Similar to other Asian nations, suburban areas in Japan are characterized by dense intermixtures of residential areas and farmlands. These hybrid rural/urban areas are evaluated negatively in modern planning frameworks. However, mixed rural/urban landscapes may prove advantageous when attempting to reconstruct sustainable wastewater treatment systems. This research examines the potential for ab...

DESCRIPTION As the infrastructure in the United States ages, increasing importance is being placed on rehabilitating the nation's wastewater treatment collection systems. Cracks, settling, tree root intrusion, and other disturbances that develop over time deteriorate pipe lines and other conveyance structures that comprise wastewater collection systems. These deteriorating conditions can increa...

introduction trends of population in the past half century have witnessed the decline of rural population to urban. general population and housing census results of iran in the past fifty years show that the exact proportion of rural population and urban population of the total population reversely changed (85.5 and 31.5 percents in 1335 to 31.5 and 85.5 percent in 1385). it seems that the four...

In the relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law, Intel’s Technology Development cycle results in a new semiconductor production process every two years. As this continuous cycle of new products moves from conception to market, so do the innovative environmental solutions designed to meet Intel’s philosophy of environmental excellence. Intel’s success in design-forenvironment (DFE) is widely recognized...

population’s exponential growth along with drought has increased water resources limitation, especially in arid and semi-arid area. therefore, the use of non-conventional water is an important tool for water resource management. if unconventional water has no negative impact on soil properties and water, it can be used for irrigation coupled with desertification projects. so, this paper tries t...

the growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (md) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. the md process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

Currently in many cities and rural areas of Vietnam, wastewater is discharged to the environment without any treatment, which emits considerable amount of greenhouse gas (GHG), particularly methane. In this study, four GHG emission scenarios were examined, as well as the baseline scenario, in order to verify the potential of GHG reduction from domestic wastewater with adequate treatment facilit...
