study on ecological water footprint in agricultural section of iran
demand and supply of water in iran is unbalanced. this situation has caused a great challenge in water resources management. in order to overcome this problem, the role of international trade of virtual water has been ignored. virtual water trade is one of the key solutions for water scarcity. each country should adapt virtual water trade based upon its socio-cultural, economical, and climatic ...
متن کاملCarbon footprint of water reuse and desalination: a review of greenhouse gas emissions and estimation tools
As population and water demand increase, there is a growing need for alternative water supplies from water reuse and desalination systems. These systems are beneficial to water augmentation; however, there are concerns related to their carbon footprint. This study compiles the reported carbon footprint of these systems from existing literature, recognizes general trends of carbon footprint of w...
متن کاملPerformance Study of Reverse Osmosis Plants for Water Desalination in Bandar-Lengeh, Iran
Introduction: Reverse osmosis (RO) is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from seawater to get fresh water), but since the early 1970s it has also been used to purify fresh water for medical, industrial, and domestic applications. The aim of this research was the performance study of reverse osmosis plants for water desalination in Bandar-Lengeh, Iran. Materials and Meth...
متن کاملHuman appropriation of natural capital: A comparison of ecological footprint and water footprint analysis
Article history: Received 26 September 2007 Received in revised form 2 June 2008 Accepted 19 June 2008 Available online 8 August 2008 The water footprint concept introduced in 2002 is an analogue of the ecological footprint concept originating from the 1990s. Whereas the ecological footprint (EF) denotes the bioproductive area (hectares) needed to sustain a population, the water footprint (WF) ...
متن کاملSimulation and Optimization of Full Scale Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant
This paper focuses on steady state performance predictions and optimization of the Reverse Osmosis (RO) process utilizing a set of implicit mathematical equations which are generated by combining solution-diffusion model with film theory approach. The simulation results were compared with operational data which are in good agreement having relative errors of 0.71% and 1.02%, in terms of water r...
