[ES] Se presenta un sistema soporte para la toma de decisión multiobjetivo en un espacio continuo, en el que se integraron métodos clásicos y una metodología que se ha denominado "ecualizador" por las facultades regularizadoras ...
This paper presents some aspects of the time propagation of underground water leakage in controlled laboratory conditions using a drilled polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and interpreting ground penetrating radar (GPR) images. ...
[EN] In this paper, a ground penetrating radar (GPR) is used as a non-destructive
method to assess the buried elements of water supply systems (WSSs). The aim
is the detection of various pipe materials (such as plastic ...
[EN] Climate change is likely to strongly affect both the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of water resources. However, while potential impacts of climate change on water availability have been widely studied ...
[EN] In many areas of the world, dams and levees are built to reduce the likelihood of flooding. However, if they fail, the result can be catastrophic flooding beyond what would happen if they did not exist. Therefore, ...
In this paper, we analyse the effectiveness of flood
management measures based on the concept known as retaining
water in the landscape . The investigated measures
include afforestation, micro-ponds and small-reservoirs. ...

[EN] Fires are one of the main causes of damage to the forests. Due to the number of fires that occur each year, and the extent of losses caused, in particular, by large-scale fires, they are increasingly recognized as ...

Simple averaging, simple-Laplacian, Laplacian-with-skin, and non-uniform coarsening are the techniques investigated in this comparative study of three-dimensional hydraulic conductivity upscaling. The reference is a fine ...
[EN] Machine learning (ML) techniques have become important to support decision
making in management and conservation of freshwater aquatic
ecosystems. Given the large number of ML techniques and to improve the
...
[EN] The present research develops a systematic application of a selected family of 11 well-known design storms, all of them obtained from the same rainfall data sample. Some of them are fully consistent with the ...
In this paper, we present a conceptual-numerical model that can be deduced from a calibrated finite difference groundwater-flow model, which provides a parsimonious approach to simulate and analyze hydraulic heads and ...
Karjalainen, T.P.; Rossi, P. M.; Ala-aho, P.; Eskelinen, R.; Reinikainen, K.; Klove, B.; Pulido-Velazquez, M.; Yang, H.(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2013)
[EN] Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly used to facilitate both
rigorous analysis and stakeholder involvement in natural and water resource planning. Decision making in that context is often ...
The Manzanares River, located in Madrid (Spain), is the main water supplier of a highly populated region,
and it also receives wastewater from the same area. The effluents of eight Waste Water Treatment Plants
(WWTPs) ...

[EN] Order promising in manufacturing systems that produce non-uniform units of the same finished good becomes a more complex process when customer orders need to be served with homogeneous units. To facilitate this task, ...
Pastor-Jabaloyes, Laura; Arregui de la Cruz, Francisco; Cobacho Jordán, Ricardo(IWA Publishing, 2018)
[EN] One of the main difficulties encountered when designing automatic tools for water end use identification is the inherent noise present in recorded flow traces. Noise is mainly caused by the inability of the monitoring ...
The aim of this study was to develop a model able to correctly reproduce the filtration process of submerged anaerobic MBRs (SAnMBRs). The proposed model was calibrated and validated in a SAnMBR demonstration plant fitted ...
A novel methodology to sectorize water supply networks (WSNs) depending on a main transmission
line is presented in this paper. The methodology is based on concepts derived from the social
network theory and graph theory ...
[EN] In any water utility, a reliable assessment of the service life of the network pipes is a key piece within the big puzzle of assets management. This paper presents a new statistical model (basic pipes life assessment, ...
Alemany Díaz, María del Mar; Grillo Espinoza, Hanzel; Ortiz Bas, Ángel; Fuertes Miquel, Vicente Samuel(Elsevier, 2015-08-01)
Lack of homogeneity in the product (LHP) affects several sectors like horticulture, reverse logistics, furniture, ceramics and leathers, among others. Productive processes with LHP are characterized by manufacturing units ...
