This paper presents a water-restricted multi-regional input–output model to evaluate the economic impacts of water supply reductions in Canadian Great Lakes Basin (GLB), one largest freshwater reservoirs world. The proposed model, first its kind applied GLB, aims minimize impact disruptions on GLB-economy, measured by loss GDP. A new flexible optimization procedure is introduced, capable imposing resource constraints and ensuring minimal levels for intermediate final consumption at same...
Abstract The Great Lakes (GL) in North America are among the largest freshwater resources on planet facing serious eutrophication problems as a result of excessive nutrient loadings due to population and economic growth. More than third Canada's GDP is generated around GL. Hence, interests affected by pollution control high. New policies reduce often insufficiently informed lack integrated models methods that provide decision‐makers insight into direct indirect impacts their policies. This...
There is an increasing presence of a population British and Irish origin in southeastern Spain.this native from countries with higher rates living kidney donation than Spain will be very much favour related donation.to analyse the attitude this subgroup towards donation.Between November 2005 April 2006, random sample was taken residents (n = 1700) stratified by respondent's nationality. Attitude evaluated using validated questionnaire that completed anonymously self-administered.The...
The field of Water Resources Management (WRM) is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, realizing its direct connections with energy, food, and social economic sciences, among others. Computationally, this leads to more complex models, wherein the achievement multiple goals sought. Optimization processes have found various applications in such WRM problems. This entry considers main factors involved modern WRM, puts them a single optimization problem, including water allocation from...
Complex agricultural problems concern many countries, as a result of competing economic and environmental objectives. In this work we model three common through optimization techniques: water-scarce area with overexploited surface groundwater resources due to over-pumping for irrigation (Greece); an facing water quality deterioration caused by agriculture (Canada); intensified animal farming degradation increased greenhouse gases emissions (Ireland). Multiple goals are considered optimize...
Abstract The objective of this study is to identify the optimal spatial distribution Best Management Practices (BMPs) reduce total phosphorus (TP) runoff from agricultural land in largest Canadian watershed draining into Lake Erie, Great most vulnerable eutrophication. BMP measures include reduced fertilizer application, cover crops, buffer strips, and restoration wetlands. Environmental SWAT model results feed a optimization procedure using two separate functions distinguish between public...
Water resources and water-related sectors are increasingly affected by multiple challenges such as climate change extreme events, issues of ageing infrastructure, natural qualitative water scarcity, recession, wars, population movements, increased energy resource demand, etc. In an attempt to balance different goals allocation under constraints, we present a multi-objective optimization model. The model considers various supply sources (groundwater, surface water, desalinated treated...
The present work aims at approximating the reduction of sulphate to sulphide caused by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) inside Canadian deep geological repository in order calculate expected lifetime used nuclear fuel containers (UFCs). Previous studies have assumed a conservative constant concentration host rock interface. novelty this study resides use first-order kinetics explicitly account for SRB-induced production. This reaction term is developed following an empirical approach using...
