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

Risk Evaluation of Community-Based Water Systems from Nonpoint-Source Pollution in Eastern Visayas, Philippines

(Corresponding) GOMBA F., PERANTE W.

Topic:

Hydrology and water resources

This study evaluated the risk posed by nonpoint-source (NPS) pollution to the 266 community-based water systems (CBWS) in Eastern Visayas, Philippines. Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, together with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) was used to develop a Nonpoint-Source...Read more

Towards a sustainable water resources management in post-lignite era: the case of Western Macedonia, Greece

(Corresponding) Farmaki P., Tranoulidis A., Sotiropoulou R., Tagaris E.

Topic:

Water policy, management and society

In 2018, Public Power Corporation (PPC) employed 15,000 employees in the energy sector, mainly in lignite production, providing electricity to 6,900,000 customers in Greece. The total confirmed lignite reserves amount to 5 billion tons mostly resourced (1.8 billion tons) in the Western Macedonia...Read more

‘Water Underground’: Real-time, continuous monitoring of the underground water’s quantity and quality

Mavroforakis M., (Corresponding) Georgiou H., Malisiovas V., Psychias C., Papadimitriou D., Sarioglou K.

Topic:

Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing

Water resource management is one the most urgent aspects of environmental protection and sustainability policies world-wide. Accurate, real-time remote sensing of the status of underground reservoirs is required for proper regional planning, prevention of droughts, optimized farming etc. ‘Water...Read more

CIRC4FooD: An urban food production system inspired by the circular economy

(Corresponding) Tsatsou A., Ioannides C., Noutsopoulos C., Tsimiklis G., Chrisomallos G., Tsiropoulos Z., Mamais D., Malamis S.

Topic:

Spatial environmental planning

The environmental footprint of the current, linear food system is a key challenge that must be faced for a global transition to sustainability. Agricultural practices are drivers of polluting food production, while cities form critical hubs of wasteful food consumption. In this context, urban...Read more

The water tariff structure in the new Convergence Regulatory Scheme

(Corresponding) Macchiaroli M., Dolores L., De Mare G.

Topic:

Water policy, management and society

The most recent innovation in the regulation of the Italian Urban Water Management is the introduction of the Convergence Regulatory Scheme. The new tariff preparation method introduced by the Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks, and Environment (ARERA) aims to simplify the mechanism...Read more

Practical impediments to the effective utilization of Ballast Water Management Plan from Port facilities and Shipping practice

(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Polemis D., Tselentis V.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Since the new Ballast Water Management Convention entered into force in 2017, the ballast water should be cleansed of any harmful aquatic organisms, pathogens, wastes or even bacteria, before being released into a new aquatic environment. For this purpose, the ships are required to carry i) a...Read more

Evaluation of environmental impact assessment factors in maritime industry.

(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Vlachos G., Daniil G.

Topic:

Environmental impact of maritime transport

The environmental impact of shipping industry includes the pollution caused by vessels to air and water environment. The water pollution is primarily caused by ship accidents and by untreated ballast water. To avoid maritime accidents, a complex system of regulations and safety management...Read more
