In this study the vertical ozone profiles during summertime (June to August) of the MOZAIC (Measurement of Ozone and Water Vapor by Airbus in Service Aircraft) Project over the eastern Mediterranean airports of Heraklion and Rhodes in the Aegean Sea, have been analyzed in order to identify the major...

Renewable water resources in Saudi Arabia are limited with groundwater as the major source for water supply. This study was conducted to assess the quality of groundwater in Almadinah Almunawarah, Saudi Arabia. Water samples were collected from 60 wells in 2010. Physical and chemical parameters were...

In this paper we propose a framework for energy audit and renewable energy utilization for a Mediterranean fish hatchery station. A concise literature review concerning the use of renewables in aquaculture is provided, followed by a step by step framework for energy audit in aquaculture stations...

The purpose of this paper is to offer an initial presentation and classification of the methodological approaches used to analyzing energy demand, related CO2 emissions and economic development for countries, regions and subsequently to provide for an extended survey of related articles for the case...

In this study, surface and wastewater in Çorlu, Tekirdağ has been monitored for ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), salicylic acid as an analgesic and caffeine.

Water shortage is an environmental problem that requires changes in terms of thinking and everyday practice. Education for a sustainable development should therefore aim at arousing pupils’ awareness on this issue and inducing rational use of water in future citizens. The present study explores the...

The unintended release of hydrocarbons into the environment can negatively impact human and animal health, and could further change the characteristics of soils. The aim of the present work was to investigate the rate of biodegradation at 10 and 20% diesel fuel in contaminated soil amended with 10%...

In this study, the effects of seepage flow in the swash zone on beach profile evolution under the wave action are examined numerically. The seepage flow is induced artificially by a porous drain pipe buried beneath swash zone parallel to the coastline. The system includes minimal environmental...

In order to design a network of drainage canals, it is essential to consider the excess water from the agricultural land (overland flow) and to evaluate the characteristics of flow routing, such as the flow depths and discharges in the system of tertiary and main drainage canals of various order. In...

Vulnerability assessment and production of the risk map of the contamination is considered as a managerial significant technique in the conservation of Karstic water resources. Karst aquifers in semi-arid regions of the West of Iran with respect to the region’s natural conditions are prone to...
