Book Description
This Report presents information on the current state of knowledge of the origins, occurrence, nature and effects of sewer solids for use by engineers, scientists, administrators and water quality planners for the planning, design and operation of sewerage systems. The report addresses both sewer maintenance requirements and environmental protection issues. Increasing environmental standards, coupled with public expectations, have led to stringent water quality standards. In response to this, it has been necessary to develop new methodologies and computer based analytical techniques to model and understand the performance of all aspects of waste water systems. Fundamental to these techniques is the understanding of the way in which sewer solids contribute to the poor performance of wastewater systems and consequential environmental damage. The information presented in this Report about the origins, nature, movement, hydraulic and polluting effects of solids in sewers has enabled strategies and rules to be developed for the management of sewerage systems to minimise the deleterious effects of these solids and associated pollutants.

The Palgrave Handbook of Global Sustainability
Author: Robert Brinkmann
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031019490
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 2585
Book Description
The field of sustainability continues to evolve as a discipline. The world is facing multiple sustainability challenges such as climate change, water depletion, ecosystem loss, and environmental racism. The Handbook of Sustainability will provide a comprehensive reference for the field that examines in depth the major themes within what are known as the three E’s of sustainability: environment, equity, and economics. These three themes will serve as the main organizing body of the work. In addition, the work will include sections on history and sustainability, major figures in the development of sustainability as a discipline, and important organizations that contributed or that continue to contribute to sustainability as a field. The work is explicitly global in scope as it considers the very different issues associated with sustainability in the global north and south

Diagnostic, aménagement et gestion des rivières (2e éd.)
Author: DEGOUTTE Gérard
Publisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2743064692
Category : Flood control
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
Ce manuel pratique aide à comprendre les grands principes régissant la morphologie des cours d’eau et leur dynamique pour mieux concevoir des aménagements qui sauront résister aux crues sans déséquilibrer pour autant les écosystèmes. Le chapitre 1 donne les définitions, principes de base et résultats d’hydraulique à surface libre. Les chapitres 2 à 4 approfondissent le diagnostic des rivières en tenant compte du transport solide et de la constante interaction entre l’écoulement, le fond, les berges et le champ d’inondation. Les chapitres 5 à 9 exposent les différents aménagements et entretiens pour utiliser l’eau ou se protéger des crues. Cette 2e édition, entièrement réactualisée et augmentée de nombreux schémas et photos, aborde de nouveaux points : les calculs hydrauliques des déversoirs latéraux, des estimations de débit solide adaptées aux fortes pentes, la morphologie des torrents et les conséquences morphologiques des barrages, la restauration morphologique des rivières, les processus d’érosion par surverse, la conception des zones d’expansion de crues, des procédés de protection de berge ou de traitement des digues, la nouvelle norme sur les enrochements, etc... Diagnostic, aménagement et gestion des rivières s’adresse aux professionnels en charge de la gestion et de l’aménagement des cours d’eau ou de la police de l’eau : cabinets d’ingénierie, collectivités territoriales, établissements publics, sociétés d’aménagement régional et services déconcentrés et centraux de l’État. Il sera une aide précieuse pour les étudiants en écoles d’ingénieur ou en université et intéressera les chercheurs en mécanique des fluides, géomorphologie ou écologie fluviale.

Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety of Technical Processes 2006
Author: Hong-Yue Zhang
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 9780080555393
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1576
Book Description
The safe and reliable operation of technical systems is of great significance for the protection of human life and health, the environment, and of the vested economic value. The correct functioning of those systems has a profound impact also on production cost and product quality. The early detection of faults is critical in avoiding performance degradation and damage to the machinery or human life. Accurate diagnosis then helps to make the right decisions on emergency actions and repairs. Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) has developed into a major area of research, at the intersection of systems and control engineering, artificial intelligence, applied mathematics and statistics, and such application fields as chemical, electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering. IFAC has recognized the significance of FDD by launching a triennial symposium series dedicated to the subject. The SAFEPROCESS Symposium is organized every three years since the first symposium held in Baden-Baden in 1991. SAFEPROCESS 2006, the 6th IFAC Symposium on Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety of Technical Processes was held in Beijing, PR China. The program included three plenary papers, two semi-plenary papers, two industrial talks by internationally recognized experts and 258 regular papers, which have been selected out of a total of 387 regular and invited papers submitted. * Discusses the developments and future challenges in all aspects of fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control * 8 invited and 36 contributed sessions included with a special session on the demonstration of process monitoring and diagnostic software tools

DayWater
Author: Daniel R. Thevenot
Publisher: IWA Publishing
ISBN: 1843391600
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
The European DayWater project has developed a prototype of an Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) related to urban stormwater pollution source control. The DayWater ADSS greatly facilitates decision-making for stormwater source control, which is currently impeded by the large number of stakeholders involved and by the necessary multidisciplinary knowledge. This book presents the results of this project, providing new insights into both technical and management issues. The main objectives of its technical chapters are pollution source control modelling, risk and impact assessment, and evaluation and comparison of best management practices. It also covers management aspects, such as the analysis of the decision-making processes in stormwater source control, at a European scale, and stormwater management strategies in general. The combination of scientific-technical and socio-managerial knowledge, with the strong cooperation of numerous end-users, reflects the innovative character of this book which includes actual applications of the ADSS prototype in significant case studies. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management contains 26 chapters collectively prepared by DayWater scientific partners and end-users associated with this European Research and Development project. It includes: A general presentation of the DayWater Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) structure and operation modes A detailed description of the major components of this ADSS prototype The assessment of its components in significant case studies in France, Germany and Sweden The proceedings of the International Conference on Decision Support Systems for Integrated Urban Water Management, held in Paris on 3-4 November 2005. The book presents the ADSS prototype including a combination of freely accessible on-line databases, guidance documents, “road maps” and modelling or multi-criteria analysis tools. As demonstrated in several significant case studies the challenge for stormwater managers is to make the benefits of urban stormwater management visible to society, resulting in active co-operation of a diversity of stakeholders. Only then, will sustainable management succeed. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management advances this cause of sustainable urban management through Urban stormwater management, and makes achievable (by means of risk and vulnerability tools which are included) the goal of integrated urban water management (IUWM).
