Biofilm is increasingly recognized as one of the most persistent and costly operational challenges across industrial water systems, wastewater infrastructure, agriculture, cooling towers, and food processing environments.Unlike loose contamination, biofilm forms structured microbial communities that attach directly to surfaces within pipelines, tanks, drains, ...
Abstract Agricultural irrigation systems represent complex physicochemical environments capable of supporting persistent microbial populations. These microbial communities establish on wetted infrastructure surfaces and contribute to long-term system instability, including emitter flow restriction, biofilm formation, and ...
The irrigation process in agriculture, landscaping, and water management is crucial in its work with climate change-altered efficiency and sustainability. When the global temperature increases, so does the irregular supply of water, which directly affects irrigation systems across different parts of the globe. We pick from here and discuss further how climate change impacts irrigation and the ...
Placing water beneath the soil surface via buried lines is slowly becoming the "preferred choice" of many vineyard irrigators. ...
Treated wastewater usually contains high levels of nutrients that can cause algae blooms on the water surface of storage ponds and clog irrigation systems (filters, emitters, distribution pipes). ...
ABSTRACT: The following paper is a comparison of an organic media biofilter and a synthetic media biofilter for the treatment of residual odors emanating from the operation of a biosolids dewatering and truck loading system at the City of Toronto's Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant. The system compared was an in-ground, header/lateral system ...
Recycled water (RW) is one of the most available water resources with great potential for use in farm irrigation. This experiment was carried out to investigate the use of RW as the irrigation source and its application method, subsurface leaky irrigation (SLI) system or surface irrigation, in an ...
PlantCare has installed a soil moisture monitoring system as part of the redesign of the entire playing field at St. Jakob-Park stadium in Basel. ...
This paper explores the effects of streamflow uncertainty and the type of stochastic order, which is used for comparing stochastic variables, on optimal design of a reservoir multi-crop irrigation district system. Four nonlinear mathematical programs with an economic objective function including deterministic, stochastic-EXP with expected value order, stochastic-SD with stochastic dominance ...
The systems selected and currently utilized to meet the goals of the program include both surface and subsurface irrigation preceded by aerobic pretreatment and disinfection of the wastewater. ...
Effluents from the dairy industry are either discharged to surface waters or used in land irrigation systems. In particular, the effluents from a large dairy factory discharged to a small stream have the potential to pose an environmental risk. Long-term irrigation of dairy effluents can induce changes in the quality of soils, or ...
