About 50% of all hydropower plants (HPPs) worldwide were originally commissioned more than 40 years ago, so that the advanced age of the fleet is a major concern across all continents, and especially in Europe. The modernization of HPPs can generate severa ...
The presence of waterborne enteric viruses in lake recreational water sites is not desired, as they may have a negative impact on human health. However, their concentrations, fate and transport in lakes remain poor understood. To date, the health risks pos ...
We introduce a new representation of coupled solute and water age dynamics at the catchment scale, which shows how the contributions of young runoff waters can be directly referenced to observed water quality patterns. The methodology stems from recent tre ...
Waterborne enteric viruses in lakes, especially at recreational water sites, may have a negative impact on human health. However, their fate and transport in lakes are poorly understood. In this study, we propose a coupled water quality and quantitative mi ...
On-site biological hand washing water treatment can improve global access to safe hand washing water, but requires a thorough understanding of the chemical composition of the water to be treated, and an effective treatment strategy. This study first presen ...
Sodium gluconate has been shown to compensate the impact of alkalis on the long term strength development of cement pastes. This work studies the impact of sodium gluconate combined with Na2SO4 on the microstructural development of white cement-slag system ...
Agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which, combined with projected food requirements, makes the sustainable management of water resources critical to ensure national and global food security. ...
Interview of Prof. Lyesse Laloui at the RTS on the risks during the period of flood reduction. During the period of flood reduction, the level of water reduces more quickly than the pore water pressures in the ground of banks, which makes the risk of insta ...
The ability to evaluate stream hydrochemistry is often constrained by the capacity to sample streamwater at an adequate frequency. While technology is no longer a limiting factor, costs and sample management can still be a barrier to high-resolution water ...
Water impoundment by dams strongly affects the river natural flow regime, its attributes and the related ecosystem biodiversity. Fostering the sustainability of water uses e.g., hydropower systems thus implies searching for innovative operational policies ...
