Evaluation of water quality of Kosynthos river in North Greece, using Water Quality Indices
(Corresponding) Gikas G., Lergios D., Psomakelis E., Petalas C.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
The water quality of Kosynthos river, located in Xanthi Prefecture, Northern Greece, was evaluated using Water Quality Indices (WQIs). A water quantity and quality monitoring program was undertaken from December 2016 to November 2017 on a weekly basis at four stations along the main course of...Read more

Water quality index, surface water bodies, water pollution
Τhe aim of this study was to check the water quality of Aposelemis Dam reservoir. The water quality was studied in nine (09) different water depths: 0 m, 02 m, 03 m, 05 m, 07 m, 09 m, 10 m, 13 m and 15 m. A sudden change in the temperature of the water was observed at the water depth of 7 m (...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
Rising population, increased industrial and agricultural water usage as well as climate changes have brought great challenges to water supply of adequate quality and quantity. Thus, the water treatment industry has nowadays a greater emphasis on the optimization of water treatment plants to improve...Read more

MONITORING OF TREATED DOMESTIC WASTE WATER QUALITY
Poulli K., (Corresponding) Ero R., Kozakou S., Michael N., Demetriou E., Christofidou M., Aletrari M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Cyprus is experiencing severe water supply deficiency. Particularly in summer months the situation is aggravated mainly due to low precipitation, high evaporation and increased demands for irrigation and tourisms. The use of treated wastewaters for environmental purposes such as recharging aquifers...Read more
A computationally efficient metamodeling-based approach for the automatic calibration of coupled hydrodynamic and water quality models
(Corresponding) Kandris K., Romas E., Tzimas A., Pechlivanidis I., Giardino C., Bresciani M., Schenk K., Bernert H.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
Computational budget is a severe limitation on the automatic calibration of expensive hydrodynamic and water quality models. To tackle this limitation, the present work formulated a metamodeling-based approach for parameter estimation of such models and assessed the computational gains of this...Read more

"Reliable in-Situ Sensing of Water Quality Parameters Using Low Cost Autonomous Analysers - Opportunities and Challenges"
Donohoe A., Hazel C., McCluskey P., McCaul M., (Corresponding) Diamond D.
Topic:
Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing
The delivery of platforms that can provide access to good quality analytical information on the chemical/biological status of water at an acceptable cost remains a formidable challenge, despite considerable efforts from the research community over many years. The relatively high cost of autonomous...Read more

Groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characterization of Khetri copper mining region, India
(Corresponding) Punia A., Siddaiah N., (Corresponding) Bharti R.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The impact of copper mine on groundwater quality in the semi-arid region is evaluated, and also characterized for hydrogeochemical processes. Groundwater samples (post monsoon and pre monsoon) from Khetri copper mine region of Rajasthan, India were studied. In majority of groundwater samples, the...Read more
