Comprehensive water management scenarios for strategic planning
General
The assessment of the applicability and suitability of potential measures and instruments is crucial in the strategic planning of water resources management. This paper presents a methodology founded on scenario analysis for assessing potentially applicable water management options in a regional...
Dynamics of a temperate fluvial estuary in early winter
General
In order to evaluate how current speed, salinity and water temperature stratification behaves under the influence of a freshwater source in a tidal domain, a 25 hour survey campaign was performed in the upper sector of the Vouga River estuary, the major source of freshwater of Ria de Aveiro, a...
Water resources management in the watershed of Volvi Lake
General
The decrease of available water resources, the water quality degradation as well as the rapid increase of population combined with the growth of human activities, impose today the development of a science that concerns the Management of Water Resources. Lake Volvi faces a lot of problems, the most...
Simulation of brackish karst springs operation with the MODKARST deterministic model
General
A simulation is presented of the operation of brackish karst springs with the MODKARST deterministic mathematical model. Through this simulation, major issues regarding the operation mechanisms as well as the sustainable development of the springs are addressed and analyzed. The particular case...
Multi-criteria reservoir water management
General
The Plastiras dam was constructed in the late 1950s mainly for electric power production, but it has also partially covered irrigation needs and water supply of the plain of Thessaly. Later, the site has been designated as an environment conservation zone because of ecological and landscape values...
Application of the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model in the Ronnea catchment of Sweden
General
The subject of this article is the estimation of quantitative (hydrological) and qualitative parameters in the catchment of Ronnea (1800 Km2, located in south western Sweden) through the application of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a river basin model that was developed for the...
OPTIMIZED AQUIFER MANAGEMENT, USING LINEAR PROGRAMMING.AN APPLICATION TO THE AGIA VARVARA AQUIFER, DRAMA, GREECE
General
The present research analyzes the behavior of Agia Varvara aquifer in Drama, Greece. A comprehensive and complete simulation-management combination model is applied, capable of calculating the water mass balance of the aquifer and defining the optimal management solution. In order to simulate the...
Forecasting mesoscale precipitation using the MM5 model with the four-dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) technique
General
The two basic forms of multi-scale data assimilation procedures (FDDA), based on Newtonian relaxation, of analysis and observations nudging have been applied for precipitation event period occurred over Portugal during summer season, using the Fifth Generation Mesoscale Model (MM5) developed and...
Optimal allocation of land and water resources in irrigated agriculture by means of Goal Programming: Application in Loudias River Basin
General
Agriculture is an economic activity that contributes significantly to the gross national product of a country, securing at the same time the viability of the rural sector and the social coherence. On the other hand, it can generate an environmental externality, especially concerning water resources...
Simultaneous Compliance of TOC and Turbidity Related to Pathogen Breakthrough and THMs Control by Enhanced Coagulation
General
Since discovery of harmful disinfection by products (DBPs) like trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) in chlorinated waters the removal of organic DBPs precursors gained priority in drinking water treatment. Historically, coagulation process was arranged to remove turbidity, typically...
