Wind energy has been firmly established as the most significant contributor to renewable energy resources (Council GWE, 2019, Yasmeen et al., 2023, Cevik and Ninomiya, 2023). While wind energy harvesting through on-shore and shallow-water off-shore wind farms has been subject to extensive ...
Most of the publications regarding optimally sizing RWHS were found in “Resources, Conservation and Recycling”, followed by the “Journal of Hydrology” and “Journal of Cleaner Production”. The distribution of the publications is summarized in Fig. 3. Download: Download full-size image Fig. ...
Concrete with smart and functional properties (e.g., self-sensing, self-healing, and energy harvesting) represents a transformative direction in the field of construction materials. Energy-harvesting concrete has the capability to store or convert the ambient energy (e.g., light, thermal, and mec...
Burgeoning population growth and subsequent demand for freshwater, besides competition among irrigation, domestic, and industrial sectors, coupled with a changing climate, have necessitated prudent and effective management of water resources. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is considered one of the most effectiv...

Iran as a special case has experienced major population growth in a very short period (over about 40 years), which has put significant stress on its water resources. This increased pressure on water and land resources could ultimately lead to a major threat to wildlife ecosystems and endangered...
6. Conclusions The study presented a case study entitled the 'Whole House Reuse' (WHR) project from Christchurch, New Zealand, involving deconstruction and material reuse of resources embodied in a family house. The project illustrated both the challenges and opportunities in deconstruction processes....
Large wave energy resources can be found across the globe. Simultaneously, regimes vary significantly between places, resulting in a wide range of technologies [39]. Figure 3 depicts the global map of the wave power density. The map shows the wave and tide trends, and the colors show the ...

This paper discusses the effectiveness of rooftops rainwater harvesting (RRWH) in addressing domestic water scarcity, emphasizing the West Bank (Palestine) as an example of arid to semi-arid areas with limited water resources. The paper deals with the actual and future water demand by considering ...
