We discuss the importance of modeling riparian vegetation and river flow interactions under differing hydrologic regimes. Modelling tools have notable implications with regard to the understanding of riverine ecosystem functioning and to promote sustainabl ...
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 ...
A novel approach is proposed to estimate the natural streamflow regime of a river and to assess the extent of the alterations induced by dam operation related to anthropogenic (e. g., agricultural, hydropower) water uses in engineered river basins. The met ...
A new transformation based on the Staudinger reaction is described, and its application in the design of a novel switch element to control peptide folding is demonstrated. We found that the azide switch is activated rapidly in water to promote acyl transfe ...
This paper estimates a translog cost function for Swiss water utilities. From the cost function, we are able to estimate measures of marginal costs as well as economies of production density, customer density and scale, which are important determinants in ...
Although generally accepted as a necessary step to improve water management and planning, integrated water resources management (IWRM) methodology does not provide a clear definition of what should be integrated. The various water-related issues that IWRM ...
Increasing water scarcity has posed a major constraint to sustain food production in many parts of the world. To study the situation at the regional level, we took Iran as an example and analyzed how an intra-country "virtual water trade strategy" (VWTS) m ...
In the context of liberalization in the public utility sectors, performance criteria have mainly focused on efficiency and effectiveness. However, the realization that restructuring based on the latter criteria has not been consistently successful in the w ...
In the field of environmental management, inefficient piecemeal sectorial approaches are still widespread, particularly in water resources management, where concerns and decisions are usually split among a set of rather weakly linked stakeholders. Planning ...
