Mine drainage is increasingly becoming a problem in the UK as water tables rise and acid drainage waters rich in heavy metals impact river systems. The impacts of mine drainage at two sites, the River Pelenna in Wales and the Wheal Jane Mine in Cornwall is assessed. Mathematical models have been developed and applied to investigate heavy metal pollution in the Pelenna case study and the models ...

Combined with the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) extends its abilities from static to dynamic working environment for urban drainage network. In this paper, a framework of Web-GIS for the urban drainage network management system is presented. This three-layer system framework is based on the J2EE technologies. The principles of data structur...

Drainage systems play an important role in the development of managing surface runoff water. This is because without proper management drainage system, it can cause flooding area. Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) has suffered floods and caused significant losses. Therefore, purpose this article to study types available around UTHM In regard, semi-structured interviews were conducted w...

large impervious surfaces and man-made waterways are the characteristic of urban area. increasing urbanization and rapid growth of cities in recent decades towards the upstream watershed, has been severely affected on rainfall-runoff processes in urban area. therefore, to computer models in order to illustrate these processes the proper design or assessment of urban drainage systems has special...

BACKGROUND It is frequently stated in the literature that there is a common canaliculus (CC) in the lacrimal drainage system in about 90% of individuals; in the remaining 10%, the upper and lower canaliculi enter the lacrimal sac separately. To our knowledge, there is no quantitative study supporting this assumption. OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency of the CC and other anatomical types ...
