Model Predictive Control for Multi-Objective Optimization of Separate Sewer Networks Based on Dynamic Weights

Applied Sciences
Urban separate sewer systems face significant challenges from rainfall-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) during the wet season. To achieve the integrated optimization of operational safety, energy consumption, and carbon emissions, this study ...

Structure and functional genes associated with carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycling processes in periphyton: A comparison between natural and artificial rivers

River, EarlyView.
Network analysis of functional genes among prokaryotes, and eukaryotes in natural and artificial rivers. Abstract Periphyton in aquatic ecosystems plays vital roles in the elemental cycle process and is vulnerable to anthropogenic interference. However, few studies have explored the elemental cycles of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and ...

Runoff Volume Reduction Using Green Infrastructure

Land, 2021
Uncontrolled urbanization is a frequent cause behind the local flooding of catchment areas. This also results in a degradation of water quality in receivers, as well as causing a disruption of the natural water cycle in the catchment. Classical solutions,

Social, Technological, Economic, and Policy Factors in the Circular Economy Transition in Brazil

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A well‐functioning circular economy (CE) integrates resilience across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. This study identifies key drivers and barriers to Brazil's CE transition through 20 semi‐structured interviews with stakeholders. Major sociocultural barriers include inadequate education and limited CE awareness, while growing

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Short-term microbial release during rain events from on-site sewers and cattle in a surface water source [PDF]

Journal of Water and Health, 2013
The protection of drinking water from pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia requires an understanding of the short-term microbial release from faecal contamination sources in the catchment. Flow-weighted samples were collected during two rainfall events in a stream draining an area with on-site sewers and during two rainfall events in surface ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Oxidative Damage, Energy Imbalance, and Behavioral Disruptions in Girardia tigrina Exposed to Treated Sewage Effluents

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the ecotoxicological effects of treated sewage on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, integrating biochemical, energetic, and behavioral biomarkers. Planarians were exposed for 48 h to different concentrations of treated sewage (12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) and compared to controls using commercial water and water from
