Minimization of Water Age in Water Distribution Systems under Uncertain Demand [PDF]
Engineering ProceedingsMost existing approaches to ensuring water quality in water distribution systems (WDSs) are deterministic, i.e., they do not consider uncertainties, although they may have significant impacts on the water quality.

Influence of Riverbed Incision and Hydrological Evolution on Water Quality and Water Age Based on Numerical Simulation: A Case Study of the Minjiang Estuary. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2021 In recent years, problems such as water quality deterioration, saltwater invasion, and low oxygen have appeared in estuaries all over the world. The Minjiang River in Fujian, as a typical tidal estuary area, is facing these thorny problems. In this paper,

Water Ages Explain Tradeoffs Between Long‐Term Evapotranspiration and Ecosystem Drought Resilience
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The partitioning of terrestrial precipitation into evapotranspiration and river flow shapes ecosystems and water resources. Using observed precipitation, discharge, and satellite‐derived soil moisture and vegetation indices for watersheds located ...

Water-loss dehydration and aging [PDF]
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2014 This review defines water-loss and salt-loss dehydration. For older people serum osmolality appears the most appropriate gold standard for diagnosis of water-loss dehydration, but clear signs of early dehydration have not been developed. In older adults, lower muscle mass, reduced kidney function, physical and cognitive disabilities, blunted thirst ...

Age-Associated Abnormalities of Water Homeostasis [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2013 Findley first proposed the presence of age-related dysfunction of the hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal-renal axis more than 60 years ago. More sophisticated studies have since corroborated his findings. As a result, it is now clear that multiple abnormalities in water homeostasis occur commonly with aging, and that the elderly are uniquely susceptible to ...

A Graph-Theory-Based PRV Placement Algorithm for Reducing Water Age in Water Distribution Systems
, 2022 Water age is the time taken for water to travel through a distribution system and reach the consumer. Generally, there is a trade-off between water pressure and water age in a water distribution system—higher pressure results in higher flow ...

Leakage Management Influence on Water Age of Water Distribution Networks
Water Resources Research, 2023 Leakage management of Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) is a relevant technical task worldwide. Background leakages along mains and connections to properties in aged infrastructures represent a significant portion of the WDN water outflow, sometimes ...

Body water percentage from childhood to old age [PDF]
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2023 Background Total body water (TBW) increases with growth, but the body water percentage (TBW%) decreases with aging. The objective of our study was to delineate TBW% in males and females by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) from early childhood to ...
