When flushing carry out as pressure condition, a scour cone is performed around the outlet. As the flow around the outlet in the pressure flushing is three dimensional, therefore that it is difficult to establish a general empirical model to provide accurate estimation for scour cone volume and...

A regional model was developed in the present study for the determination of the flow duration curve at ungaged catchments, in western and northwestern Greece, which is a hydrologically homogenous region. A flow duration curve indicates the water availability at a site and is important for the...

The potential regional future changes in seasonal (winter and summer) temperature and precipitation are assessed for the greater area of Greece over the 21st century, under A2, A1B and B2 future emission scenarios of IPCC. Totally twenty-two simulations from various regional climate models (RCMs)...

This paper provides an introduction to one hundred thirty one, pre-industrial, unpublicised Mediterranean scenes kept in Oxford, which constitute valuable evidence of changing environment. The largely unknown and unpublished paintings witness environmental wilderness and the cultural landscapes of...

Solar assisted Photo Fenton was compared with advanced oxidation processes for their color and COD removal efficiency and cost effectiveness. H2O2 alone appeared to be inefficient to reduce color and COD content of any effluent. The performance of Fenton process was slightly better, color and COD...

A noticeable decline of Quercus ithaburensis ssp. Macrolepis, a typical mediterranean species, has been recorded in the past few decades throughout Greece. The triggers were mostly human influences and specifically illegal cuttings, wildfires, and overgrazing. Regeneration and future management of...

The main objective of this study was to characterize the organic matter present in raw water and along the treatment process, as well as its seasonal variation. A natural organic matter fractionation approach has been applied to Lever water treatment plant located in Douro River, in Oporto (Portugal...

Improving the treatment efficiency of a primary wastewater treatment plant(WWTP),in Alexandria, Egypt,was studied.In order to improve the treatment efficiency of the plant, different improving scenarios were proposed and evaluated. The improvement scenarios are: scenario 1,use of engineered wetland...

Treatment of young landfill leachate, collected from municipal solid waste site of city of Konya, was investigated by using the Fenton process. The leachate itself showed the characteristics of pH 7.25, COD 38.2 g L-1 and BOD5 22 g L-1. Ratio of BOD5 to COD with 0.58 indicates that leachate can be...

Pollution caused by traffic activities is increasingly becoming a great threat to human health in the region of Thrace in north-west of Turkey. Thirty six soil and plant samples were collected from the vicinity of Çorlu–Çerkezköy Highway. The samples were taken at distances of, 1, 25, 50, 100, 250...
