Public attitudes and environmental impacts of wind farms: a review
General
The promotion of renewable sources for electricity production, independent of carbon fuels and nuclear power, is a priority in the energy policy of many countries all over the world. The European Union has launched an ambitious program to increase the contribution of energy production from wind...
Review of Wastewater Reuse in the Mediterranean Countries, Focusing on Regulations and Policies for Municipal and Industrial Applications
General
The present paper reviews the wastewater reuse regulations, practices and applications of countries around the Mediterranean Region, particularly focusing on reuse practices for municipal and industrial uses. Water scarcity and water need is established in Mediterranean countries using international...
Recycling of coal ash as a building material via a stabilization/solidification method
General
This study examines stabilization/solidification (S/S) techniques for coal ash/cement systems that involve the production of construction products while minimizing contamination and recycling the coal ash (CA). In these techniques, the polluted components of coal ash are fixed in a cement body via...
Pilot study of the removal of individual trihalomethanes (THMs) from chlorinated drinking water by GAC adsorption - Galatsi water treatment plant, Athens, Greece
General
The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the performance of Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) for the removal of individual trihalomethanes (THMs) from chlorinated drinking water, Athens, Greece. The pilot treatment facility was located at the Water Treatment Plant of EYDAP (Athens Water...
Environmental impacts and best management of urban stormwater runoff: measures and legislative framework
General
Urban stormwater runoff constitutes a non-point source pollution, which contributes in degradation of water bodies’ quality (USEPA, 2002). European Union’s environmental policy includes water environment protection and preservation by adopting a series of directives, 2000/60/EC (Water Framework...
Spatial and temporal study of extreme precipitation over North of Iran
General
Two main focus of this study is the spatial and temporal analysis of annual 24-hour extreme precipitation amounts for different return periods, and the intra-annual variability of the frequency of month to month maximum rainfall using harmonic analysis.

Water bodies pollution due to stormwater runoff in highways: measures and legislative framework
General
Nowadays, it is a common ascertainment that stormwater runoff in the urban and interurban road network consist non-point source pollution which contributes to the degrading of the quality of water of ground and surface water bodies. Taking into account the fact that water pollution has impacts to...
Disinfection of secondary treated wastewater using under pressure dissolved oxygen, copper ions and hydrogen peroxide
General
Many studies have been conducted to increase the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide (HP) in wastewater disinfection to make HP disinfection more cost-effective with respect to reduced concentration and detention time. In this study, the effects of HP, copper ions (Cu2+), and 1 atm. pressure-dissolved...
The potential for transboundary cooperation towards the conservation of the avifauna in the mountain region Tzena/Kozhuf
General
When it comes to shared natural resources between two countries it is essential to mitigate differences in the management which underpin threats to the conservation of those resources by putting the way forward for coordination of the management of the area as a whole. Shared natural resources are...
Sustainable research and development of the small uninhabited islands: the case of Ionian Oinoisses
General
It is acceptable that the uninhabited islands of small size, due to their isolation from the mainland, offer remarkable habitats for the distribution and conservation of significant protected flora and fauna species. Many of these islands hosted in the past settlements, castles, etc., that now have...
