Water scarcity is a problem of global relevance that affecting more and people in the world. Latin America Caribbean (LAC) have around 35% world’s renewable water resources. However, management resources inequality access to has made growing interest region. The reuse could be an efficient measure reduce demand for area. In particular, greywater simple decentralized method reuse, which would mi...

Water reclamation and reuse are an important means to alleviate the shortage of water resources. This paper proposes several different decision-making models investigate what participants in industrial recycling, including users, suppliers, local governments, should do situations. In models, decision logics about presented. Finally, used a case study some meaningful results obtained. The explai...

Wastewater reclamation holds promise as an important water resource as the desire to develop arid regions continues to place increasing demands on finite water resources. The debate surrounding the consumption of reclaimed wastewater finds risk managers pondering the question of what types of water quality standards might be set in order to provide the proper level of safety associated with the...

The concentrations of metals in the buried marine sediment and groundwater were differently affected by land reclamation. Nine metals (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in sediment and coastal groundwater from reclamation areas in Shenzhen were examined. The gradually decreased concentrations (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn) in sediment and relatively higher concentrations (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and...

Pollution and increasing water demand, especially for agriculture, put severe stress on freshwater sources, as a result, there is progressive deficit in the global supply scarcity projected coming decades. Discharges from domestic, industrial agricultural activities are potential sources of pollution, impacting human environmental health. In face growing droughts, coupled with demand irrigation...

In Sardinia, as in many other Mediterranean regions, recurrent droughts and climate change have dramatically reduced available water resources. As a result of this critical situation, in 1995 the Italian Government declared a state of emergency and drew up a program for financial support by the State and local authorities with the aim of reducing this serious deficit. One of the actions focused...

Land reclamation has been a common practice to produce valuable land in coastal areas. The impact of land reclamation on coastal environment and marine ecology is well recognized and widely studied. It has not been recognized yet that reclamation may change the regional ground water regime, which may in turn modify the coastal environment, flooding pattern, and stability of slopes and foundatio...

Current EU policy will force a significant reduction of hard coal mines in the near future due to environmental restrictions. There are also numerous non-coal underground that be excavated next few years. Taking above into consideration, it is worth starting plan further steps terms reclamation these facilities. Within this manuscript, both recently used and novel approaches space have been rev...

Abstract With the continuous development and expansion of water reclamation reuse market, it is vital to ensure quality safety stability over entire system. Because reclaimed distinct from that drinking water, likely deteriorate, even after advanced treatment, during distribution transport. This review identifies common microbial corrosion in pipelines end use applications (e.g. industrial cool...

As a way of turning sea into land for living space for humans, the actions of sea reclamation bring about significant benefits. Nevertheless, it is also an under-recognized threat to the environment and the marine ecosystem. Based on images in two periods, sea reclamation information of countries around the South China Sea was extracted from 1975 to 2010. The spatial state and driven forces of ...
