Selection of appropriate river water treatment methods is important for the restoration ecosystems. An in-depth review different technologies has been carried out in this study. Among physical-engineering processes, aeration an effective, sustainable and popular technique which increases microbial activity degrades organic pollutants. Other engineering techniques (water diversion, mechanical algae removal, hydraulic structures dredging) are effective as well, but they cost intensive...
Global warming and climate change have been two much-debated topics in recent times due to their malevolent consequences not only ecosystems, but also the human race. They are indeed negative by-products of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The transportation sector is a major contributor GHG emissions, accounting for approximately 20 percent all carbon dioxide (co2) emissions globally, road accounts large majority those This paper reviews literature related produced by construction,...
Abstract Rainfall is the key climate variable that governs spatial and temporal availability of water. In this study we identified monthly rainfall trends their relation to southern oscillation index (SOI) at ten stations across Australia covering all state capital cities. The nonparametric Mann–Kendall (MK) test was used for identifying significant trends. trend free pre‐whitening approach (TFPW) remove effects serial correlation in dataset. beginning year approximated using cumulative...
ABSTRACT The intention of this study was to identify a suitable Generalized Linear Model ( GLM ) for modelling multi‐site daily rainfall in the Onkaparinga catchment South Australia and examine suitability model downscaling General Circulation GCM projections. A applied downscaled using National Centers Environmental Prediction/National Center Atmospheric Research NCEP / NCAR reanalysis datasets. Nineteen large‐scale atmospheric circulation variables were selected at first these eventually...
ABSTRACT Spatial and temporal characteristics of rainfall in the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) were investigated. The region is divided into four climate zones (East Coast, Mountains, Gravel Plains Desert Foreland) distinguished distribution. patterns, probability occurrences, intensity‐duration‐frequency IDF relationship, probable maximum precipitation PMP drought scenarios Daily data from a network stations across used. Standard statistical techniques applied for analyses. Gumbel, log...
Abstract Rainfall characteristics at different temporal resolutions play a significant role in sustainable urban water management. In this study we attempted to identify the and variability of point rainfall measured Melbourne, Australia. Statistical moments, lag1 autocorrelation, Buishand's Q test for homogeneity, Mann–Kendall (MK) trend wavelet analyses were carried out intensities 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12 h monthly depths proportion dry ratios. Series scales ratios accumulated from high...
Urban water demand is influenced by a variety of factors such as climate change, population growth, socio-economic conditions and policy issues. These variables are often correlated with each other, which may create problem in building appropriate forecasting model. Therefore, selection the predictor important for accurate prediction future demand. In this study, seven variable methods context multiple linear regression analysis were examined selecting optimal set long-term residential model...
ABSTRACT Nowadays, the apparel industry is highly competitive worldwide and requires correct application of industrial engineering techniques such as time study line balancing for productivity improvement. Productivity improvement in readymade garments mostly dependent on lead well cost production. This research aims to recommend an effective layout line‐balancing strategy so that downtime, process bottlenecks, number workstations, required personnel can be minimized improve efficiency...
Learning styles of most engineering students and teaching academic staff are incompatible in several dimensions. Many or visual, sensing, inductive active, whereas education is mostly verbal (auditory), abstract (intuitive), deductive, passive sequential. These mismatches lead to poor student performance, professorial frustration a barrier produce many potentially excellent engineers. The modern method involves contemporary learning practices using project program based learning, work...
ABSTRACT Rainfall is the key hydroclimatic variable that plays a vital role in development of regional water management policies. Assessment observed rainfall behaviour and its spatial temporal variations are therefore important for climate change adaptation measures. This study assessed trends step changes annual seasonal rainfalls across South Australian region. More than 100 years high‐quality data from 53 stations were analyzed using robust statistical techniques. The results presented...
Assessing the current levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road transportation projects allows for benchmarking and is essential potential reduction. The objective this study was to estimate GHG associated with construction operation three cases—two primary roads one secondary network—in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. produced by cases were estimated using RoadCO2 estimation tool. Results showed that total (in kg CO2e/m2/y) range 76 case 1100 cases. phase responsible 94–98% these...
Rainfall in Bangladesh exhibits persistent wet and dry anomalies associated with occurrence of floods droughts. Assessing inter‐annual variability rainfall is vital to account these hydrological extremes the design operations water systems. However, obtained from short record data might be misleading as it does not contain whole climate which signifies utmost importance stochastic models. Since models have been explored adequately for Bangladesh, this study evaluated (a) spatio‐temporal...
Bioretention basins and permeable pavements are two widely implemented water sensitive urban design (WSUD) technologies. While their applications extensive, effectiveness as a result of changes in rainfall patterns is an emerging important research question. This paper describes how these systems behave under varying conditions Australian cities. To illustrate this, parameters, namely emptying times for scour velocities bioretention systems, were investigated. The study revealed that there...
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) Water demand in the Emirate of Dhabi (EAD) has increased significantly over last few decades. Hence, a main challenge for EAD water policy makers is to develop long-term resilient resources strategies. This study evaluates future supply-demand condition and identifies management strategies that support sustainable future. A dynamic budget modelling framework used evaluate as affected by population growth, economic proposed related policies, consumption...
