In sediment basins on construction or disturbed land, high-velocity inflows often rush straight to the outlet, leaving much of the basin “unused” and reducing capture of fine sediment (Rivers & McLaughlin 2015). Floating or suspended baffles can (Rivers & McLaughlin 2015; Chatoyer Environmental 2025): Lengthen the flow path ...
The growth of maritime traffic in Portuguese-speaking African countries has made dredging a strategic element for the competitiveness of commercial ports, industrial terminals, and large rivers. Keeping the seabed at the correct depth means guaranteeing access to deeper draft vessels, reducing logistics costs along inland corridors, and creating new opportunities for businesses involved in the ...

Without these systems, sewage would flow into rivers or seep into groundwater, contaminating the water we use for drinking and washing. ...
If not properly treated, this wastewater will flow into rivers and lakes, polluting water bodies and harming aquatic life and drinking water sources. ...
Ultrasonic flowmeters are based on the relationship between the propagation velocity of ultrasound and the flow velocity of the medium. They measure flow rate by measuring flow velocity. ...
The Loe Bar in Cornwall is a shingle and flint bank that separates the sea from Loe Pool, presenting an unusual set of challenges in both flood risk management and environmental protection. In the following article, Rob Rhyder from NIVUS will explain how a bespoke monitoring solution was developed for the Environment Agency (EA) to meet the specific requirements of this unique location. ...

Flood risk assessments are critical tools used to evaluate the potential risks associated with flooding in a specific area. These assessments are essential for effective flood management, urban planning, and disaster preparedness. Here’s a detailed look at what flood risk assessments entail and why they are ...
Magmeters, or electromagnetic flow meters, are widely used across various industries due to their ability to measure the flow of conductive liquids accurately and reliably. ...
Magnetic Inductive Flow Meters, also known as electromagnetic flow meters or mag meters, have a wide range of applications due to their versatility, accuracy, and durability. ...
After decades of slow adoption of new technologies (US Water Alliance: Accelerate technology adoption to build efficiency and improve water service), the water sector is embracing AI as part of its digital transformation. AI has found its way into many potentially transformative applications, from water utilities to industrial applications, watershed monitoring, and forecasting. One area that ...
Geotube filled with sand has been widely used in Ports and Harbors, Dams & Levees, Coastal Protection, Solid Waste Landfill, Sludge Pond Remediation and other dyke buildings. Geotube is made of woven and filled with mud and sand. After dewatering, geotube superposes to form the dyke core and covered by protective layer. Geotube has good corrosion resistance and weather resistance, and can be ...
An estuary is a single-arm funnel-shaped river mouth extending towards the sea (Figure 2 [4]). This is where fresh and saltwater mix, and therefore, ecosystems mix. ...
The building may sag or tilt if the area is swampy or groundwater is too close. If a river or lake flows near the construction site, this can lead to flooding during severe weather. ...
E-Tech has focused on the exploration and now the rapidly expanding development of the large-scale Mirador Ecuacorriente open pit copper mine, which is located in the highly biodiverse Cordillera del Condor region of the upper Amazon river basin. This is a mine that has been expanding from a proposed 30,000 metric tons per day (30 ktpd) of production in 2010 to 60 ktpd, and now ...
