Abstract:

An integrated technical-economic modelling framework was developed to help planning and managing of water resources in a Mediterranean tourist area, Palma on Majorca island (Spain). Due to high water demand, groundwater resources are depleted and new water resources should be developed. Seawater desalination has become an important solution to water shortage, especially in the summer tourist season. Meanwhile, reclaimed water has been applied for agricultural and landscape irrigation. With regard to the treated wastewater not being effectively reused, further water reuse scenarios are envisage

Abstract:

Factors affecting the feasibility of water reclamation and reuse in an urban environment are discussed with special focus on reclaimed water quality and reuse applications. Water supplied to a city undergoes only small changes in quality and thus becomes a valuable resource ready for reuse and under local control. Successful development of water reuse must take into consideration technical, financial and social aspects. The quality of the reclaimed water must be matched to its intended use and alternative means of its distribution should be considered. Regional population growth patterns and t

Abstract:

The reuse of upgraded wastewater for beneficial uses is increasingly adopted and accepted as a tool in water management. However, funding of schemes is still a critical issue. The focus of this paper is on economic considerations of water reuse planning. A survey of pricing mechanisms for reclaimed water revealed that most schemes are subsidised to a great extent. In order to minimise these state contributions to the implementation and operation of reuse projects, their planning should identify a least cost design option. This also has to take into account the established pricing structure for

Abstract:

Increasing water scarcity is encouraging the use of unconventional water resources. In recent years, the European Union has launched numerous initiatives to promote and facilitate water reuse for agricultural irrigation. Today, the use of reclaimed water for agriculture has become an alternative, reliable and safe source of water supply and an indispensable water planning tool, especially in the area of southern Europe. However, water reuse for irrigation is currently far below its potential. Numerous barriers prevent its development and call for a detailed analysis of the different aspects af

Abstract:

Water scarcity is a driver for society to rethink water management and change the paradigm of use to a fit-for-purpose approach—i.e., separating potable water for human consumption (drinking, cooking or personal hygiene) from all non-potable uses that do not require the same quality level. In this context, urban water reuse is a relevant tool for municipalities and metropolitan areas when dealing with pressure on water resources, among several alternative water sources that can be considered in a site-specific and integrated manner.

The reuse of wastewater aims to mobilize and treat, for certain uses and under certain conditions, water that has already been used. Rather than discharging wastewater into the natural environment, this practice aims to recover it by replacing the mobilization of water withdrawn from the environment [van Loosdrecht and Brdjanovic, 2014]. By moving from a linear logic of the mobilization and use of water to a circular approach, the objective pursued is to reduce the pressure, qualitative then quantitative, on the resources while limiting, as far as possible, the usage conflicts.

Abstract:

The use of wastewater on short rotation plantations (SRP) can be an effective way of wastewater treatment as well as a source of water and nutrients for growing plants. Wastewater nutrient reusing is necessary, especially in the case of nutrients which come from non‐renewable resources, as phosphorus. The production of mineral fertilisers is usually a resource‐consuming and energy‐consuming process. Nutrient removal from wastewater in conventional wastewater treatment technologies is also energy‐consuming and expensive. That's why the reuse of nutrients from the waste streams is very important

It is common practice in the U.S. to crush old concrete pavements at the end of their service lives into recycled concrete aggregate and then reuse them in the base course of new pavements. It is not, however, common to use the recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in the new concrete pavement itself. This paper examines the sustainability and, in particular, the economics of using RCA in the construction of new concrete pavements. Life cycle cost analyses were performed for various hypothetical pavement construction scen

Abstract:

Due to aging infrastructure, frequent wastewater network overflows, and potential charges for stormwater disposal, there is a need to find alternative approaches to stormwater management. Rain gardens and rainwater harvesting systems are widely used in local areas such as private homes, small businesses, and parking lots. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct an economic analysis of two alternative solutions – a storage tank with water reuse and a rain garden. The cost-benefit analysis was based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of each approach in reducing stormwater runoff volu

Abstract:

One of the key issues in the field of process systems engineering is the issue of sustainability. In addition to economic and energy efficiency, the processes must also be environmentally sustainable, which will minimize the harmful impact on the environment. For this purpose, various methods are used that are based on the use of process heuristics, thermodynamic analysis and mathematical programming. In a systematic way, they enable the identification of places of inefficient use of raw materials, water and energy, as well as minimizing the discharge of waste streams from the process, while r

Abstract:

Onsite non-potable reuse (NPR) is being increasingly considered as a viable option to address water scarcity and infrastructure challenges, particularly at the building scale. However, there are a range of possible treatment technologies, source water options, and treatment system sizes, each with its unique costs and benefits. While demonstration projects are proving that these systems can be technologically feasible and protective of public health, little guidance exists for identifying systems that balance public health protection with environmental and economic performance.

Abstract:

Research was conducted at a chicken transfer station to assess ecological treatment and resource utilization. The study examined three aspects: wastewater ecological treatment, resource utilization maximization, and process optimization. Process design and operation monitoring were carried out to treat and reuse wastewater from a chicken feeder station over two periods. The first period was operated in 2014, adopting the mode of pretreatment plus a constructed wetland. Results show that the relevant indicators basically meet the regulatory requirements at that time.

In order to mitigate the significant electricity consumption in poultry farming the anaerobic digestion (AD) has been adopted. This study aimed to obtain information about the dilution, solid/liquid separation, mass balance, and reuse of the biofertilizer (recycle) to dilute poultry litter and to promote water saving while generating an organic fertilizer richer in nutrients. Five dilutions (1:4, 1:6, 1:8, 1:10, and 1:12) were submitted to mass balance test followed or not by solid/liquid separation on a sieve. The fractions of the dilutions 1:6 to 1:10 (poultry litter:water, w:v) were subject

Abstract:

Water has complex cost dimensions and is considered a scarce commodity under a reduced-recycle-reuse system with a full cost recovery strategy. The impact of externalities from the social, economic, and ecological aspects of exploiting water resources are often not accounted into the pricing mechanism. We discuss the current work model as well as a pricing strategy for a water infrastructure program with a full cost recovery strategy. Single and multi-block pricing models are created, and their effect on water pricing is discussed. The impact of externalities is accounted for, and respective c

Mining companies are responsible for the impacts that result from their mining activities even after the mining period has ended. At the same time, at the European and international levels, there is a lack of a detailed operational methodology comprising environmental risks during and after closure of underground coal mines. The environmental risk aspects that need to be considered when planning the closure of an underground coal mine and post closure in the broader environmental context are the following: modification of water flow scheme, surface instability, mine gas emission on the surface
