Drinking water from surface and ground water: production costs and influence of the climate change
(Corresponding) Verlicchi P., Grillini V., Maffini F., Benini A., Casoni R., Mari M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Drinking water production may be affected by climate changes (i.e. intense rainfall events and high temperature periods) which impact on the availability and quality of the water source, above all surface water bodies. Efforts are being made to adopt the best strategies in the drinking water...Read more

Environmental Effects on the Fate and Co-Transport of Pesticides and Microplastics in Soils Irrigated with Wastewater
Djebbari K., Li B., Shor L., Anagnostou E., (Corresponding) Bagtzoglou A.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
In this paper we report results from a series of kinetics and isotherms experiments under different conditions (salinity, organic carbon, and temperature) that were conducted in order to determine the equilibrium time and the sorption response of typical biodegradable microplastics in comparison to...Read more

Assessing Climate Change Impacts in the Tana Basin, Ethiopia
(Corresponding) Bagtzoglou A., Khadim F., Dokou Z., Lazin R., Anagnostou E.
Topic:
Climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks
Climate change effects on long-term groundwater (GW) resource developments in the Tana Basin, Ethiopia, are a growing concern. To address this we deployed a fine-resolution (500 m) GW model using MODFLOW-NWT for the Tana Basin, Upper the Blue Nile region. The GW model was calibrated based on 98...Read more

A comprehensive monitoring approach to evaluate the impact of an urban landfill on a naturally reducing aquifer
(Corresponding) Preziosi E., Parrone D., Frollini E., Ciotoli G., Sciarra A., Ruggiero L., Ghergo S.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The processes leading to high levels of arsenic, iron, and manganese in a naturally reducing aquifer beneath a landfill are investigated. Traditional groundwater monitoring (physical-chemical parameters, major and trace inorganic compounds, organic compounds) has been complemented with the analysis...Read more
