The prevailing design provisions, such as minimum diameter, lead to oversizing of the water network, affecting operation. In upstream balancing reservoirs, outflow due to the water transmission network's excessive withdrawal capacity surpasses the available inflow causing flow starvation under intermittent water supply. This flow starvation causes partial flow in the downstream vicinity and forms a standing water column in the balancing reservoir's immediate downstream pipe. Traditional modeling approaches cannot simulate the piped network performance under this phenomenon due to their inability to model partial flow. Hence, a novel modeling approach is developed using a tank with an irregular cross-section, which integrates the hydraulic performance of the tank and the downstream pipe. Additionally, a reservoir and control valve represent the water withdrawal mechanism at the downstream reservoir. The proposed modeling approach simulates performance of a flow-starved water transmission network. A case study based on a real network is used to illustrate the robustness of the proposed approach. The developed modeling approach can serve as a management tool to devise operation schedules, helping better manage the operations of the water networks.","PeriodicalId":17666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology-Aqua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90331711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the effect of boiling on different kinds of iron particles (including loose deposits from the DWDS and their main components FeOOH, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4) was studied. At 10 mg/L, the turbidity values before/after boiling of Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and FeOOH were 134.00/121.00, 25.07/21.22, and 120.40/114.20 NTU, respectively. All the particles had a lower degree of crystallinity after boiling. After boiling, the number of particles in loose deposits increased and the particle size decreased, while iron oxides were on the contrary. Among the three iron oxides, the existence of Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 had different effects on disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation. The activity of microorganisms was the highest under particle concentration of 0.1 mg/L than other concentrations for all the particles, but the total microbiological risks were still very low after boiling. Thus, the boiling treatment would increase the turbidity and risks of the particles. As the particle concentration under low concentration is hard to be found, this risk is hard to be found.","PeriodicalId":17666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology-Aqua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73640961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The household survey questionnaire was used to collect primary data from 1040 households. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression analysis was applied to understand the relationship between economic benefit and factors that can affect economic benefit in the household. The empirical result shows that income (1.103**), storage capacity (0.574***), water price (32708.9***), age of rainwater harvesting (100.083***), and total cost (1.627***) positively impact economic benefit while the number of children (35.531**) has a negative relationship. The finding confirms the validity of statistical hypotheses. In addition, heterogeneity analysis was employed to test the model's strength and robustness check to validate the structural function and efficiency of the regression model. The finding concludes with policy recommendations, especially for rain-intensive countries that focus on (i) formulating and implementing rainwater harvesting policy; (ii) integrating rainwater harvesting as a tool for poverty reduction and achieving sustainable development goals; (iii) minimizing mismanagement of (rain) water that causes floods; (iv) initiate programme and take necessary steps for providing financial and non-financial incentive for rainwater harvesting in commercial, and non-commercial building.","PeriodicalId":17666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology-Aqua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86963676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FTIR spectra for sulfonated polymers illustrated the appearance of characteristic peaks at 100–1,200 cm−1 indicating that the copolymers were successfully sulfonated. The influence of different experimental factors (i.e., contact time, pH, NH4+ concentration, adsorbent dose) on ammonium ion adsorption was investigated; three adsorption isotherm models including Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin were used to study the adsorption mechanism. The results indicated that the equilibrium of adsorption can be reached within 30 min; the highest adsorption capacity can be achieved around pH 7. Furthermore, Freundlich isotherm was the most suitable for fitting the experimental data which might expose the heterogeneity of the adsorbent surface.

This work focused on the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine-B (RB) in an aqueous solution, as well as the photocatalytic behavior of niobium pentaoxide (Nb2O5) as a photocatalyst was tested. It is important to note that good photocatalytic efficiency is highly dependent on the operating conditions. There are several process parameters that influence RB photocatalytic degradation, including the amount of photocatalyst (Nb2O5) used, the concentration of RB at the start of the reaction, and the pH of the solution optimized under visible-light irradiation. According to the findings, the conditions in which the greatest amount of RB was degraded were those in which the concentration of the catalyst was 10 mg/l, the dosage of the catalyst was 1 mg/l, and the pH was 11. The results also revealed that after utilizing the catalyst three times in a row, catalyst efficiency was maintained, and the degradation rate was maintained at a greater level.","PeriodicalId":17666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology-Aqua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90983969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and the two independent sample t-tests were used to obtain the distribution with the highest degree of fitting, and the probability distribution and expected value of average annual household water consumption were obtained from the distribution probability function. The results demonstrated that the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution was the optimal distribution; families comprising one and two generations were dominant in terms of water consumption; and the number of water-saving households was far less than that of households with high levels of water consumption.

The minimum and maximum nodal chlorine concentrations and water ages at each α-cut level were obtained by the genetic algorithm (GA) based on EPANET hydraulic and water quality simulation toolkit. The fuzziness of nodal chlorine concentrations and water ages were measured using the fuzziness measure (FM) proposed in this paper. The method was applied to four networks to analyze the fuzziness of nodal chlorine concentrations and water ages. The results indicated that the distribution of nodal chlorine concentrations does not follow typical trapezoid distribution, while the distribution of nodal water ages follows typical trapezoid distribution. In addition, the chlorine concentration and water ages of nodes farther from the source are affected by uncertain parameters to a greater extent. The greater demands of nodes lead to less effects of uncertain parameters on chlorine concentration, and greater effects of uncertain parameters on water ages.

One of the factors responsible for IWS is unaccounted for water (UFW). Factors like increase in population, upward trends in water demand, water scarcity due to climate change, and asymmetric distribution of water resources are also equally important. However, social relations of water are poorly understood and camouflaged under technicalities associated with IWS. Thus, in this paper, we examine IWS in Indian mega cities and secondary cities with an ethno-economic framework by bringing the data together from various administrative sources like government agencies, allude to its parameters from logistical perspectives, e.g. distances, capacities, population strength, etc., and try to position the water issue with challenges associated with caste, class, gender, religion, region, and governance. The ethno-economic perspective is an attempt to not only complement but also supplement the scientific studies from other disciplines by understanding the real nature of demand and supply problems in urban water management. This paper demonstrates IWS as a multi-dimensional problem and stresses on the human drivers of intermittency.","PeriodicalId":17666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Supply: Research and Technology-Aqua","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72627754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
