Calculation depends on the majority of the abilities within the domain of general intelligence (Blair et al., 2005). Most major theories of intelligence include numeracy or quantitative thinking as one aspect of general cognitive skills (Kaufman et al., 20 ...
In recent years, several methods have been developed which propose different freshwater use inventory schemes and impact assessment characterization models considering various cause-effect chain relationships. This work reviewed a multitude of methods and ...
Water and food are basics of human life, unfortunately climate changes and water pollution have reduced the amount of water available for human uses. In this context the study of the hydrologic cycle is becoming of growing importance in order to optimize t ...
This thesis analyses three distinct aspects of the economics of water distribution in Switzerland. Climate change and mounting pressure regarding the performance of network industries command an understanding of the drivers of cost and efficiency of water ...
Water becomes ordered in the form of hexagonal ice at room temperature under controlled humidity conditions upon confinement in the nanometer range between protective graphene sheets and crystalline (111) surfaces with hexagonal symmetry of the alkali eart ...
A numerical study, based on a density-dependent variably saturated groundwater flow model, was conducted to investigate flow and salt transport in a near-shore aquifer under intensified wave conditions caused by offshore storms. Temporally varying onshore ...
Dams are prone to causing negative effects on downstream ecosystems by their potential to alter riverine water quality. In the case of Itezhi-Tezhi Reservoir (Zambia), a nutrient-poor wetland located downstream is affected by low oxygen concentrations owin ...
Population growth is in general constrained by food production, which in turn depends on the access to water resources. At a country level, some populations use more water than they control because of their ability to import food and the virtual water requ ...
Wetlands are important ecosystems: they are habitats for many key species and act as natural regulators of the environment. They filter water and remove pollutants with the help of plants. Constructed wetlands are artificial wetlands built to treat mainly ...
Accurate estimates of water losses by evaporation from shallow water tables are important for hydrological, agricultural, and climatic purposes. An experiment was conducted in a weighing lysimeter to characterize the diurnal dynamics of evaporation under n ...
