Groundwater in the area of eastern Croatia contains increased concentrations of organic compounds, primarily natural organic matter (NOM). Organic compounds in water become a problem in drinking water treatment, especially during water disinfection with chlorine, when harmful disinfection by...

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...

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...

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...

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...

This technical paper describes and interprets the main results of an original research project, which integrates technological tools for developing a complete system for monitoring and determining irrigation demand on a systematic basis in Cyprus. More specifically, the main contribution of this...

This study investigates the partition of heavy metals in slag from the rotary kiln (SL), second combustion chamber ashes (SCCA), filter cake (FC) from a bag filter and flue gas (FG) emissions (both in particulate and gas phases) of the Istanbul medical waste incinerator (ISTAC). Eleven targeted...

To inform the further development of water pricing in Shiyang River basin, a typical arid region in northwest China with agriculture as the major consumer of water, this research conducted a contingent valuation study on farmer’s willingness to pay (WTP) for irrigation water. The results show that...

In the present study, the photocatalytic treatment of two synthetic textile dyehouse effluents was investigated. The first synthetic effluent (SE1) is a Remazol Black B aqueous solution, while the second one (SE2) is an aqueous mixture of sixteen dyes and auxiliary chemicals that are usually...

In Turkey, control studies related to the wastes from ships continue, and the first waste acceptance facility (WAF) from ships was founded in Istanbul: Haydarpaşa WAF. Haydarpaşa WAF has been accepting waste since September 2005 based on the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution...
