A Short-Term Planning Framework for the Operation of Tanker-Based Water Distribution Systems in Urban Areas [PDF]
Tanker-based distribution systems have been prevalent in developing countries to supply clean and pure water in different regions. To efficiently operate such tanker service systems, a large fleet of tanker trucks are required to transport water among several water sources, water treatment plants and consumers spanning across the regions. This requires

Water Filtration Using Plant Xylem [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Effective point-of-use devices for providing safe drinking water are urgently needed to reduce the global burden of waterborne disease. Here we show that plant xylem from the sapwood of coniferous trees - a readily available, inexpensive, biodegradable, and disposable material - can remove bacteria from water by simple pressure-driven filtration ...

Nonlinearity and Domain Switching in a 3D‐Printed Architected Ferroelectric
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.By combining functional properties measurement with in situ 2D X‐ray microdiffraction experiments, it is shown that nonlinear polarization and strain responses of a 3D‐printed architected ferroelectric are driven by localized progression of domain switching, which depends on nonuniform electric‐field distribution as well as evolving stress fields.

Use of enameling wastewater in the wet milling process for ‘monoporosa’ tile composition
Cleaner Engineering and Technology, 2021 Water is becoming scarce for ceramic processing, even in certain regions of Brazil. In the wet milling process, the ceramic slips are formed by 30 wt% water to achieve the adequate density and viscosity for an efficient milling.

Tracking Progress Towards Sustainable Development Goal 6 Using Satellite Imagery [PDF]
arXivClean water and sanitation are essential for health, well-being, and sustainable development, yet significant global disparities remain. Although the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 6 has clear targets for universal access to clean water and sanitation, data coverage and openness remain obstacles for tracking progress in many countries ...

Lake contamination models for evolution towards steady state
Journal of Limnology, 2003 Most lakes are in an average steady state for water but contaminants may not yet have reached steady state or are gradually being flushed out in a clean-up program.
