2015b) followed the same approach to evaluate the performance of the UK water industry. Moreover, from the regulator perspective, Ofwat assumes that the water and sewerage operations of WaSCs are fully separable (Ofwat 2009). Since production frontiers were computed using DEA, the “Cooper’s ...

Water in contact with mining materials and waste may become acidic through oxidation of sulfidic minerals associated with coal, such as pyrite (FeS2), which releases Fe2+, SO42−, and H+to the water. As pH decreases other minerals may also dissolve, releasing more ions (e.g. Al3+, Mn2...
The environmental resources perspective comprises all forms of natural resources, without damaging human health, and tolerating eco-systems [10]. Mousa and Othman [17] argued that applying technology and innovation in STRM can foster environmental values with efficient on-resource utilization and inventor...
Regarding the current “take-make-dispose” linear economic model, developing a circular economy based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems seems to be the only solution to the resource-security problem worldwi...
The impact of mine waste on the environment can pose serious risks since tit can contain reactive mineralogical phases able to generate acidic drainage (e.g., [4,5]) and release toxic elements to the surface and groundwater systems [6,7]. In contaminated soils, heavy metals can be ...

could sharpen the industry’s ability to emphasize climate model limitations and potentially make global warming appear less alarming, such as work on aerosols and clouds at the Hadley Center in the UK and studies on carbon uptake by oceans at Columbia University in the US (IPIECA, 1992, p. ...
These treated effluents are used to wash and irrigate green spaces to save drinking water. In addition, the design, construction, and operation of wastewater treatment systems in accordance with the regulations and instructions approved by the Department of the Environment are always on the agenda. ...
