Para el análisis de la información, la hidrología utiliza los conceptos de probabilidades y estadística, siendo este campo una de las primeras áreas de la ciencia e ingeniería en usar los conceptos estadísticos, en un esfuerzo para analizar los fenómenos naturales.
This book presents the latest results related to photocatalytic inactivation/killing of microorganisms, which is a promising alternative disinfection method that produces less or even no disinfection byproduct.
Integrating the latest developments in urban water hydrology and management, Urban Water Engineering and Management takes a system approach to urban water hydrology, engineering, planning, and management, supplying examples and case studies and highlighting pressing issues such as urban water governance, disaster management, and climate change impacts on urban areas.
This book reviews the hydrogeology of karst systems, starting with the classifications from the applied point of view, and then the hydraulic parameters (porosity, permeability, and transmissivity).
Lakes of Africa: Microbial Diversity and Sustainability examines microbial ecosystems in African lakes, including the history and formation of African lakes.
This volume creates a platform to showcase health geography research from countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and draws on theoretical and methodological innovations to initiate a discussion on the complexities of the issues impacting health in the region.
The book presents the first comprehensive description of parts of the Mid-Atlantic ridge subject to a contract for polymetallic sulphide exploration between the International Seabed Authority and the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Poland.
This book summarizes the recent research development concerning olive oil wastewater management: characterization, environmental impact, recovery and treatment.
This book explains the dynamics of natural systems - the geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere - and their interactions, along with the human contribution to naturally occurring processes, which is one of the most urgent and practically important scientific problems of our age.
Las necesidades de datos técnicos encontrados en zonas campesinas e indígenas económicamente vulnerables, en el trajinar de 13 años de proyectos de responsabilidad social, ha motivado el estudio de: geología, geomorfología, hidrología y climatología de zonas como: la cuenca del río Atacames y la cuenca inicial del río Toachi; mediante tecnologías de: sensores remotos, GIS y software R; con el fin de utilizar estos datos en proyectos de riego comunitario, agua de consumo humano y ordenamiento territorial.
Artificial intelligence and the use of computational methods to extract information from data are providing adequate tools to monitor and predict water pollutants and water quality issues faster and more accurately.
This new volume offers effective solutions to the mismanagement of waste, particularly in developing countries, by providing an understanding of different types of wastes, their generation, and use of advanced technologies for waste management, and by focusing on integrating the technical and regulatory complexities of waste management.

This book presents possible solutions for a circuler economy (CE) in the water and wastewater sector through an inventory of multidisciplinary knowledge with high scientific and practical importance which can contribute to support the transition to the CE model in water and wastewater sector.
After providing a historical overview, this book highlights the current state of knowledge, gaps in our knowledge, recent findings and future prospects with regard to the biological, chemical, geological, and geographical specificities of the Plitvice lakes in Croatia.
This book provides an overview of the tropical marine environments of Brazil and a multi-disciplinary assessment of the impact of ongoing climate change in these environments.
In arid and semi-arid regions, where water demand exceeds water availability, water security is becoming a significant concern not only related to water availability but also to rigorous and costly requirements to remove conventional and emerging contaminants from effluents discharging into drinking water sources or as water reuse becomes an alternate water supply for communities in these regions.
Climate change not only involves rising temperatures but it can also alter the hydro-meteorological parameters of a region and the corresponding changes emerging in the various biotic or abiotic environmental features.
