The utility’s networks display undesirable failure rates (pipe breaks) and the energy bill for pumping is higher than would appear reasonable; the network has unflattering water losses and localized pressure problems during peak consumption hours remain. How would we act? How ...
Systems became more complex when businesses and utilities starting charging for water. In16thcenturyLondon, customers paid a fixed charge per unit of time that did not depend on water use[26]. Revenue from fixed charges were adequate to cover all costs, most of which were fixed[31]. This ...

Extreme weather and climate events such as super typhoons and unprecedented recorded high intensity rainfall events have increased in recent years due to climate change. Such extreme weather events generate floods and cause loss of life and property. The
past landscapes. The connectivity between two water sources in our study does not depend on fixed properties based on their location, but arises as an emergent property of the simulated system’s constituent units (the agents) and their interactions with the terrain. The landscape is heterogeneous...

and shrinkage (Hernández and Bizoň1994). These methods yield FSP values in the 38.5–42.5 % MC range for different softwood species. There is thus a difference of about 10 % moisture between the FSP around 30 % MC which is obtained if a change in how strongly a physical property of ...

Primary discussion points around the role of Berliners were not about openness and dialogue, but more narrowly defined in terms of specific users and uses (mainly bathing) or challenges such as surface sealing and property drainage. Language used mainly involved campaigns, awareness and education, ...
