this paper gives an account of the implementation of geomorphological, hydrogeological, hydrochemical and isotopic techniques to understand groundwater-surface water interactions in a multiple use area, los padres-la brava corridor (se of buenos aires province, argentina). the isophreatic map reveals a regional flow from the sw to ne sector, and allowed us to define the effluent-influent behavi...

This paper aims to propose a more efficient distributed monitoring and control approach for water utility in order to reduce the current water loss. This approach will help utilities operators improve water management systems, especially by exploiting the emerging technologies. The Internet of Things could prove to be one of the most important methods for developing more utility-proper systems ...

Maintaining the critical infrastructures, such as Drinking Water Treatment Plants (DWTP), transportation, power generation and communications systems, in a safe state is a complex problem. The effective collaboration, as well as the collection aggregation and dissemination of early warning information among the stakeholders of the Safety Management System (SMS) responsible for the safety of the...

The German–Vietnamese water-related information system for the Mekong Delta (WISDOM) project supports business processes in Integrated Water Resources Management in Vietnam. Multiple disciplines bring together earth and ground based observation themes, such as environmental monitoring, water management, demographics, economy, information technology, and infrastructural

Nowadays, the water supply and water demand management are the main issues in water resources planning. It is more important in a river basin with a complex system facing with droughts, climate changes, inter-basin water transfer and operational and under study dams. In this paper, for water resources planning in a river basin and reducing the difference between water resources and water demand...

Water resources projects are inherited with overlapping and at times conflicting objectives. These projects are often of varied sizes ranging from major projects with command areas of millions of hectares to very small projects implemented at the local level. Thus, in all these projects there is seldom proper coordination which is essential for ensuring collective sustainability. Integrated wat...

Water has several unique physical and chemical properties that have influenced Life as it has evolved. Indeed the very concept of Life on the Earth is dependent on water supply. Although the total volume of fresh water on Earth is only a small fraction of that in the oceans, the biological and environmental role of freshwater systems is considerable. Environmental management of water systems (r...
