Geosynthetics enhance soil strength, distribute loads, and support drainage and containment systems.Water Management SystemsGeosynthetics support canal lining, reservoir waterproofing, stormwater channels, and irrigation networks, reducing seepage losses in lined canals (noted up to significant water savings in canal lining studies).FAO reports canal lining can ...
Underground infrastructure—such as sewer networks, stormwater lines, and service chambers—requires regular maintenance to prevent costly failures. ...
A municipality operating multiple elevated and remote water storage tanks faced inefficiencies in monitoring water levels. Tank level was monitored by physically traveling to each site, climbing tanks to visually inspect levels, and manually logging data. This process was time and labor intensive, posed safety hazards, and resulted in substantial costs. The municipality needed a more efficient, ...
When it comes to sealing, testing, and bypassing flow in pipelines, contractors across the Gulf region turn to PlugCo, a globally trusted manufacturer and supplier of inflatable pipe plugs, test plugs, and pipeline testing equipment. With a proven track record across the Middle East, PlugCo has established itself as a top-tier supplier for infrastructure, water, and sewer projects in the UAE, ...
Flood Control and Drainage Systems: Constructing levees, floodwalls, and stormwater drainage networks to mitigate flooding risks and manage excess water during heavy rainfall. ...
During wet weather periods, stormwater inflow and infiltration to the sewer network can cause major issues for network operators, leading to surcharge and spills which come with both health and environmental impacts. ...
It is well known that training machine learning models under supervised conditions requires significant data that is labelled in a systematic way. Once operational, these models can provide significant value to water utilities and communities. Though, what may not be so clear is the immediate benefits of labelling your water data. This post endeavours to shed some light on this topic. But first, ...
Abstract Accurate prediction of flood extents in urban catchments is extremely difficult without having a 1d/2d integrated modeling approach. The integrated flood modeling is becoming popular and a new benchmark for urban flood risk management studies. City of Glen Eira in Victoria, Australia is a developed metropolitan municipality. The council is responsible for the management of 535km of ...

Porirua City located 20 km north of Wellington has over 70 storm water outlets into the harbour. A number of these outlets are very flat on their approach to the harbour which generally means they are severely influenced by high tides. The problem with these outlets is that if a rain fall event coincides with a high tide, the ability of the storm water network to discharge is severely ...
Improper connections of sewage canals to the stormwater network seemed to be the cause of pollution. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) exerted the largest influence on micropollutants for the receiving river. ...
In low-income countries, rapid urbanization adds pressure to already stressed water and sanitation systems that are critical to the health of communities. Drainage networks, designed for stormwater but commonly used for disposing of waste, are rarely covered completely, allowing residents to easily come into contact with their contents. ...
In developing countries, policy-makers at all levels are confronted with the problem of prioritizing different projects which needs to be done in a systematic method for the optimal allocation of funds. The current study is focused in addressing the above-mentioned problem for urban storm water drainage networks, and it aims to address two key questions: ‘Which drainage projects should be ...
Ageing drinking water, stormwater and sewer pipe networks imply an increased degree of rehabilitation. ...
Introduction: Flooding on urban basins is intensifying due to rapid urbanization. Flooding primarily occurs because of drainage congestion of inland flow and/or over bank flow of rivers during severe rainfall events. Rapid urbanization is causing a major change in rainfall-runoff phenomenon and the drainage system as well. The overland flow pattern is becoming complex due to huge structural ...

Roadside gully pots are the connecting points between surface runoff and the underground drainage network; therefore they can be considered as the most superficial component of urban drainage systems. Gully pots are supposed to trap particulate matter washed off the catchment surface, but also to collect and convey stormwater into the network. ...
A large 1.6 metre valve that stops tidal waters getting into the stormwater network will help stop flooding in the city centre during heavy rainfalls. ...
Infiltration basins are shallow reservoirs in which stormwater is temporarily collected in order to reduce water volume in downstream networks. The settling of stormwater particles leads to a contaminated sediment layer. Wild plants can colonize these basins and can also play a role on the fate of heavy metals either directly by their uptake or ...
The contribution of discharge from carwashes to pollutant levels in stormwater was evaluated. Five carwashes and two outlets in the city of Toulouse (France) were selected. ...
This paper presents the results of the characterisation of settled particles in an open stormwater detention basin with grassed banks and bottom, installed on a separate stormwater network. Solids sampled in the bottom of the basin where the settling process is frequent and solids collected in sediment traps have a fine grain-size distribution ...
