Changes in Water Quality Parameters in Different Processes of Surface Water Treatment Plant (Case study: Tehranpars Water Treatment Plant)
Background and purpose: Water treatment is of great importance in human life, due to the contamination of water resources. Therefore, continuous evaluation of the performance of water treatment plants is necessary to minimize contamination within the treatment plant in order to create optimal conditions. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analytic study was performed in Te...
متن کاملIntegrating building and urban semantics to empower smart water€solutions
Current urban water research involves intelligent sensing, systems integration, proactive users and datadriven management through advanced analytics. The convergence of building information modeling with the smart water field provides an opportunity to transcend existing operational barriers. Such research would pave the way for demand-side management, active consumers, and demand-optimized net...
متن کاملDesigning Water Efficient Residential Landscapes with Agent-Based Modeling
Residential irrigation accounts for 40 to 70 percent of household water use in semi-arid and arid regions in the U.S. (Hilaire et al. 2008), which consumes valuable resources. However, landscaping can also produce benefits: trees can reduce the heat index around the home, which decreases air conditioning use and saves energy (Bernatzky 1982; Shashua-Bar, Pearlmutter, and Erell 2009). The focus ...
متن کاملMaize response to water, salinity and nitrogen levels: yield-water relation, water-use efficiency and water uptake reduction function
