E.S.P., the utility supplying drinking water to approximately 15 municipalities in the Barranquilla region, has installed two MPC-Buoys at the Dársena Río Magdalena, a river intake on the Magdalena River, to address algae at the source before treatment.Context: Algae risk at river intakesThe Magdalena River is Colombia's primary ...
Floods are one of the most devastating natural disasters in India, causing not just environmental degradation but also massive economic loss. According to the Central Water Commission, India loses nearly ?6,000 crore every year due to floods and river erosion (CWC Annual Report 2022). West Bengal, owing to its extensive riverine network and monsoonal rainfall, is one of the most flood-prone ...
This step ensures that any remaining viruses and bacteria are eliminated, providing safe drinking water for consumption.2. Control of BiofoulingBiofouling is a common issue in seawater systems, where microorganisms accumulate and stick to surfaces and form biofilms. This causes degradation to water inlets, pipework, grates, ponds, and rivers. Chlorination helps ...
Usage Scenarios: Polypropylene filament geotextiles are commonly used in light applications such as road foundation reinforcement, soil erosion control, river embankment protection, and can also be used in some agricultural projects. ...
ABM’s Advanced Level Sensors and Remote Support Solve Multiple Reflection Challenges Background An environmental company required a level sensor to remotely monitor and control water levels in a river for a flood monitoring application. For this project, ABM's remote non-contact ultrasonic level sensor was selected as the ideal solution. ...
It can cut and collect roote das well as floating plants easily. As an alternative weed control method, chemical pesticides are occasionally being used in rivers and lakes. As a biological control method, specialized fish or insect species are sometimes released to contain plant spread by feeding on them. However, these methods are only effective ...
Hydropower crisis and climate change prompt new water projects This year’s record heat wave in China has dried up large swaths of the Yangtze River basin, and the drought has caused a continuing hydropower crisis in the southwest. The drought is affecting groundwater and agriculture. It is estimated that 80% of China’s groundwater is contaminated with toxins, including heavy metals ...
On Tuesday, June 1, 1948, the Columbia River crested at 30.2 feet and began receding. The river receded so slowly that Vanport was not uncovered for weeks. ...
Using 15N stable isotope as a tracer to quantify N transformation rates in isotope-enrichment experiments improves understanding of the N cycle in various ecosystems. However, measuring 15N-nitrate (15NO3–) in small volumes of water for these experiments is a major challenge due to the inconvenience of preparing samples by traditional techniques. Lin et al. (2021) developed a ...

Project content: Fuyang District “Five Waters Governance” information integrated management platform consists of three systems: Hechang Management, Wushui Monitoring, and Fuyang Water Control APP. It will treat industrial wastewater, agricultural non-point source pollution, rural domestic sewage and urban sewage. Pump station, river water quality, ...
The urban agglomeration polders type of flood control pattern is a general flood control pattern in the eastern plain area and some of the secondary river basins in China. A HEC-HMS model of Qinhuai River basin based on the flood control pattern was established for simulating basin runoff, examining the ...
CUSTOMER: SICE USER: Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (Spain) LOCATION: Ebro river basin ENVIRONMENT: Countryside YEAR: 2017 The system integrator SICE engineering, which installs and maintains the Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH) of the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation with more than 900 RTU (Remote Terminal Units) and a remote control ...
CUSTOMER: SICE USER: Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (Spain) LOCATION: Sabiñánigo, Huesca ENVIRONMENT: Mountain area YEAR: 2017 The Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (Spain) needed to detect contamination episodes in a river due to the dumping of lindane in a mountain ...
Small reservoirs are important to flood control and water resource utilization in local areas. This study proposes a WebGIS-based flood control management system to support the flood discharge of small reservoirs during intensive rainfall in the flood season. ...
(read & download the article here) The article seems to say that: Phosphorus is the the only nutrient that matters to control cyanobacteria harmful algae bloom (HABs). Any further discussion of nitrogen as a nutrient in this industry is a waste of time. ...
Water quality monitoring data from the outlets of two paired catchments (the river Odense catchment versus a neighbouring control catchment) on the island of Funen, Denmark, showed significantly different trends in annual flow-weighted P concentrations during the period 2000–2013. A significant downward trend in flow-weighted particulate P (PP) concentrations ...
Water evaporates from water bodies (such as oceans, lakes, and rivers), forms clouds, and returns to earth as precipitation (rain or snow). ...
Even in Pennsylvania, and throughout the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations, where water availability is more accessible, with the increase in numbers of well sites water sourcing is becoming more tightly controlled. According to the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC), hydraulic fracturing a horizontal Marcellus well may use 4 to 8 million gallons of ...
This has been achieved by general measures reducing discharges from all point sources and N leaching from farmed land supplemented with more local and targeted mitigation measures such as restoration of wetlands to increase the catchment-specific N retention. In the catchment of River Odense, restoration of wetlands has been extensive. Thus, in the major gauged catchment (485 ...
