The ability to resolve closely spaced frequencies of two high-resolution AR spectral methods, the Burg's and Marple's approaches, is examined by using time series of coastal currents measured in waters of Canary Islands. We emphasise their usefulness to resolve tidal harmonic components with close frequencies and low frequency components.

The large irrigation expansion of the last 50 years has significantly increased pressures over water resources in EU Mediterranean basins. Under these circumstances water pricing has been especially encouraged, since within the EU policy context it is widely believed that higher water prices reduce water demand. This paper presents a Revealed Preference Model that provides a clear intuition of ...

The City of Mississauga in Ontario has been experiencing a fast urban growth in the past two decades which has caused rapid loss of the valuable farm and open space land. Land-use and land-cover maps of the City were produced from Landsat TM images for 1985 and 1999, spanning a period of 14 years. Dramatic changes in land use and land cover have occurred, with loss of forest, cropland and water...

The modelling of river processes involves numerous uncertainties, resulting in uncertain model results. Knowledge of the type and magnitude of uncertainties is crucial for a meaningful interpretation of the model results and the usefulness of results in decision making processes. This case study comprises an uncertainty analysis of the effect of the discharge data used for calibration on the wa...

Abstract Stormwater utility fees provide dedicated revenues for managing stormwater. In setting fees, household-level affordability should be considered. Existing research does not address methods to evaluate the of stormwater especially alongside other household water costs. This paper aims fill that gap. We present a scenario-based approach in municipality, which considers essential service c...
