Disparity in water supply and demand is growing, with potentially huge ramifications. Solving this water 'gap' is vital to the industry. Read blog How technology builds water resilience BIM and cloud are unlocking previously impossible levels ofwater assetoptimization, including accomodating for climate...
The latter not only helps to restore water resources but also conserves the water supply by effective recycling. Advanced sewage-treatment facilities have made it possible to obtain potable water purer than most stream water. Projects to remove salt and other dissolved solids from brackish surface ...
The global component of freshwater demand and supply: an assessment of virtual water flows between nations as a result of trade in agricultural and industr... The global component of freshwater demand and supply: an assessment of virtual water flows between nations as a result of trade in ...
Based on the water price model of comprehensive indicators, the demand and supply are considered simultaneously by using the method of fuzzy mathematics, which is highly dynamic and can relatively accurately evaluate the value of water resources and calculate the water price. However, there is...
Water utilities worldwide report a range of figures for NRW and losses because the figures are influenced by a variety of factors such as the age and condition of the pipes, supply pressures, efficiency of leak and waste prevention measures, how the unmetered demand is estimated and the ...
water supply and to keep many key terrestrial ecosystems alive3. In many parts of the world, excess water exploration due to increasing water demand has threatened their long-term viability4,5. The encroachment of seawater into coastal aquifers and the removal of water from coastal aquifers have...
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANNING (IRP) A method for looking ahead using environmental, engineering, social, financial and economic considerations; includes using the same criteria to evaluate both supply and demand options while involving customers and other stakeholders in the process. IRRIGATION EFFICIENCY ...
even the lowest supply of the moisture flux across the seasons has the potential to produce enough water to sustain a sizable population. Storage capacity created through reservoirs can be an effective way to mute the seasonality and provide consistent yield for usage. The finding illustrates that ...
Calculation of unified weight When determining the weights of indicators for the comprehensive evaluation of the resilience of urban water supply systems for multiple years and regions, both vertically and horizontally, the weights of the calculated indicators differed due to the different data from year...
they supply 80% of the world’s energy use5. The growing demand for energy, especially in rapidly developing countries such as China6, Brazil7and India8, has stimulated an expansion of renewable energy. Hydropower is often a key component in achieving renewable energy targets as part of climat...
