers, from the 1988 Symposium on the Classification and Inventory of Great Lakes Aquatic Habitats, propose various classification approaches, most using a limited number of physical, chemical, and/or biological variables to produce some form of index. They also include overviews and su..

The riparian zone plays an important role in nitrogen removal, despite the minor proportion of the land area that it covers. The main objective of this thesis is to enhance the SWAT model by adding (i) a landscape routing concept across different landscape units, and (ii) a Riparian Nitrogen Model t..

Cyanobacteria and their toxins are an increasing global public health menace. This book examines the increasing need to protect drinking water and water resources from the hazards of Cyanobacteria and their impact on health...

This new Companion provides a wealth of information on the history of Germany since the Second World War including much material which is not readily available. Throughout, equal attention is devoted to East and West Germany and covers political, social, cultural, and economic developments. The auth..

In this research, the transport of Escherichia Coli in saturated quartz columns were conducted in the laboratory. The objectives were to characterise the distribution of sticking efficiency, measure low sticking efficiency values of cells, and to develop a methodology to measure minimum values of st..

Ultraviolet Light in Water and Wastewater Sanitation is the first comprehensive exploration of this emerging technology for improving the quality of drinking water and wastewater. The text integrates the fundamental physics specifically applicable to sanitation with UV light, the engineering aspects..

This book presents the major engineering achievements in underground aqueducts from around the world and throughout history. It provides valuable insights into water technologies and management with respect to durability, adaptability to the environment, and sustainability. Comparisons of the techno..
