Sediment continuity and augmentation measures

Impaired sediment transport can have numerous adverse impacts on the eco-morphodynamics of the riverscape. If well designed, sediment augmentation measures present a promising mitigation approach at different scales. This chapter focuses on flume experim ...

Atmospheric water harvesting in semi-arid regions by membranes: A techno-economic assessment

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Marina Micari, Xuekui Duan

The availability of a reliable and sufficient amount of water constitutes one of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. The provision of water is still challenging in many regions of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions ...

Continuous monitoring of morphological changes from sediment augmentation by field measurements and flume experiments

Giovanni De Cesare, Christian Mörtl

In this study, we present results from continuous field monitoring and a flume ex-periment of a sediment augmentation measure in a residual flow reach of the Swiss midlands. A straight morphological channel with fixed bed material was constructed to repres ...

Comparing the anti-bacterial performance of chlorination and electrolysis post-treatments in a hand washing water recycling system

Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé

Innovative solutions are necessary to enable the decentralized recycling of greywater for applications requiring high-quality water, such as hand washing. While physical barriers such as ultrafiltration membranes effectively prevent the passage of bacteria ...

Experiments and numerical modeling of baffle configuration effects on the performance of sedimentation tanks

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar, Amir Mehdi Razmi

The hydraulic efficiency of sedimentation basins is reduced by short-circuiting, circulation zones and bottom particle-laden jets. Baffles are used to improve sediment tank performance. In this study, laboratory experiments were used to examine the hydrody ...

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 ...

Hydromechanically coupled analysis of transient phenomena in a rainfall-induced landslide

Lyesse Laloui, Mathieu Nuth, John Eichenberger

Heavy rainfall can lead to shallow slips in slopes that are initially in a state of partial water saturation. Multiphysics numerical modelling approaches taking into account the involved physical key processes in variably saturated soils during rainfall ev ...

Modeling the Onset of Shallow Landslides in Partially Saturated Slopes Subjected to Rain Infiltration

Lyesse Laloui, Mathieu Nuth, John Eichenberger

Heavy rainfall can lead to shallow slips on slopes which are often initially in a state of partial water saturation. A multiphysics approach and advanced constitutive modeling are necessary to take into account the physical key processes in partially satur ...

Modeling the influence of intermittent rain events on long-term fate and transport of organic air pollutants

The deposition of particles and substances in air is under strong influence of the precipitation patterns of the atmosphere. Most multimedia models, like type III Mackay models, treat rain as a continuous phenomenon. This may cause severe overestimation of ...
