Assessment of surface water quality on an oil extraction area in Albania
Zela G., Malltezi J., Demiraj E., Zela E., Sulce S., (Corresponding) Bani A.
Topic:
Environmental pollution
Oil extraction activities in Albania are considered as highly polluting for surface waters, but more for the amount of direct spills in riverine waters. The aim of this study was to assess the surface water quality for a period of 5 years (2014-2018) in four seasons based on different physico-...Read more

Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Climate change is increasingly been called a ‘security’ problem, and there has been speculation that climate change may increase the risk of violent conflict. In this paper, the impact of climate change on the indicators such as war and insecurity, water and food resources, poverty development,...Read more

Transformation products of microcystin-RR with reactive species produced by radiolysis of water.
Iliakopoulou S., Triantis T., Antonopoulou M., Edwards C., Linda L., Hiskia A., (Corresponding) Kaloudis T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Microcystins (MCs) are potent cyclic-peptide toxins produced by cyanobacteria during freshwater bloom episodes. They can severely impact drinking water supplies and recreational waters. More than 300 MCs are known today, which are toxic, mainly by inhibiting protein phosphatases. MC-RR is an...Read more

Water centrality to enabling water-energy-food systems
(Corresponding) Susnik J., Masia S., Teutschbein C.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water is a key enabler of global water-energy-food nexus systems. The role of water in energy generation and its role in food provision, is made explicit. These are aspects that are often overlooked, or ‘embedded’ in assessments, skimming over the critical role that water plays in societal-enabling...Read more

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

Domestic water consumption determinants in urban neighborhoods: A case study of Vijayawada, India
(Corresponding) Bandari A., Puttaparthi P., Sadhukhan S.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Domestic water consumption accounts for a large share of urban water demand. The present study discusses a study on domestic water consumption in ten different neighborhoods in Vijayawada, India. The study examines the relationship between per capita water consumption and various socio-economic,...Read more

Comparison between plasma microbubbles and gas-liquid dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma for pollutants degradation in water
Meropoulis S., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This study's main emphasis is the direct comparison between gas-liquid dielectric barrier discharge (GLDBD) and plasma microbubbles (PMB) concerning the kinetics related to the contaminant’s destruction and plasma-activated water composition. As contaminants with different structures,...Read more
Hydrogeological research on water supply conditions in a mountainous region of NE Greece
(Corresponding) EMPLIOUK I., PLIAKAS F., KALLIORAS A., KALIAMPAKOS D., TZEVELEKIS T.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
This paper deals with the investigation of the aquifer system of Myki Municipality in the mountainous area of Xanthi Prefecture, NE Greece, within the context of the development and management of groundwater of the study area for meeting drinking water supply needs. The work included, during spring...Read more

APPLICABILITY OF SULFATE RADICAL BASED ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESSES FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
(Corresponding) Dilsizoğlu Akyol N., Ölmez Hancı T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Natural Organic Matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds that are naturally present in water sources. NOM itself is not toxic, but its presence can have negative impacts on the quality of drinking water. It is important to remove NOM from drinking water sources through various...Read more
Optimizing Raw Water Sustainability through Innovative Supply Chain Management
(Corresponding) Corpus R., Bayani M., Almacha A., Austria A.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
The global water crisis threatens not only the availability of potable water, but also the supply of fresh water for industrial and agricultural use. In order to satisfy the rising demand for water, it is essential that the basic water supply chain be managed sustainably. This study seeks to...Read more
