A commonly addressed aspect of urban planning involves the integration nature-based solutions (NBS). Before applying NBS, acquiring stakeholders' viewpoints, e.g., city councils, local governments, and academia, contributes to successful application thus mitigation global challenges such as climate change, loss biodiversity, water, food scarcity. The present study explores how stakeholders across Europe view role NBS in planning. thematic analysis was conducted identify patterns, themes,...
This study evaluated the impact of incorporating earthworms (Eisenia fetida) on drained water quality from a sludge treatment reed bed. The experiment encompassed four setups beds in two replicates: planted with Arundo donax and addition earthworms, without unplanted bed plants nor as control. units were fed every weeks mixed sewage sludge, blend primary secondary over 24 cycles. had mean dry volatile solid contents 24.71 g.DS.L−1 (± 13.67) 19.14 g.VS.L−1 10.29) resulting loading rate 43.59...
To ensure the successful implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), it is essential to assess perception key stakeholders. visualize NBS stakeholders and identify potential opportunities eventual conflicting interests, five groups were identified: i) academics, ii) governments, iii) NGOs, iv) water companies, v) local communities. Semi-structured interviews with representatives these conducted across Iceland. The transcribed using Vivo coding, an open-coded method. 170 variables found...
Sludge treatment reed bed planted (STRB) with Phragmites australis (P.australis) and Arundo donax (A.donax) was assessed in the presence of Eisenia fetida under control condition during dry season. Worm-planted units were fed mixed sewage sludge (dry volatile solids 29.44 g DS.L

A pilot-scale study on sludge treatment reed beds investigated the combined effects of earthworms and Arundo donax sewage dewatering residual quality. Four units were tested: one planted with earthworms, without unplanted control, each unit replicated. Over a year, 24 cycles (dry volatile solid contents 24.71 g.L

Removing suspended solids and colloids are one of the most important water treatment processes. In this research, experimental tests have been done to assess effects pH different doses PACL on turbidity removal efficiency. The optimum dose poly aluminum chloride (PACL) for removing was also determined. Turbidity created artificially by adding Kaolin with six initial turbidities between 20 300 NTU rested half an hour. results showed that best efficiency at natural water. optimal consumption...
Nowadays, problems and barriers to supply adequate water addressenvironmental issues have caused wastewater treatment (WWT) be considered a high priority. In light of costs WWT, using natural capacities reduce pollution could potentially economically significant. this paper, the impact varying temperature channel roughness has been investigated on quality parameters theQUAL2K (Q2K) Numerical Model. The results show, as increases, reduction rate Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is more than...
<p>Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) like Sludge Treatment Reed Beds (STRBs) can address resource recovery from sewage sludge in urban and rural areas to boost circular economy mitigate climate change. To ensure successful implementation of STRBs, an evaluation stakeholders’ perceptions be helpful identify relevant barriers opportunities. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders, which categorized 5 interest groups including...
