CONTESTED GOOD CITY STORIES FROM A NORTH CHENNAI LITTORAL

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 1302-1322, November 2025.
Abstract This article investigates the wilful destruction of Ennore Creek, a littoral wetland system in north Chennai, Tamil Nadu, by a series of shifting statist good city imaginaries expressed in plans, research reports, environmental impact assessments, government orders and court judgements.

The role of vegetation, drying, and rewetting on water and sediment phosphorus concentrations in an experimental ditch channel experiment

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Intermittent drying and rewetting of agricultural drainage ditch networks along with vegetation presence play a significant role in phosphorus (P) fate and transport to the receiving water bodies. To examine how vegetation influences the response of P transport to drying and rewetting, we lined six low‐gradient (0.01% slope) stainless steel ...

Synergistic Evolution of Soil and Vegetation in Reclamation Areas with Different Developmental Years on Hengsha Island

open access: yesAgriculture
Coastal reclamation reshapes both soils and vegetation, yet their coupled trajectories remain poorly understood. Here we investigated soil–vegetation co-evolution across a 15-year chronosequence on Hengsha Island in the Yangtze River estuary.

HEAVY METAL REMOVAL FROM DREDGING SLURRY USING A PARABOLIC HYDROCYCLONE

open access: yesRevista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental, 2019
Heavy metals usually aggregate as fine particles in dredging slurry and need to be removed or reduced before recycling of the slurry. However, traditional hydrocyclone method often leads to low separation efficiency because of the difficulties in the complete separation of fine particles.

Small-Strain Dynamic Behaviours of Reconstituted Soft Clay Under Different Initial Water Contents

open access: yesApplied Sciences
High-water-content dredged slurry from port dredging requires geotechnical improvement via drainage and consolidation. The small-strain dynamic properties (shear stiffness, damping characteristics) of reconstituted and consolidated clays are critical to ...

Field Study on the Vacuum Preloading of Dredged Slurry with Wheat Straw Drainage

open access: yesKSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
In this paper, a new shallow reinforcement technique for dredged fill was proposed. In which wheat straw was used as vertical and horizontal drains in lieu of materials applied in the traditional vacuum preloading method. This was not only helpful to avoid permanent environmental damage caused by prefabricated vertical drains but also helpful to ...

Radio-frequency slurry-density measurement for dredging pipelines

open access: yes, 2011
Hydraulic dredgers make use of a density meter to measure the instantaneous density in the slurry transport pipeline, primarily for process control and production calculation. the current ‘golden’ standard for slurry density measurement is the radioactive density meter. It is based on a slurry density-dependent absorption of gamma radiation.
