Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in freshwater ecosystems, especially of cyanobacterial species, are becoming more frequent and expanding geographically, including in Lake Erie in North America. HABs are the result of complex and synergistic environmental factors,…

Mathematical-computational optimisation models of irrigation networks with a distributed flow that are capable of providing hydraulic data are important for understanding the behaviour of a system in relation to the distribution of the hydraulic head (energy)…

Any everyday subject may trigger individual conceptions either scientifically correct or naively shaped (misconceptions, alternative conceptions). For any educator, knowledge about a pupil’s individual perception may strongly support teaching success. Within…

This study seeks to evaluate the mechanisms for dewatering sludge from Water Treatment Plants (WTP) in a natural system that uses nonwoven polyester geotextile blankets named Drainage Bed (DB). Dewatering mechanisms are divided into two stages: Drainage and D…
