While significant parts of the globe are already facing significant freshwater scarcity, the need for more freshwater is projected to increase in order to sustain the increasing global population and economic growth, and adapt to climate change. Current
There are various methodologies for calculating the ELL, but there is increasing concern that the calculation does not sufficiently recognize the real impact of environmental and social issues (the triple bottom line), some components of which are difficult to quantify in economic terms but are ...
These results are not in line with Long et al. (2017) observation, where a complete oil separation from kerosene/water emulsions stabilized by surfactin was achieved at 4.5 mM H2SO4. However, there is a number of major differences between the two studies. In this study, crude oil is used...
In line with the bureaucratic tendency in this frame and the rejection of things such as learning and stakeholder participation, low-tech games and human play are regarded as not very useful. From the interviews, it becomes clear that in frame NL1 the bureaucratic process can best be supported...
The message is said to be hard real-time if missing a deadline has catastrophic consequences. For instance, in a tsunami warning system, the message alerting the arrival of waves should be received in the coast with enough time to allow the evacuation of the people in the potentially ...
The 2018 edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report stated that nearly 6 billion peoples will suffer from clean water scarcity by 2050. This is the result of increasing demand for water, reduction of water resources, and increasing poll
by regularization constraints, e.g., Tikhonov regularization (Doherty2003; Moore et al.2010). Nevertheless, the simple parameterization scheme of a few sections is preferred here, as it yields acceptable results with fewer adjustable parameters (as parsimonious models) and at lower computational cost...
Owed to their simplicity, flexibility, lightweight, and low cost, plastics have become highly demanded in Africa as well as worldwide. However, the management of plastic wastes, particularly in African countries, is inadequate and most of the plastic debris is gatewayed into the water bodies. ...
To save on weight and maximize durability, most self-filtering bottles are made with BPA-free plastic, which shouldn’t affect the taste of your freshly filtered water, even if you’re carrying it around on a sunny summer day. A few that we tested in our lineup were made with durable...
the water pipes to the reservoirs.Then it travels through the water pipes to the river and to the special factories (we call water plants) that purify the water.When the water is purified,we can drink it.Please don’t leave garbage in the water on which we line,and keep the water ...
