Ceramic filter manufacturing in Northern Ghana : water storage and quality control
In 2009, Pure Home Water (PHW), a Ghana based non-profit organization working to provide affordable and safe drinking water to people in the Northern Region of Ghana, began the construction of a ceramic pot filter (CPF) factory near the city of Tamale. By 2011, the factory had the molds, supplies, …

Modeling the flash gate board for water storage and flood control
… be designed low enough to prevent the reservoir water level from exceeding a flood plain during flooding conditions. Because of this constraint, much of the available water storage area is wasted and the available pressure head for power generation will be less than maximum during normal …

Variations in Water Storage Capacity of a Mountain Peatland with Complex Stratigraphy
… as fens. Understanding how fens influence water storage and water release is essential for better predicting water availability as the climate changes. Peatlands located in mountain regions tend to have a complex soil profile due to the geomorphologically dynamic environment. There is …

Utilizing Permanent On-Board Water Storage for Efficient Deep Space Radiation Shielding
… to create an emergency bunker using food and water in the event of a forewarned radiation storm. This can provide substantial support to defend against radiation storms when there is an adequate amount of warning time, however, fails to protect against Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) or Solar …

Terrestrial Water Storage Change Over Dryland Regions Using Observational Data and Model Simulations
… cycle. However, drylands typically experience water shortages due to unbalanced atmospheric water demand and supply, being exacerbated by climate change and human water withdrawal. Water resources are critically important for both human societies and ecosystems to function. Therefore, …

Farm-Scale Water Storage in Morocco: Low-Carbon Design with Parametric FEA Optimization
Morocco faces increasing water scarcity with an anticipated decline in rainfall. Rising temperatures have resulted in drier and denser soil, causing water to be trapped on the surface and evaporate. One solution is to shift water management from large-scale to farm-scale. Underground water …

Safe water storage in Kenya's modified clay pot : standardization, tap design, and cost recovery
… components necessary for providing safe drinking water for users who lack piped water in the home is the ability to safely store it in the home. Users in the Nyanza Province of Kenya frequently carry water from some distance or purchase vended water and traditionally store this water in their …

Evaluating biomass water storage and sap flux in three semi-arid tree species in central Texas
… decision-making concerning climate change, water use, and land use with respect to juniper tree clearing. We used sap flux observations as a proxy for transpiration and capacitance-style FDR sensors installed directly into trees as a means to assess wood water storage. We also recorded …

The effect of inlet conditions and tank geometry on the thermal performance of stratified chilled water storage
… on consumption during peak hours. Chilled water storage has emerged as one of the simplest and most effective methods for shifting on-peak cooling loads to off-peak hours. With estimates of the electricity consumed by space cooling at nearly 50% of the summer peak, chilled water storage …
