As in all semi-arid regions, Tambarga, a small village surrounded by national parks in the landlocked country of Burkina Faso, is affected by the seasonality of the local hydrology. Seasonal and spatial variability of rainfall shapes the livelihoods of rur ...
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 ...
The main objective of this research is to keep up existing work related to the hydrological modeling of the Birse River in Switzerland. The present studies were performed using the software package HydroRoute System, being developed by Richard Metzger. Hyd ...
Deep saline aquifers have a great potential for geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration and proper assessment of host and cap rock is needed to guarantee that the procedure is safe. Temperatures and pressures at which most of the possible host rocks ex ...
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 diffusion into composite adhesive joints was experimentally studied by means of gravimetric measurements in bond specimens. The main parameters controlling the diffusion in the bond components were obtained from water uptake experiments carried out i ...
The hydrologic processes underlying a natural savanna in a semi-arid environment is altered when savanna is converted to agriculture. Infiltration is often observed to decrease while rapid runoff increases to the detriment of crop productivity, downstream p ...
The movement of air in natural porous media is complex and challenging to measure. Yet gas transport has important implications, for instance, for the evolution of the seasonal snow cover and for water vapor transport in soil. A novel in situ multi-sensor ...
This first semester spent working on the Solar Decathlon project aims at defining a compelling concept for the competition. The need for a support for energy considerations was quickly identified to complement the analysis carried out by the architects. Th ...
Widespread use of petrochemicals often leads to accidental releases in aquatic environments, occasionally with disastrous results. We have developed a hydrophobic and oleophilic mesh that separates oil from water continuously in situ via capillary action, ...
