Water scarcity in the Mediterranean region requires adoption of new and optimized water resources management tools that allow a progressive climate change adaptation, being one main drivers for employment alternative storage measures such as Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR). To promote implementation these measures, this study evaluates application MAR feasibility index mapping to southern Portugal, employing Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). A participatory approach – developed within...
Urban allotment gardens (AGs) provide a unique combination of productive and recreational spaces for the inhabitants European cities. Although reasons behind decision to have plot, as well mode use gardening practices, are recognised in literature, these issues mainly considered relation particular case studies within single country. The regional diversity is still poorly understood, however. This knowledge gap became an incentive us carry out present study. research was conducted seven...
Soil aquifer treatment (SAT) using secondary treated wastewater effluent (STWW) as infiltration feedwater is an increasingly discussed measure to mitigate groundwater level decline. It may also act additional stage for the attenuation of emerging organic compounds (EOCs), e.g., pharmaceuticals and industrial agents, which STWW still contains in varying amounts. Hence, understanding behaviour EOCs SAT systems, both unsaturated saturated zone, prior implementation operation, high importance....
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to water resources in southern Portugal. To understand the potential impacts on surface and groundwater resources, this study employed daily sequential soil-water budget model (BALSEQ) under two representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios, RCP 4.5 8.5, spanning periods 2020–2060 2061–2100. An analysis of meteorological observations EURO-CORDEX climate projections showed decline annual rainfall, particularly 8.5. Monthly rainfall...
This paper aims to present a Wireless Sensor Network using Libelium Smart Water kit allow remote water quality monitoring communication in real time. Equipped with multiple sensors that measure the most relevant parameters, can be connected internet (using mobile broadband connection) for real-time control. The parameters measured include pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature. platform includes three ultra-low power sensor nodes designed use...
Soil-Aquifer Treatment systems are increasingly seen as a relatively inexpensive and complementary water quality enhancement process, which may be particularly relevant in scarcity scenarios. In this context, set of soil-column experiments were conducted aiming to replicate the conditions infiltration basins using soil depuration media for wastewater increment previous managed aquifer recharge. The results showed decrease contaminants analysed, when comparing inflow concentrations, showing...
In the Algarve southern Portugal region, Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) research activities have been developed to provide not only water surplus storage in aquifers during wet years, focusing Querença-Silves aquifer (FP6 ASEMWATERNet Coordination Action), but also groundwater quality rehabilitation Campina de Faro Gabardine Project). Following MAR potentialities Portugal, this paper describes objectives, conceptual demonstration, background and capabilities of one selected...
