Evapotranspiration is an important parameter to evaluate soil water deficit and use efficiency, especially in locations with irregularly distributed precipitation. The aim of this study was assess the daily actual evapotranspiration (ETa) estimated by Thornthwaite Mather balance adapted for crops (ThM) dual Kc method crop coefficients optimized from inverse modeling adjustment suggested FAO-56 ...

This paper presents a coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) model for simulating failure processes in geological media. The coupling between stress/strain and heat transfer describing how thermal expansion affects stress is based on the theory of thermo-elasticity. Additionally, fluid flow pore-pressure governed by Biot's consolidation theory. Stress/strain-dependent porosity/permeability/...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) attract widespread research interest due to their exceptional properties. However, the instability of perovskite layer, especially moisture instability, and existing defects seriously restrict performance limit development PSCs towards commercialization. Herein, we fabricate moisture-stable efficient by incorporating a thiamine (THM) additive into lead iodide (PbI2...

The formation of bacterial regrowth and disinfection by-products is ubiquitous in chlorinated water distribution systems (WDSs) operated with organic loads. A generic, easy-to-use mechanistic model describing the fundamental processes governing interrelationship between chlorine, total carbon (TOC), bacteria to analyze spatiotemporal quality variations WDSs was developed using EPANET-MSX. repre...

Abstract In the present work, fully coupled dynamic thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) model was employed to investigate advantage and disadvantages of supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) over water as geofluids. Low-temperature zone found in both SCCO2-enhanced geothermal system (EGS) water-EGS systems, but spatial expansion is higher water-EGS. Although, SCCO2 into rock matrix will help geo-sequestration, s...

Clarifying the interrelationship between climate and land use/land cover (LULC) changes on water yield in mountainous areas is very urgent due to dramatic decrease availability of areas. In this study, InVEST model was used calculate area Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region (BTH) from 1980 2020, six scenarios were designed identify contribution rates LULC change yield. The results showed that, 1980–20...

Chlorine was first used to purify water in the United States almost 100 years ago (1). Since that time, the technique has been improved upon and its use expanded so that most water systems today are disinfected (1). In 1995, approximately 64 percent of community water systems (systems that provide water to the same people year-round) specifically added chlorine as a disinfectant, and the remain...

There is much debate on the carcinogenic potential of disinfection by-products (DBP) in chlorinated water supplies. Until recently, epidemiological studies have been limited in their ability to examine accurately the risk of cancer with exposure to environmental carcinogens. This has largely been due to the long latency periods associated with cancer development, and the difficulties in accurat...
