Last month, our academic partner, Professor Dongil Seo from Chungnam National University in Korea, hosted a water quality modeling seminar featuring EEMS, with the support of our software reseller, Softline System. This two-day event included in-depth lectures on water quality, hands-on exercises focused on grid generation and model development, and practical case study applications of EEMS. Approximately 20 participants from research institutes, universities, and engineering firms attended, gaining valuable insights and enhancing their skills in EEMS water quality modeling. #WaterResourcesEngineer #Abstract #Conference #ModelingExcellence #EFDC #WaterQualityModeling #CyanobacteriaResearch #EnvironmentalScience #ModelingTechniques #EEModelingSystem #WaterEcosystems #EnvironmentalEngineering #AquaticEcology #ScienceInnovation #WaterManagement #EnvironmentalModeling #FluidDynamics #EcologicalResearch #WaterResearch #Consulting #WaterResources #WaterManagement #HydrologyConsulting #EnvironmentalEngineering #SustainableWater #WaterConservation#Hydrogeology #WaterInfrastructure #WaterQuality #ClimateResilience #WaterEngineering #HydraulicEngineering #FloodRiskManagement #StormwaterManagement #WaterSupplySystems #WaterTreatment #RiverRestoration #WatershedManagement #ResilientInfrastructure #ErosionControl #EEMS #Engineer #Engineering #Research #WaterResources

Filtering seawater like nature: Artificial structures that mimic proteins channelling #water in and out of cells have been used in membranes for filtering seawater to produce freshwater. Now, researchers led by #NTUsg Prof Rong Wang Executive Director of NEWRI Ecosystem and the former Chair of School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), NTU, Singapore have found a way to improve these #desalination membranes’ ability to remove salt. Usually, the desalination membranes contain the artificial water channels held in biomolecular structures. But NTU scientists instead embedded the water channels directly into parts of the membranes. By doing so, the researchers’ new membranes allowed more seawater to pass through than a commercial membrane in the same amount of time, while still being able to remove the same high amount of salt. https://lnkd.in/geeWaPug #NTUsgResearch #PushingFrontiers #CEE

'Biological Dimension to Environmental Engineering' is a step-up e-book designed to throw clarity into the dynamic relationship between microbes and the human engineering environment. Interesting aspects such as, wastewater treatment, bioenergy production, bioremediation and biochemical substrate utilization kinetics are explored herein. In addition, undergrads and post-graduate students researching in environmental and biochemical processes would definitely find this e-book a fantastic companion. Thus, getting your copy now would be worth the while!!!!

More of the theory and research supporting "energy systems science and practice." As with the book I shared the other day, this is also a relative "oldie" that also points to the necessity for this "energetic #flow viewpoint" to take hold soon. Here we are, 17 years later, and we are moving this field forward ... "This volume is a major modernization of Odum's classic work on the significance of #power and its role in society, bringing his approach and insight to a whole new generation of students and scholars. For this edition Odum refines his original theories and introduces two new measures: emergy and transformity. These concepts can be used to evaluate and compare systems and their #transformation and use of resources by accounting for all the energies and materials that flow in and out and expressing them in equivalent ability to do work. "Natural energies such as solar radiation and the cycling of water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are diagrammed in terms of #energy and emergy flow. Through this method Odum reveals the similarities between human economic and social systems and the #ecosystems of the natural world. In the process, we discover that our survival and prosperity are regulated as much by the laws of #energetics as are systems of the physical and chemical world." Stay tuned for the next offering of "Energy Systems Science and Practice" ... More here - https://lnkd.in/eMs5Swug

Excellent applied research for those working on potable reuse, this article in AWWA Water Science examines how system design and operation affect RO membrane performance; the American Water Works Association thanks the research team from The University of New Mexico!

I am glad to share that my co-authored research article entitled "Multi-Facet analysis of analytical and numerical models to resolve sustainable artificial recharge rates in unconfined aquifers" by Ranveer Kumar, Ankit Tewari, Shreyansh Mishra, Prof. Prabhat Kumar Singh and Dr. Shishir Gaur, has been published in the "Journal of Environmental Management " https://lnkd.in/gFKkzizf This paper addresses the challenges of quantifying transient injection rates in unconfined aquifers and identifying suitable sites for Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), based on available surplus water and permissible recharge capacity of aquifers. The developed methodology is computationally efficient and could augment the field problem of determining scheduled recharge rates in artificial recharge projects. There is a 50 days' free access to my article and it can be directly accessed and downloaded from the following link https://lnkd.in/gUXS7pYv

#ICYMI In a paper by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC)'s Eyal Frank and Anant Sudarshan of the University of Warwick, researchers use a statistical method called “difference-in-differences” to compare changes in the death rate in districts with habitats well suited to vultures with those in less suitable places.

✨ #ESWRT outstanding emerging investigator paper was awarded to Jeseth Delgado Vela and Mitham Al-faliti for their frontier review ‘the role of phage lifestyle in wastewater microbial community structures and functions: insights into diverse microbial environments’. Jeseth is an Assistant Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Duke University. Mitham is a PhD student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Howard University. Jeseth started her group at Howard and just moved to Duke in August. Mitham was the first PhD student to join the group! Their publication is a frontier review on phage in biological wastewater treatment processes. They had been reading a broad range of literature outside the environmental engineering field on phage molecular signaling and thought some of this could be contextualized for researchers thinking about the role of phage in wastewater bioprocesses. Mitham tells us “we hope the article can reach as many readers as possible and provide an insight to the current stage of knowledge regarding the potential role of phages in biological wastewater treatment processes. This could benefit environmental engineers considering advantageous applications of phage within biological water/wastewater treatment systems. There is still more to uncover regarding the phage life cycles and molecular signals, and hopefully the article could be a step forward in driving research in this area.” https://lnkd.in/ecBK8CbF The lab group are pictured in the below photo 📷 #EnvSciOutstandingPapers #OpenAccess #EnvironmentalScience #RSCEnv

This is a brief and basic presentation about fine bubble technology and application that our application agent in Vietnam presented to a group of university students of biological and environmental engineering faculty in Van Lang University of Vietnam in Mar 2023. The content is a 2022-updated market overview and summary of a 300-pages book named "Micro and Nanobubbles - Fundamentals and Applications" by Hideki Tsuge published in 2014. Fine bubble solutions have now become very common with more than 100 companies in the world.
