Snow cover variations and spring snowmelt runoff modelling in the source region of the Yellow River, China

This study aims to assess the snow cover spatial and temporal variation in the Source Region of the Yellow River, to understand the effect of snowmelt on the hydrology and to evaluate the potential impact of increasing temperature on the spring snowmelt ru ...

Photocatalytic performance of TiO2 impregnated polyester for the degradation of Reactive Green 12: Implications of the surface pretreatment and the microstructure

Sami Rtimi

In the present work, we investigate the degradation of recalcitrant industrial textile dye (Reactive green 12) in aqueous solution by TiO2 impregnated polyester at room temperature. The TiO2 loading on polyester was optimized using different polyester pret ...

Integrated modelling approach of urban wet weather discharges into lakes

Oriane Rahèle Etter

With an ever growing population the city of Lausanne has a need to monitor and preserve its main water source, the lake. Permanent discharge from combined sewer over ows (CSO) and the waste water treatment plant have an impact on the Vidy Bay, making it th ...

Reliable estimates of predictive uncertainty for an Alpine catchment using a non-parametric methodology

Anton Schleiss, Bettina Schaefli, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

Uncertainty affects hydrological modelling efforts from the very measurements (or forecasts) that serve as inputs to the more or less inaccurate predictions that are produced. Uncertainty is truly inescapable in hydrology and yet, due to the theoretical an ...

Analysis of mechanical-hydraulic bedload deposition control measures

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt

During floods, the bedload transport of steep headwaters can exceed the hydraulic transport capacity of milder downstream reaches where settlements are often situated. Therefore, sediment retention barriers are typically installed upstream of such sensible ...

Hysteresis Effects in Splash Sediment Transport

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa, Mohsen Cheraghi

Temporally variable rainfall was applied on an initially dry, ploughed and smoothed agricultural soil to investigate the hysteresis pattern in the sediment concentration- discharge relation using laboratory flume experiments. The erosion flume had dimensio ...

Continuous Long-Term Observation of Suspended Sediment Transport between Two Pumped-Storage Reservoirs

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller

Transport of suspended sediment between the two reservoirs of a pumped-storage plant in Switzerland was monitored over an 8-month period. A turbidity probe was installed on the upstream end of the pressure shaft, in which real-time monitoring was ensured b ...

Sediment contamination assessment in urban areas based on total suspended solids

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Jonas Margot, Nathalie Chèvre Rossi, Romuald Curdy

Sediment represents an important compartment in surface waters. It constitutes a habitat or spawning site for many organisms and is an essential trophic resource for higher level organisms. It can be impacted by anthropogenic activities, particularly throu ...

Nanostructured Catalysts for the Continuous Reduction of Nitrates and Bromates in Water

Lioubov Kiwi

Nanostructured C-based catalysts have been developed to be used in continuously operated (open-flow) reactors for the removal of bromates and nitrates from polluted water. The catalysts contain transition-metal (Pd, Cu, and Sn) nanoparticles (NPs) supporte ...

Parsimonious hydrological modelling in urban areas: Towards integrated modelling

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

Most popular urban hydrological model used in research and engineering (e.g. MOUSE, SWMM, MUSIC,P8) are spatially distributed with linknode drainage network. If some of them (e.g. PURPS, RUNQUAL, SLAMM, StormTac and WBM) treat the catchment in a lumped fas ...
