Sources, Spreading and Fate of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Resistant Bacteria in Vidy Bay, Lake Geneva, Switzerland

Increasing numbers of multiresistant bacterial pathogens cause severe health problems on a global scale. Large quantities of bacteria and their resistance genes are discharged into natural environments via human and animal waste. Not much is known so far a ...

Substance flow analysis as a tool for mitigating the impact of pharmaceuticals on the aquatic system

Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Htet Kyi Wynn, Jonas Margot

Pharmaceuticals constitute an important environmental issue for receiving waters. A holistic approach, taking into consideration the sources of these compounds (hospitals, domestic use), discharges (wastewater effluent, combined sewer overflows) and relate ...

A computational platform for integrated modelling of micropollution in the urban environment

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Timothée Noé Pouchon

Anthropogenic chemical contaminants are found routinely in our water resources. Although most of these compounds are usually present at low concentrations, they are of concern due to their ecotoxicity, antibacterial resistance and potential harm to human h ...

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 ...

Parsimonious hydrological modeling of urban sewer and river catchments

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

A parsimonious model of flow capable of simulating flow in natural/engineered catchments and at WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plant) inlets was developed. The model considers three interacting, dynamic storages that account for transfer of water within the sy ...

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 ...

Biocides in paints in urban areas: Modelling an underestimated source of environmental contamination

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Chiara Rota

Biocide contamination of receiving waters is generally linked with agriculture. However, recent studies have shown that urban contributions should be also considered. One of the suspected biocide sources in the urban environment is building paint. Biocides ...

Junction flow between drop shaft and diversion tunnel in Lyss, Switzerland

Michael Pfister

A diversion tunnel is planned for flood protection in the City of Lyss, Switzerland. This tunnel includes a junction, from which water from a side creek is added to the tunnel flow. The latter is sensitive to choking, so that the junction had to be optimiz ...

Monitoring of steel-lined pressure shafts considering water-hammer wave signals and fluid-structure interaction

Fadi Hachem

High head pressure tunnels and shafts of hydropower plants with low rock overburden have to be steel-lined. Since the water can reach in an uncontrolled way the rock surface in case of failure of these water-conveying systems, high damages due to landslide ...
