Water resources management in education for sustainable development
(Corresponding) Tzaberis N., Paraskeva D., Tatarakis N.
Topic:
Water treatment
Issues relating to water resources are included among the most serious environmental problems. Pollution and deterioration of the receiving surface water and groundwater, mainly from human activities, pose an immediate threat to natural ecosystems and the functions of biosphere reserves, the...Read more

Sustainable purification of greywater with green walls
(Corresponding) Boano F., Caruso A., Costamagna E., Fiore S., Demichelis F., Ridolfi L., Galvão A., Pisoeiro J., Rizzo A., Masi F.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In this study, we describe a sustainable system for treatment and reuse of grey wastewater in urban areas through vertical green walls constructed on unused surfaces of buildings. The system integrates the benefits linked to the introduction of green spaces in urban areas with the advantages...Read more

Water Availability: A factor of sustainability and adaptation of agriculture to climate change
Papadopoulou M., (Corresponding) Charchousi D.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Climate change is expected to negatively affect agriculture. The effects of climate change on agricultural production are widely studied and adaptation strategies have already been proposed and even applied and assessed in many cases. A key component on agriculture vulnerability to climate change...Read more

Stakeholder Participation in Prioritization of Water Supply and Demand in Jordan
(Corresponding) Shammout M., Shatanawi M.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
Stakeholder participation in prioritization of water supply and demand was developed to assist water resource entities and water users on decision making when coping with water scarcity, climate change and contaminated water in Zarqa River Basin, Jordan. The basin was selected for CrITERIA project...Read more

Revision of the Scarcity State Indicator in the Spanish Drought Management Plans
(Corresponding) Palop-Donat C., Paredes-Arquiola J., Andreu-Álvarez J.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Droughts are one of the gravest natural threats currently existing in the world and their occurrence and intensity might be exacerbated due to Climate Change. Scarcity is defined as the period when demand does not accomplish the normal reliability levels due to poor water management. Water and...Read more

Enabling the Total Resource Utilization (TRU) Habitat
Tsantrizos P., (Corresponding) Curry N.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Terragon Environmental Technologies Inc. has developed a suite of user-friendly technologies to treat solid and liquid byproducts of human consumption now considered “waste” and convert them into “resources” that can be re-used in the same place in which they are generated (in situ). These...Read more

Sustainable water management in industry using Industrial Water Footprint
(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Grigoropoulou H.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Large quantities of water are consumed directly or indirectly by production and distribution plants. Industries are rapidly required to comply with the principles of sustainable development through United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), focusing on sustainable water management,...Read more

A stochastic approach to resilience assessment of urban water systems from source to tap.
(Corresponding) Nikolopoulos D., Kossieris P., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
The design of urban water systems faces long-term uncertainties in a multitude of parameters, from the hydroclimatic and socioeconomic realms, such as population growth, climate change and shifting demand patterns. To analyze such systems in a holistic way, many models for sub-systems are typically...Read more

An Agent-Based Modelling approach to assess risk in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).
(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Moraitis G., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
The classic approach to risk assessment in civil engineering infrastructure (incl. water systems) often takes an incomplete view of the socio-technical system and its cyber-physical extensions, thus confining the ability to properly quantify the level of risk. To tackle this limitation and enhance...Read more
