Prediction of Actual from Climatic Precipitation with Data Collected from Northern Poland: A Statistical Approach.

Water is a basic element of the natural environment and the most important component in human water management. Rainfall is the main source of water. Therefore, determining the amount of precipitation reaching the ground using sensors is crucial information.

Groundwater Quality Modeling and Mitigation from Wastewater Used in Irrigation, a Case Study of the Nile Delta Aquifer in Egypt.

Groundwater is an essential freshwater source because traditional sources of freshwater, such as rainfall and rivers, are unable to provide all residential, industrial, and agricultural demands. Groundwater is replenished by different sources: rivers, canals, drains, and precipitation. This research aims to apply numerical models for a real case study (Bahr El Baqar drain) in the Eastern Nile aquifer to monitor groundwater quality due to the use of wastewater from drains directly in irrigation due to the shortage of freshwater in this area.

Evaluating the Hydraulic Effects of the Flow through and over the Submerged Biofilter Installed in Polluted Streams.

The problem of shortage in freshwater resources in many countries around the world has led to the use of unconventional water resources such as treated wastewater and agricultural drains water to bridge the gap between the demand and supply. However, the open nature of most agricultural drains and the spread of population cumulation around them has made them vulnerable to many organic and inorganic pollutants. One of the artificial methods used to enhance the self-purification process in polluted streams is submerged biofilters (SB).

Improving the Hydraulic Effects Resulting from the Use of a Submerged Biofiter to Enhance Water Quality in Polluted Streams.

Water scarcity is one of the most serious problems facing many countries. In addition, water pollution could lose more water. A submerged biofilter (SB) is used to enhance the self-purification process in polluted streams.

Investigating and Managing the Impact of Using Untreated Wastewater for Irrigation on the Groundwater Quality in Arid and Semi-Arid Regions.

This study aims to investigate the impact of using untreated wastewater in irrigation. Different scenarios of management were applied by mixing it with treated wastewater or freshwater on groundwater quality. A hypothetical case study is presented.

Application of an artificial neural network for the improvement of agricultural drainage water quality using a submerged biofilter.

Artificial neural network (ANN) mathematical models, such as the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), have been used successfully in different environmental engineering applications to provide a reasonable match between the measured and predicted concentrations of certain important parameters. In the current study, two RBFNNs (one conventional and one based on particle swarm optimization (PSO)) are employed to accurately predict the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from polluted water streams using submerged biofilter media (plastic and gravel) under the influence of different variables such as temperature (18.00-28.

Mitigation of seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers using coastal earth fill considering future sea level rise.

Saltwater intrusion (SWI) is a physical problem that threatens many coastal aquifers all over the world. Saltwater intrusion is increasing with abstraction and rise in sea level. Coastal aquifer protection is essential to protect groundwater resources in these areas.

Numerical analysis of physical barriers systems efficiency in controlling saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers.

Saltwater intrusion (SWI) increases salinity of aquifers and depletion of groundwater resources in coastal aquifers. Different methods have been used to control SWI in the coastal aquifers in order to protect groundwater. In this paper, applicability of physical subsurface barriers (PSB) methods to control SWI in the Biscayne aquifer in Florida, USA, is studied.

Effect of Topographic Data Accuracy on Watershed Management.

A digital elevation model (DEM) is a digital model or 3D representation of a terrain's surface. There are many methods to create DEM such as LiDAR, stereo photogrammetry and topographic maps. DEMs are very important for many applications such as extracting terrain parameters for geomorphology and modeling water flow for hydrology or mass movement.

Comprehensive study of the percolation of water from surface runoff with an emphasis on the retention capacity and intensity of precipitation.

Urban hydrology was created in order to improve methods of managing the runoff of precipitation in towns and protect them from flooding while also protecting public health and environment. The essence of a future solution consists in finding an acceptable compromise of an alternative solution for draining rainwater from a territory. The content of this work is a study focused on resolving the percolation of water from surface runoff and the confrontation between a field test, laboratory analysis, and numerical analysis.
