This paper summarises the paper presentation sessions at the Conference, as well giving insights on the issues related to developing countries. It also discusses the present status of practice and research on water and wastewater management, and projected future scenario based not only on the papers presented in the Conference, but also on other sources. The strategy is presented to overcome ma...

Precipitation changes and urban growth are two factors altering the state of water quality. Changes in precipitation will alter the amount and timing of flows, and the corresponding sediment and nutrient dynamics. Meanwhile, densification associated with urban growth will create more impervious surfaces which will alter sediment and nutrient loadings. Land and water managers rely on models to d...

Fecal coliform bacteria cause water quality problems for many urban areas across the United States. The objective of this study is to determine if the Irwin Creek and Sugar Creek wastewater treatment plants, located near Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, contribute significantly to the fecal coliform concentrations in the creeks. Fecal coliform densities in the wastewater effluen...

demand for water resources in different parts of the world, necessitate the use of wastewater. in using wastewater the soil health must be considered. this study was carried out at green space zob ahan in the years 1382 to 1385. in this study, the effects of urban and industrial wastewater irrigation on some chemical properties of soil for three years by using five different irrigation treatmen...

This paper presents an overview of causes of sewer deterioration together with a discussion of control methods that can prevent or arrest this deterioration. In particular, the paper covers inlineand combined sewer overflow(CSO) storage-tank-flushing systems for removal of sediments and minimizing hydrogen sulfide production resulting in the reduction of associated pollution and sewerline corro...

Treated wastewater has the potential to be a feasible alternative supply non-potable uses and avoid water scarcity in urban areas, but it is important understand compare associated energy consumption CO2 emissions. This study presents comparative analysis of water–energy nexus with traditional reuse treated wastewater, both for purposes. A case Portuguese municipality was considered, regarding ...

The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and spatial metrics aimed at improving the analysis and modeling of urban growth and land use change. While remote sensing data have been used in urban modeling and analysis for some time, the proposed combination of remote sensing and spatial metrics for that purpose is quite novel. Starting with a review of recent developments in each of...
