Flow measurements in sewer systems based on image analysis: automatic flow velocity algorithm

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Daniel Sage, Laurent Son Nguyen, Salim Kayal, David Jeanbourquin

Discharges of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and stormwater are recognized as an important source of environmental contamination. However, the harsh sewer environment and particular hydraulic conditions during rain events reduce the reliability of traditi ...

Simultaneous E-coli inactivation and NOM degradation in river water via photo-Fenton process at natural pH in solar CPC reactor. A new way for enhancing solar disinfection of natural water

César Pulgarin

Bacteria inactivation and natural organic matter oxidation in river water was simultaneously conducted via photo-Fenton reaction at "natural" pH (similar to 6.5) containing 0.6 mg L-1 of Fe3+ and 10 mg L-1 of H2O2. The experiments were carried out by using ...

COMMON-Sense Net: Improved Water Management for Resource-Poor Farmers via Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jacques Panchard

We describe the on-going design and implementation of a sensor network for agricultural management targeted at resource-poor farmers in India. Our focus on semi-arid regions led us to concentrate on water-related issues. Throughout 2004, we carried outa su ...

Statistical performances of various deterministic and stochastic models for rainfall series disaggregation

This paper compares the performance of seven disaggregation models, based on various approaches and/or concepts, for the generation of 10mn time step rainfall series from hourly rainfall series. The so-called constant disaggregation model and a linear mode ...

Stochastic generation and disaggregation of hourly rainfall series for continuous hydrological modelling and flood control reservoir design

André Musy, Anne-Catherine Favre

In the urban environment, stormwater detention basins are a powerful means to limit the frequency of sewer system failures and consecutive urban flooding. To design such waterworks or to check their efficiency, it is possible to carry out continuous rainfa ...

Two-site modeling of rainfall based on the Neyman-Scott process

André Musy, Stephan Morgenthaler, Anne-Catherine Favre

On the basis of the Neyman-Scott process a model is proposed to generate rainfall at two sites simultaneously. This model takes into account the correlation, which is produced by generating bivariate correlated variates. The cross correlation between the s ...
