Abstract:
The article presents the developed non-stationary two-dimensional hydrostatic model of wave propagation in the water area of the port of the Bay of Five Hunters, protected by a coastal protection structure in the form of a jetty. The tasks of the work included the development of a model based on the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations and a long-range assessment of the possible impact of the wave situation on marine objects in the port area. At present, the provision of hydrometeorological predictive information is one of the most important factors in the effective operation of port waters. The results are presented graphically using a geographic information system, where different wave heights and maximum wave amplitudes are displayed using a color palette. The consistency of the obtained results is shown, and refraction, diffraction, and interference are noted for the incoming wavefront.

Abstract:
Today, one of the other agronomic properties of this type of soil is that the amount of total nitrogen in the soil depends on the amount of humus in the soil. its amount varies from 0.05% to 0.15%. Typical gray soils are a very favorable medium for nitrification. The main part of nitrogen is found in the soil in the form of nitrate and is in a form that is easily absorbed by the plant. In most cases, the amount of total phosphorus is greater than the amount of total nitrogen. And in the upper layers of the soil, it is 0.1%-0.2%. Typical irrigated gray soils contain a lot of remains of roots and other parts of the plant, relatively low soil compaction, and humus is present in the plowed part of the soil. These processes have a negative impact on soil fertility. The possibilities of application to modern production, analysis of solving problems, elimination of excess water loss are the main tasks of today in the region.

Abstract:
Renewable energy technologies are infrequently evaluated with regard to water use for electricity generation; however traditional thermoelectric power generation uses approximately 50% of the water withdrawn in the US. To address problems of this water-energy nexus, we explore the replacement of existing electricity generation plants by renewable technologies, and the effect of this replacement on water use. Using a binary mixed integer linear programing model, we explore how the replacement of traditional thermoelectric generation with renewable solar and wind technologies can reduce future water demands for power generation. Three case study scenarios focusing on the replacement of the J.T. Deely station, a retiring coal thermoelectric generation plant in Texas, demonstrate a significant decrease in water requirements. In each case study, we replace the generation capacity of the retiring thermoelectric plant with three potential alternative technologies: solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, concentrated solar power (CSP), and horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT). The first case study, which was performed with no limits on the land area available for new renewable energy installations, demonstrated the water savings potential of a range of different technology portfolios. Our second case study examined the replacement while constrained by finite available land area for new installations. This demonstrated the trade-off between land-use efficient technologies with water-use efficiency. Results from our third case study, which explored the replacement of a gas-fired plant with a capacity equivalent to the J. T. Deely station, demonstrated that more water efficient thermoelectric generation technologies produce lower percentages of water savings, and in two scenarios the proposed portfolios require more water than the replaced plant. Comparison of multiple aspects of our model results with those from existing models shows comparable values for land-use per unit of electricity generation and proposed plant size. An evaluation of the estimated hourly generation of our model’s proposed solution suggests the need for a trade-off between the intermittency of a technology and the required water use. As we estimate the “costs� of alternative energy, our results suggest the need to include in the expression the resulting water savings.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Mechanical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015.<br>Access to adequate quantities of clean drinking water has become a serious issue on the worldwide level. This is particularly true in arid and rural areas where for the majority of people water is a limited and a vulnerable resource. These water sources which are often highly contaminated are potentially the cause for several diseases (waterborne diseases) and ultimately death especially in infants. Due to poverty and sometimes to the remote conditions of their regions, the population is unable to afford adequate water purification technologies, since they are relatively expensive and energy intensive. It is therefore vital to investigate appropriate water purification technology that people can afford or construct, operate and maintain themselves. A promising technology is solar distillation for the supply of drinking water on a small-scale level. It has proved to be a unique purification method as it can purify almost any type of water by using the high solar energy potential of the affected regions. The most basic form of solar distillation is the use of a single basin single slope solar still. However the downside of this technology is that it presents a low efficiency and productivity. To try to tackle this problem, many studies have been carried out to enhance productivity, effectiveness and efficiency of single-basin solar stills. In this present study, a solar distillation unit was designed, fabricated and experimentally tested. Its performance in terms of distillate output and energy efficiency was analysed under Cape Town conditions and compared to similar stills that have been reported in the literature. The main configuration of the solar still is a double glazed single basin solar still coupled to an external condenser. The study indicated that the performance of the solar still unit can be enhanced by increasing the evaporation rate which is a combined effect of solar radiation, ambient temperature, and the system components temperature. It was concluded that the applied techniques such as the external condenser, double glazing, good insulation and low level of water are effective. The unit was found to have an efficiency ranging between 21 and 29% over the test period and a mean distillate yield of about 2.5 litres per square meter was achieved per day.

Abstract:
The desert climate of Southern Arizona coupled with the overdraft of its groundwater resources, led to the passing of the 1980, Groundwater Management Act. The Act mandates the creation of management plans in designated areas of heavy overdraft. Of the four initial Active Management Areas (AMAs, three had management plans that were designed to secure sustainable yield of the aquifer by 2025. In 1994, the Arizona legislature created a fifth AMA by designating the southern part of the Tucson AMA as the Santa Cruz AMA (SCAMA). The purpose for this subdivision was to facilitate the bi- national negotiations for coordinated water resource management in this internationally shared basin. Additionally, the SCAMA is to coordinate the management of surface water and groundwater rights for public health, safety and welfare. A.R.S. § 45-411.04. The legislature also assigned the SCAMA the management goals of maintaining safe -yield conditions and preventing long -term declines in local water table levels. A.R.S. § 45- 562(C) (ADWR, 1999). This study is a result of a grant award from the 1999 Augmentation and Conservation Assistance Program in an attempt to investigate the availability of additional water supplies and water storage areas within the SCAMA.

Abstract:
Karst aquifers represent a significant source of water for about 1/4 of the world’s population. The water circulation in karst occurs mostly underground and it is mainly controlled by alternation of small conduits and large voids present in the rock massif. Such intricate void distribution combined with an irregular recharge provided by the rain results in fast and complex water flows with temporary accumulation of huge water volumes in the voids. The knowledge of the dynamics of such system is usually limited to the areas where a direct access to the vadose zone through speleological exploration is possible. Given the importance of such aquifers and their vulnerability it is important to have a detailed picture of the water dynamics and of the underground water paths. Gravimetry offers a valid complement to classical hydrologic measurements in order to monitor the recharge process. In this thesis, I show an innovative integration of gravimetric and hydrologic observations to constrain a hydrodynamic model of the Škocjan cave system (Slovenia). The Škocjan caves hydrology is mostly governed by the allogenic contribution of the Reka River, which during flood event causes the accumulation of several millions of m3 of water in the cave system for few hours. In 2018 I installed a continuous recording gravimeter nearby Škocjan which allowed the detection of several gravity transients related to the local hydrologic contribution. Gravity observations are sensitive to several other contributions apart the hydrology, such as Earth and marine tides, atmospheric mass redistribution, water mass variations in oceans. All these phenomena superpose their effects and should be carefully evaluated and removed before unveiling the local hydrology contribution. Before discussing the hydrologic gravity signals, the thesis illustrates the efforts in modelling and removing all the non-hydrologic related gravity contributions. The study area is close to the Adriatic Sea, hence global models of tidal and non-tidal ocean (NTO) gravity effects could be inadequate for the correction. I prove that while tidal models are sufficiently accurate to remove the marine tidal influence a dedicated correction of the NTO is required. This was fulfilled by modelling the gravity variations due to a 4D mass model of the NTO constrained by tide gauge observations. The gravity residuals, obtained after reducing the observations for all the non-hydrologic effects, revealed anomalies correlated to the Reka flooding; the transients lasted for 12-24 hours with amplitudes in the range 10-450 nm/s2. I focused my analysis on a large flood event in February 2019 that caused water level variations >90 m inside the caves and gravity variations >400 nm/s2. The gravity and the hydrologic data were used to constrain a hydraulic model of the cave system which approximated the cavity through a series of interconnected conduits with rectangular cross-section. I fitted hydrologic and gravity observations obtaining a 4D model of the water mass variations in the cave system; the model revealed that >3 106 m3 of water were temporary accumulated during the peak’s flood. The inclusion of gravity observations improves water mass budget of the caves, which previously were based relying only on hydrological observations. Finally, the gravity data allowed to draw some general conclusions on the detectability of water storage variations in karst through gravimetry. I assessed the noise level of the Škocjan gravimeter which is about 10 nm/s2 in the diurnal spectral band and which can be taken as representative of the noise level of a typical spring based gravimeter. Relying on realistic water level variations I estimated the expected gravity signals on surface due to temporary water accumulation in other caves of the Classical Karst. For all the considered caves the gravity signal is above the noise threshold, suggesting that a remote monitoring of the storage variations is feasible.<br>Karst aquifers represent a significant source of water for about 1/4 of the world’s population.

Abstract:
Abstract To achieve an optimal cathodic protection (CP) design for a bare steel structure, a high initial current density is required to give a rapid polarisation and a subsequent formation of a calcareous deposit. The formation of the calcareous deposit will lead to low maintenance and final current density demand. Today, field experience or field testing at the given location and depth are the only way the CP design current densities can be accurately established. Obviously, for the deepwater installations inadequate or over conservative design can lead to serious economic ramifications. It is therefore important to establish the actual requirements for design of CP systems for deep water well in advance of a field development. The present paper presents the results of testing in the Barents Sea area at depths down to about 500 m. The results show that very high initial current densities are required to give polarisation to a potential more negative than -0.80 V (Ag/AgCl). In these areas adequate CP can be achieved only if high initial current densities are applied (ii'&amp;gt;0.3A/m2). The current demand is highest close to the surface and will decrease with depth. The formation of the calcareous deposit on the steel reduces the CP current demand. To establish if such deposits are stable in the deep water areas a review of the characteristics of the calcareous deposits in the deep oceans is presented. The dominant calcareous deposit in cold waters is calcite, CaCO3. It is the kinetics which control the precipitation and dissolution of CaCO3 in the sea. Calcite which is the dominant CaCO3 mineral formed in deep cold water will not dissolve before the degree of saturation is less than 0.6. For most ocean areas the CaCO3 saturation (Ω) will be higher than 0.6. However, for some ocean areas (e.g. off West Africa) the saturation will be less than 0.6. In such areas the design of the CP system will require special considerations.

Abstract:
The Southeast Coast Network conducted an assessment of water and sediment quality at Fort Matanzas National Monument as a part of the Network’s Vital Signs Monitoring program in July 2012. Monitoring was conducted following methods and standards developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a part of the National Coastal Assessment Program and included parameter estimates of water clarity, chlorophyll a, total dissolved nitrogen, phosphorous, and dissolved oxygen. Overall water quality index rating for the park area is fair, with three sites rated as poor, 20 rated as fair and eight rated as good. Individual site ratings indicated better water quality conditions in the waters immediately surrounding the park than in areas to the north and south of the park. Poor site ratings near the southern boundary of the assessed area may indicate an area of emerging concern. Water clarity was rated as good at 45% of sites in the assessed area with 19% rated as poor. Chlorophyll a levels were rated as fair at 81% of sites in the assessed area with 19% rated as poor. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen and dissolved inorganic phosphorus levels were each rated as good at the five sites nearest the park. DIN levels were rated as fair at all sites whereas DIP levels rated as fair in 65% of the sites, mainly in areas to the north and south of the Fort Matanzas. Dissolved oxygen levels were rated good at 65% of the sites and fair at 35% of the sites. No sites were rated poor due to low dissolved oxygen levels.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explores the impact that a water supply and sewerage (W&amp;S) expansion had on child mortality in Quito, Ecuador. Studies have typically estimated the effects of this type of interventions comparing outcome indicators - at the aggregate level - of areas with the facilities and areas that lack them, quite often neglecting systematic differences between treated and nontreated areas. Moreover, at aggregate levels, on the one hand, less comprehensive information may imply greater unobserved and uncontrolled heterogeneity; on the other, heterogeneity within areas may jeopardize identification of impacts. To account for these key observations, the authors used a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis at the individual level. Using indirect methods based on census data they constructed a mortality index at the motherhood level, and calculated five different impact estimators based on the propensity scores.

Kirby, Stefan M., J. Lucy Jordan, Janae Wallace, Nathan Payne, and Christian Hardwick. Hydrogeology and Water Budget for Goshen Valley, Utah County, Utah. Utah Geological Survey, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.34191/ss-171.

Full text
Abstract:
Goshen Valley contains extensive areas of agriculture, significant wetlands, and several small municipalities, all of which rely on both groundwater and surface water. The objective of this study is to characterize the hydrogeology and groundwater conditions in Goshen Valley and calculate a water budget for the groundwater system. Based on the geologic and hydrologic data presented in this paper, we delineate three conceptual groundwater zones. Zones are delineated based on areas of shared hydrogeologic, geochemical, and potentiometric characteristics within the larger Goshen Valley. Groundwater in Goshen Valley resides primarily in the upper basin fill aquifer unit (UBFAU) and lower carbonate aquifer unit (LCAU) hydrostratigraphic units. Most wells in Goshen Valley are completed in the UBFAU, which covers much of the valley floor. The UBFAU is the upper part of the basin fill, which is generally less than 1500 feet thick in Goshen Valley. Important spring discharge at Goshen Warm Springs issues from the LCAU. Relatively impermeable volcanic rocks (VU) occur along much of the upland parts of the southern part of Goshen Valley. Large sections of the southwest part of the Goshen Valley basin boundary have limited potential for interbasin flow. Interbasin groundwater flow is likely at several locations including the Mosida Hills and northern parts of Long Ridge and Goshen Gap in areas underlain by LCAU. Depth to groundwater in Goshen Valley ranges from at or just below the land surface to greater than 400 feet. Groundwater is within 30 feet of the land surface near and north of Goshen, in areas of irrigated pastures and wetlands that extend east toward Long Ridge and Goshen Warm Springs, and to the north towards Genola. Groundwater movement is from upland parts of the study area toward the valley floor and Utah Lake. Long-term water-level change is evident across much of Goshen Valley, with the most significant decline present in conceptual zone 2 and the southern part of conceptual zone 1. The area of maximum groundwater-level decline—over 50 feet—is centered a few miles south of Elberta in conceptual zone 2. Groundwater in Goshen Valley spans a range of chemistries that include locally high total dissolved solids and elevated nitrate and arsenic concentrations and varies from calcium-bicarbonate to sodium-chloride-type waters. Overlap in chemistry exists in surface water samples from Currant Creek, the Highline Canal, and groundwater. Stable isotopes indicate that groundwater recharges from various locations that may include local recharge, from the East Tintic Mountains, or far-traveled groundwater recharged either in Cedar Valley or east of the study area along the Wasatch Range. Dissolved gas recharge temperatures support localized recharge outside of Goshen. Most groundwater samples in Goshen Valley are old, with limited evidence of recent groundwater recharge. An annual water budget based on components of recharge and discharge yields total recharge of 32,805 acre-ft/yr and total discharge of 35,750 acre-ft/yr. Most recharge is likely from interbasin flow and lesser amounts from precipitation and infiltration of surface water. Most discharge is from well water withdrawal with minor spring discharge and groundwater evapotranspiration. Water-budget components show discharge is greater than recharge by less than 3000 acreft/yr. This deficit or change in storage is manifested as longterm water-level decline in conceptual zone 2, and to a lesser degree, in conceptual zone 1. The primary driver of discharge in conceptual zone 2 is well withdrawal. Conceptual zone 3 is broadly in balance across the various sources of recharge and discharge, and up to 1830 acre-ft/yr of water may discharge from conceptual zone 3 into Utah Lake. Minimal groundwater likely flows to Utah Lake from zones 1 or 2.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of the evaluation is to measure the sustainability of the Bank's interventions in the supply of water and sanitation services financed by the Water Supply and Sanitation Program for Small Communities (PR-0118). The evaluation starts by considering that, in order to achieve the development goals associated with the expansion of water and sanitation services, the sustainability of these services-understood as the long-term maintenance of the quality of the service provided in the interventions-must be guaranteed at the technical, financial, and operational level. Once this quality can be sustained over time, it will be possible to improve the population¿s conditions, particularly in terms of health indicators. Accordingly, the evaluation seeks to identify the factors and good practices that can be correlated with higher levels of sustainability of the systems that were constructed. The scope of the evaluation includes 100 water and sanitation interventions in rural communities financed by the program in the eastern region of Paraguay.

Indian Institute for Human Settlements; Global Commission for the Economics of Water, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.24943/9788198256829.

Full text
Abstract:
Significant gaps and inequities in urban water and sanitation services persist, with a growing risk of exacerbation due to changes in the climate, global water cycle, and patterns of urbanisation. Urban water and sanitation systems need to transition to accelerate access to safe, equitable, and sustainable water and sanitation services, while enhancing resilience to respond to increasing risks. This paper reviews the persistent challenges in water and sanitation services, emerging risks from climate change, and imbalances in the global water cycle that threaten to impact urban water cycles, and potentially disrupt existing urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) systems. It identifies critical concerns in three areas: institutional arrangements (including informal service provisioning), technology and infrastructure, and financing (including operations and maintenance). The paper concludes by identifying critical elements required in these areas for successful transition of water and sanitation services and systems.

Full text
Abstract:
In the last decade, Belize has seen major improvements in access to water, but it is behind in achieving universal access to improved sanitation facilities. Belize has also made progress in terms of the disposal of solid waste in the central and western regions, including in the largest urban area, Belize City. Despite these developments, there is a need to further improve the performance of these sectors, especially in terms of wastewater collection and treatment in urban areas throughout the country and solid waste collection and final disposal in the northern (Corozal and Orange Walk districts) and southern (Stann Creek and Toledo districts) regions of the country. This Technical Note was prepared to support the policy dialogue between the Inter-American Development Bank and the Government of Belize. It provides an analysis of the current situation of the water and sanitation and solid waste sectors in Belize, and makes recommendations on immediate actions to assist in further improving coverage and the quality of the services provided.

Abstract:
The resilience of water supplies and the water environment to climate change and the impacts of drought are areas of concern for the UK. Definitions of resilience vary, but in this POSTbrief it is the ability of the water supply system to recover from shocks. Projected changes in weather patterns and climate (increased temperatures and greater variability in rainfall) will reduce water availability. Increased water demand due to population growth means that, without action, water shortages could occur in future. These will impact the environment, society and the economy.
