In order to maintain and improve the water quality in European rivers, Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires an integrated approach for assessing a river basin. Although WFD aims at holistic understanding of ecosystem functioning, it does not explicitly establish cause-effect relationships between stressors changes aquatic communities. To overcome this limitation, present study combines typical physicochemical biological approaches with ecotoxicological approach. The main goal was assess...
Abstract Efficiency optimization of urban water systems is a growing concern for utilities worldwide. This case study aimed at evaluating the impact using cloud-based tools on reduction both real (real-time network monitoring) and apparent losses (integrated customer meters management) in two utilities. The incorporation smart solutions with methodology management operation allowed us to diagnose, prioritize areas define actions improve efficiency. Using real-time monitoring tool categorize...
Abstract Optimizing the efficiency of urban water systems is a growing concern for utilities worldwide. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are crucial in maintaining quality and resource recovery world facing challenges such as climate change, water-energy-food nexus increase legal requirements users' expectations. Thus, adopting performance assessment system (PAS) utmost importance to assess operating conditions identify critical aspects WWTP which can negatively affect its effectiveness,...
Digitalization and knowledge management in the water sector, their impacts on performance, greatly depend two factors: human capacity digital maturity. To understand link between capacity, maturity, six AGS retail utilities were compared with all Portuguese using benchmark data (2011–2019). achieved better results, including compound performance indicators, which are assumed to be surrogates for These indicators also found correlate positively performance. In fact, show levels of non-revenue...
By leveraging performance assessment systems (PASs) and incorporating targeted strategies, utilities can enhance the overall effectiveness, reliability, efficiency, environmental of their wastewater treatment facilities. This work presents results obtained from a comprehensive analysis reliability energy three plants (WWTPs). The allowed identifying, for each WWTP, improvement needs related to aeration requirements, as well determine effluent concentration targets required achieve higher...
Abstract Efficiency is a key topic nowadays in the water sector as customers' expectations are continuously increasing, legislation becomes more demanding, utilities become exposed to public opinion and increasing towards high-quality service at an affordable cost both combined with high risk avoidance. The implementation of efficiency projects, such non-revenue (NRW) reduction projects fundamental from economic environmental perspective. However, decisions on these often reduced short-term...
