An investigation of the operating characteristics and efficiency of a small sewage treatment plant
… this investigation included: the effects storm water diversion into the sanitary sewage system; and the appraisal and correction of operating problems encountered in this initial period of plant operation.

Assessing effects of an overwinter dewatering on the egg-to-fry survival of brown trout in a Montana stream
… agriculture, mining, and other industries remove water from streams, which can negatively affect fish populations. Wintertime diversions of water affect autumn-spawning salmonids such as brown trout and bull trout; they occur at the critical egg-to-fry development phase, possibly reducing oxygen …

China's food production under water and land limitations
The future availability of the natural resources (water and land) needed for food production is highly uncertain. Evidence shows diminishing natural resources and growing food demand throughout many parts of the world. China is one of the countries that face the challenge of managing its finite …

Natural Hazards Monitoring Using Multiple Remote Sensing Techniques and Machine Learning Algorithms
… land subsidence induced by excessive groundwater withdrawal for approximately half a century. However, since the launch of the South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) project, the groundwater withdrawal has significantly been released, thus greatly easing the land subsidence worries here since …

Influence of geology on the water resources of the Upper Roanoke River Basin, Virginia
… Geohydrologic analyses of climate, surface-water, ground-water, and water-quality data identified the geohydrologic characteristics of each unit. Precipitation on 15 subbasins during the study year (April 1969 to March 1970) ranged from 30.77 to 39.68 inches; potential evapotranspiration …

Advanced Fog Harvesting Techniques
Water scarcity is one of the most urgent global challenges, affecting a substantial portion of the world's population and expected to worsen with the advancing impacts of climate change. Although the Earth is predominantly covered by water, only a small fraction is freshwater, and an even smaller …

Strategies for limited and deficit irrigation to maximize on-farm profit potential in Colorado's South Platte Basin
Municipalities and other water providers are expected to seek increasing amounts of agricultural water to meet the demand to be created by projected future growth along the Front Range of Colorado and within the South Platte Basin. Farms often are acquired outright, the water rights parted off, and …

Experimental Study of Tsunami-Induced Loads on Bridges
… the bore depth and velocity. A multi-axis waterproof load cell was used to measure the applied forces and moments, and pressure sensors were used to measure the horizontal pressures applied on the bridge deck. For the impact of a tsunami bore on a box section bridge deck, a simplified box …

Benthic Community Structure Response to Flow Dynamics in Tropical Island and Temperate Continental Streams
… activities and the increased demand for freshwater have caused the modification of natural flow regimes worldwide. Hydrological alterations, such as dams, diversions, and channelizations, are associated with ecological change and known to have detrimental effects on benthic communities. As a …
