Abstract The gap between water supply and demand is increasing in several urban clusters of the world. This study uses the water evaluation and planning model to assess the water supply and demand dynamics in one of the large metropolitan regions of the Chennai hydrological basin. The primary water supply sources, including reservoirs, groundwater, inter-basin transfer, and desalination plants, were integrated into the model to simulate the current and future water demand and supply scenario. Three rainfall scenarios (excess, normal, and deficit) were utilized to assess their impacts on water supply. The study highlights the increase in unmet demand for normal and deficit rainfall scenarios. In response, various mitigation options were explored, including increasing groundwater recharge, reservoir capacity enhancement, water treatment plant expansion, additional storage, and utilization of water stored in rock quarries. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to develop sustainable water management strategies in the Chennai Basin.

Abstract Understanding the potential impact of anthropogenic climate change on the hydrological regime of the Koshi River Basin (KRB) is very important for sustainable water resources and ecosystem management. The hydrological studies are mainly focused on the annual, seasonal, and peak flows of the hydrological regime; however, the ecologically relevant flows of the hydrological regime are less explored. In this study, we analyzed the different flow characteristics based on the magnitude, intensity, and duration using the Indicator of Hydrologic Alterations (IHA) under the influence of shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) scenarios. We found that the KRB will experience a shift in hydro-climatic events, an increase in rise and fall rates of flow, increase in monthly low flows of the hydrological regime, eventually affecting the livelihoods and ecosystem of the basin. This study highlights the importance of environmental flow components (EFCs) in a hydrological regime to better understand the flow characteristics during the future hydro-climatic variability.

Abstract This study combined emergy theory with water ecological footprint to analyze and evaluate the sustainable development status of water resources in Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2021. The water pollutant account and the water product account were supplemented to the water ecological footprint. The results showed that the water resources in Yunnan Province were generally in an ecological deficit during the study period, but their absolute values were very small. The ecological pressure index of water resources was high, while the sustainable utilization index of water resources was low, indicating that the water resources were in a state of unsustainable utilization. However, the emergy ecological footprint of water resources and the emergy ecological footprint of water resources of 10,000 Yuan GDP showed a decreasing trend, and the eco-economic coordination index of water resources was relatively high, indicating that the water resources will show a sustainable development trend in the future. The sustainable development of water resources was influenced by both natural ecological factors and social factors. Therefore, suggestions such as improving the utilization rate of water resources development, developing a green low-carbon economy, preventing and controlling water pollution, and protecting the water environment are conducive to promoting the sustainable development of water resources.

Abstract Partitioning water distribution networks (WDNs) into district metered areas offers benefits including reduced nonrevenue water and simplified pressure management. However, current research in this field tends to narrowly focus on the topological relationships among nodes, often overlooking the influence of pressure reducing valves (PRVs) and pump stations on clustering results. To address this limitation, this study introduces a topology-distance-based clustering (TDBC) method that enhances the accuracy of partitioning by explicitly considering the impact of PRVs and pump stations. In the TDBC method, the Floyd algorithm is initially employed to construct a topological distance matrix that quantifies the degree of node connectivity. By amplifying topological distances for links including PRVs and pump stations, their effect on clustering results is incorporated. Subsequently, nodes are clustered using the K-means algorithm based on the resulting topology-distance matrix. The proposed TDBC approach is applied to four network cases, and its outcomes are compared with those of two traditional methods. The comparative analysis indicates that the TDBC algorithm achieves precise partitioning results for networks incorporating PRVs or pump stations, while ensuring a harmonious balance between modularity and the uniformity of the partitioning results, even in networks with complex structures and highly interconnected loops.

Abstract Wastewater treatment is one of the key problems that has to be solved by environmental biotechnology. Wastewater bioremediation is one of the most efficient and safest methods to replenish water resources. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of using bacterial consortiums for reducing the organic load in wastewater, specifically focusing on water samples collected from three water bodies in central and northern Kazakhstan, which are known for their high levels of organic pollution. This study utilized bacterial strains from a microorganism collection to create consortiums. These consortiums were used to treat wastewater from polluted water bodies in Kazakhstan, focusing on parameters like COD, BOD5, ammonia, and phosphate. The methodology involved culturing strains, collecting water samples, and analyzing various parameters. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the results. The study found that two bacterial consortiums, 7BLB and 7BLPA, were the most effective in reducing COD, ammonia, and ammonia nitrogen in wastewater. The consortium 6BLP was highly effective at reducing phosphate levels, surpassing acceptable standards. Hydrogen levels met regulatory requirements in all cases. The study recommends further investigation of these consortiums’ impact on other water quality indicators and suggests conducting field experiments in natural water ponds.

Abstract Algal blooms can seriously affect the operation of water treatment processes including low-pressure (micro- and ultrafiltration) and high-pressure (nanofiltration and reverse osmosis) membranes mainly due to the accumulation of algae-derived organic matter (AOM). This study investigated the effect of granular activated carbon (GAC) pretreatment on PVDF microfiltration performance for the removal of AOM. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) solution of commercial humic acid, extra- and intracellular organic matter from two species of algae, and Cyanobacteria were used for the investigation of the fouling potential of the membrane. A comparison study of different DOM removal and fouling behaviors of microfiltration (MF) after GAC adsorption as pretreatment was evaluated under variable GAC dosage and solution pH. Almost 15–20% improvement in flux and decline in irreversible fouling occurred due to the pretreatment using 1.0 g/L of GAC for an hour. The intracellular material caused higher membrane fouling than humic acid due to the hydrophilic nature of the AOM. Membrane fouling and decline in flux increased with increasing pH in the range of 5.0–8.0. The comparison results might help to provide insights into the real challenge of dealing with the treatment of algal-laden water.

Abstract Mashhad's Kashafrood basin has been affected by land use changes, urbanization, and the development of agricultural water resources. This basin is located in the Razavi Khorasan province, Mashhad city. This research analyzes the impact of land use changes on river flow from a hydraulic point of view. For this purpose, the studied area was divided into five sub-basins and flood values were calculated using Deacon's method and different return periods for the sub-basins. In order to determine the intensity and extent of lateral erosion, two factors, the height of the terraces (H) and the amount of erosion activity (T), were measured, separated into different classes and evaluated. Also, the river was simulated under different hydraulic regimes. The results showed that the effects of erosion in more than 50% of the observation path and the 25-year discharge entered the bed area. The highest sensitivity to changes in the roughness coefficient is related to the flow surface and the width of the upper surface. Based on this, this research provides valuable information for land use management, understanding the impact of land use changes on river basins, and for decision-making by the executives.

Abstract The pressure surge at the moment of blasting seriously threatens the safety of pipeline structures and other buildings. This article established two numerical simulation models of the hydraulic transition process and water–air two-phase flow based on the one-dimensional transient flow theory and considering the actual flow characteristics of water and air. The hydraulic characteristics and blasting parameters of the blasting system were studied under two different conditions of the tunnel with and without the pressure flow. The observed parameters of an actual blasting engineering prototype verified the accuracy of the mathematical model. The maximum pressure of pressure blasting was 2.55 times as high as hydrostatic pressure. The maximum pressure of non-pressure blasting was 1.77 times as high as hydrostatic pressure. Pressure blasting impact was 2.17 times greater than nonpressure blasting. Discrepancies between actual and simulated data for gushing and overflow heights ranged from 9 to 14%. The model can provide a reference for blasting engineering on the simulation calculation of hydraulic characteristics such as impact pressure, overflow time, and overflow of the underwater rock plug blasting system.

Abstract This paper aims to explore the effects of a sill under a standard sluice gate on the development of the intake vortices. In total, 200 experiments were carried out. Sills with different shapes and widths were considered both numerically and experimentally. Results indicated that using a sill changes the flow depth and upstream pressure. Using a silled gate causes a decrease in the amount of air entering the fluid. By increasing the sill width, the vortex intensity reduces and this reduction is further amplified by increasing the approach discharge. The experimental findings are also compared to the results from the numerical model Flow-3D with interesting agreements.
