The capture technology matters: Composition of municipal wastewater solids drives complexity of microbial community structure and volatile fatty acid profile during anaerobic fermentation

The production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) represents a relevant option to valorize municipal wastewater (MWW). In this context, different capture technologies can be used to recover organic carbon from wastewater in form of solids, while pre-treatment ...

The Land-Water-Energy Nexus of Ruzizi River Dams (Lake Kivu Outflow, African Great Lakes Region): Status, Challenges, and Perspectives

Alfred Johny Wüest

Hydroelectric power (HP) represents the main source of electricity in Africa, including the Democratic Republic of Congo. The demand for new dam construction is high, and major projects are currently progressing through planning and implementation stages. ...

, , , ,

In estuaries and marine environments, primary particles are frequently transported as large flocculated particles. This study provides, for the first time, evidence of in situ flocculation in Lake Geneva, a glacier-fed freshwater lake on the Swiss/French b ...

The influence of climate on water chemistry states and dynamics in rivers across Australia

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

For effective water quality management and policy development, spatial variability in the mean concentrations and dynamics of riverine water quality needs to be understood. Using water chemistry (calcium, electrical conductivity, nitrate-nitrite, soluble r ...

Nearfield development of the negatively buoyant Rhône River inflow into Lake Geneva as an interflow: suspended particulate matter and associated fluxes.

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Htet Kyi Wynn, Violaine Florette Piton, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Benjamin Daniel Graf

River inflows have a major influence on lake water quality through their input of sediments, nutrients and contaminants. It is therefore essential to determine their pathways, their mixing with ambient waters and the amount and type of Suspended Particulat ...

Co-culture of microalgae and bacteria for wastewater treatment

Thierry Mounir

To address the problem of insucient wastewater treatment and eutrophication of lakes and rivers, the symbiotic association of microalgae and bacteria has shown great potential and numerous advantages. First, co-cultures can exhibit ecient treatment of dome ...

Added value of smart storage operations on an alpine run-off-river HPP obtain from hydrological-hydraulic modelling

Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jessica Zordan, Maria Del Rosario Ponce Guzman

Run-off-river hydro projects can create sustainable energy minimizing impacts to the surrounding environment. Among many advantages of these systems, whose development has in fact been largely supported during the past years by the confederation, their mai ...

Organic substrate diffusibility governs microbial community composition, nutrient removal performance and kinetics of granulation of aerobic granular sludge

Christof Holliger, Eva Reynaert

Basic understanding of formation of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has mainly been derived from labscale systems with simple influents containing only highly diffusible volatile fatty acids (VFA) as organic substrate. This study compares start-up of AGS sys ...

Oxygen consumption in seasonally stratified lakes decreases only below a marginal phosphorus threshold

Alfred Johny Wüest, Robert Vincent Schwefel

Areal oxygen (O-2) consumption in deeper layers of stratified lakes and reservoirs depends on the amount of settling organic matter. As phosphorus (P) limits primary production in most lakes, protective and remediation efforts often seek to reduce P input. ...

Floodplain Land Cover and Flow Hydrodynamic Control of Overbank Sedimentation in Compound Channel Flows

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Hannes Jenny

Overbank sedimentation is predominantly due to fine sediments transported under suspension that become trapped and settle in floodplains when high-flow conditions occur in rivers. In a compound channel, the processes of exchanging water and fine sediments ...
