No full textIoT for Supervision and Control of Water Systems
Water transport and distribution systems must be carefully monitored and operated to avoid water losses, to save energy and to protect the assets of the water utilities against damage. In major water transport and distribution systems this task is performed by centralized SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems which receive information from remote sensors and remotely control components like valves and pumps

No full textMind the Water Cycle Gap: Innovating Water Management Optimisation PracticeOptimisation is what you do if you run out of on innovative ideas. Current practice in integrated water management predominantly use multi-objective optimisation approaches with aggregated objectives. This biases results towards the status quo and against innovative solutions, can foster stakeholder resistance when they do not recognize their values and objectives in the optimization formulation, while also raising ethical concerns related to the inclusion of undesirable and/or hidden trade-offs1. In contrast, many-objectives optimisation approaches can consider many non-aggregated objectives, which has the potential to enrich the solution space with alternative courses of action that better reflect the diverging perspectives of stakeholders, and align better with ethical concerns.

reformwater
No full textThe largest lakes in Nordic countries, which are among the most important raw water supplies for the major cities, are showing brownification i.e. increase in dissolved organic matter and humic substances
urbanwat
No full textThe aims of the research presented in this pre-proposal is to propose an improvement of tools and criteria for groundwater management in urban areas to ensure the sustainability of urban water resources and define their potential uses, from an integral approach. In this way, it is committed to the circular economy of water, trying to make the hydrological cycle circular, efficient and sustainable, thereby improving quantitative and qualitative aspects

No full textProject proposes innovative, transdisciplinary approach, by enabling an access to the potential water resources, currently neglected, i.e. water evaporated during drying of high moisture solid fermentation products

No full textT seeks to implement grey-water treatment constructed wetlands within a modern, urban, mega-city slum context. Grey water in such a context is very different to that emanating from a developed urban environment. The project is located Alexandra, a township which includes formal, semi-formal and informal settlements, immediately adjacent to Sandton, the economic centre of Africa. The project draws on social science, psychology, biology, chemistry and engineering skills to understand the specific context with a view to designing, building, implementing and monitoring a grey-water treatment system which will exceed the lifespan of the funding. There is a strong focus on understanding and hopefully overcoming the human drivers leading to failure of treatment systems in similar contexts in other parts of the world.[More](http://www.waterjpi.eu/joint-calls/joint-call-2017-ic4water/booklet/urbwat-1
model based global assessment of hydrological pressure
No full textThe overarching objective of GlobalHydroPressure is to provide global model-based support for assessing and quantifying the fundamental hydrological pressure in basins worldwide. A consistent and reliable estimation of this pressure is a prerequisite for assessment of vulnerability and resilience to the total, multiple environmental pressure, including both natural and human-driven components.

bloowater
No full textSupporting tools for the integrated management of drinking water reservoirs contaminated by Cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. Cyanobacteria, known as blue-green algae, under favourable environmental conditions, can quickly multiply and form blooms in water and release toxic secondary metabolites during their senescence and death. The presence of toxins from Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in drinking water reservoirs may represent serious health risks for the human population. It is necessary to plan effective strategies of risk assessment and management considering all the possible routes of exposure for the human populations.
