Global Trends & Challenges in Water Science, Research and Management
The global water challenge is unprecedented. Climate change, rapid urbanisation, increasing consumption and demand for food and energy, and changing land use, will leave few countries and communities unaffected. The demand for water and sanitation services is greater than it has ever been, and water has never been higher on the agenda. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) not only provide a…

Deterministic Modelling of Urban Stormwater and Sewer Systems
Computer modelling of drainage systems is a discipline that has soared over the past 50 years. It is estimated that a large proportion of all cities in the world with more than 100,000 inhabitants have used computer modelling, in one way or another, for design or analysis of the performance of their drainage systems. The development and introduction of the PC in the early 1980s played a decisiv…

Design Optimization of Wind Energy Conversion Systems with Applications
Modern and larger horizontal-axis wind turbines with power capacity reaching 15 MW and rotors of more than 235-meter diameter are under continuous development for the merit of minimizing the unit cost of energy production (total annual cost/annual energy produced). Such valuable advances in this competitive source of clean energy have made numerous research contributions in developing wind indu…

Coastal Lagoons in Europe: Integrated Water Resource Strategies
Lagoons represent nearly 13% of the shoreline globally and around 5% in Europe. Coastal lagoons are shallow water bodies separated from the ocean by a barrier (e.g., narrow spit), connected at least intermittently to the ocean by one or more restricted inlets, and usually geographically oriented parallel to the shoreline. Coastal lagoons are flexible and usually able to cope with environmental …

Clean Water Using Solar and Wind: Opportunities to reach outside the power grid
The aim of Clean Water Using Solar and Wind is to make water professionals aware of the possibilities that solar photo-voltaic (PV) and wind offer to bring, not only clean energy but also clean water to remote and rural areas in Africa and developing Asia as well as in many peri-urban areas in the developing world. These areas are located outside the conventional electric grids and a grid conne…
