Abstract:

Before this research study began, relatively little was understood of the water supply in Constantinople, particularly within the walls of the city. Archaeological work had focused on collecting details of 160 cisterns and a small number of channels and pipes were incidental finds in other excavations. Although no-one had considered the water supply in Constantinople as a whole, the evidence seemed to indicate a sophisticated water management system. With the available data fragmented, and the potential for more evidence limited to serendipitous finds associated with construction work, the onl

Abstract:

With the end of Western Roman rule and the emergence of new polities in the medieval world, it has been assumed that the technology of mortar reverted to a weak and friable building material. However, this period brought about the implementation of large-scale construction projects that still remain as a testament to their high quality construction techniques and materials. In order to meet the needs of its growing populace, the infrastructure of the new capital city of Constantinople was bolstered by these projects, many rivaling the scale and intricacy of Imperial Rome.

Abstract:

Worldwide, around 884 million people lack access to safe drinking water. To address this, groundwater sources such as boreholes and wells are often installed in remote locations especially in developing countries. However, the natural chemical composition of groundwater may be a source of toxicity to human health. Uranium is naturally present in the environment, and concentrations above the World Health Organisation (WHO) drinking water guideline (15 μg/L) are found in various parts of the world. Uranium has a complex aqueous chemistry and its speciation, which varies according to pH and avail

Abstract:

The Water Supply of Byzantine Constantinople is one of the most outstanding achievements of hydraulic engineering from the Roman world. Working entirely as a gravity-fed system, this infrastructure relied on hundreds of kilometres of masonry channels, winding along the hills of Turkish Thrace and carrying water to Constantinople across different watersheds. The Water Supply was built in two main phases: the first in the mid-fourth century, following the foundation of Constantinople in 330 AD; and the second in the early fifth century. It is not clear whether the aqueducts from these two phases

This thesis on water and social activism in Canada is a journey into the realm of shared social understanding. Water is too precious to all forms of life to simply permit commodification for the benefit of a few at the expense of the many. The Sun Belt case adjudicated under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) when compared with what prevailed under previous Canadian national law reveals severe limits to state sovereignty. A high measure of support has already been manifest around concerns and considerations which pertain to water and the potential for the growth of social activ

Abstract:

Australia's population is growing rapidly, and is projected to grow by 65 percent to reach over 35 million people by the middle of the century. This population growth could exacerbate stresses on Australia's already stretched water resources and environmental assets, particularly if climate change projections prove correct. At the same time, there is a possibility that water shortages and declining water quality could lead to population decline in some parts of the country. Both of these scenarios will present water managers with significant challenges. With this in mind, this thesis addresses

Phenotypic plasticity is often postulated to play a role in plant invasions. This thesis explores the role of plasticity in plant invasions with particular emphasis on responses to water availability. The thesis employed two main approaches; the first was a meta-analysis of published literature. The second approach was the use of greenhouse experiments on populations of a congeneric native (Erodium crinitum) - invasive (E. cictuarium ) species pair using seed collected along a natural rainfall gradient. The meta-analysis found that phenotypic plasticity is generally greater in invasive compare

Abstract:

Integrated water management helps adaption to variable rainfall by using more groundwater during dry years and more surface water during wet years. Integrated water management techniques including water banking, and aquifer storage and recovery are extensively practiced in other dry regions such as the western USA and Spain. Yet these techniques are not used in the Murray-Darling Basin.

Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on water resources through extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, storms, and the inundation of coastal regions.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia Civil<br>A instalação de redes prediais de abastecimento de água e drenagem de águas residuais (e pluviais) desempenha um papel fundamental na qualidade de vida do Homem, contribuindo para a satisfação das atividades quotidianas e das suas necessidades básicas. Visando o aumento dos níveis de conforto e minoração de custos, as instalações prediais de abastecimento de água e de drenagem de águas residuais têm sofrido, ao longo dos últimos anos, aperfeiçoamentos ao nível da conceção e dimensionamento, sendo da responsabilidade de entidades reg

Abstract:

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia Civil<br>A Teoria da Vulnerabilidade de Redes de Abastecimento de Água (TVRAA) é um conceito emergente e em desenvolvimento, tendo como objetivo identificar as zonas mais vulneráveis das redes de abastecimento de água (RAA) através da definição de cenários de dano. Esta baseia-se num algoritmo que permite classificar trechos da rede em função da sua posição e das suas características físicas e comportamentais e, desta forma, determinar os cenários mais críticos. Porém, a aplicação manual da TVRAA a RAA é praticamente inviável, desta forma,

Abstract:

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia Civil<br>A modelação de custos associados ao sistema de abastecimento de água evidencia-se como sendo uma ferramenta fundamental para obter uma maior racionalização nas decisões a tomar sobre o tema. A presente dissertação, destinou-se a quantificar e modelar os custos associados aos sistemas de abastecimento de água, assim como a desenvolver um procedimento que solucione o problema existente da constante desactualização das funções custo. Para atingir o primeiro objetivo recorreu-se a duas metodologias. Na primeira procedeu-se à modelação
