Accurate water demand spatial allocation for water networks modelling using a new approach
(2015)The paper presents an alternative approach regarding the spatial allocation of the actual water demand (at node level) when developing a pipe network's hydraulic simulation model. The process takes into account the respective ... -
Assessing the performance of urban water networks across the EU Mediterranean area: The paradox of high NRW levels and absence of respective reduction measures
(2013)The aim of this paper is to assess the performance level of water distribution systems (WDS) in six areas located in four Mediterranean countries, and evaluate their common characteristics. The second modification of the ... -
Basic Principles of a DSS Tool Developed to Prioritize NRW Reduction Measures in Water Pipe Networks
(2015)Non-revenue water (NRW) in urban water distribution networks is a very demanding task to handle. NRW impacts are economic (lost revenues), environmental (water and energy losses) and social (inefficient water pricing ... -
Defining the level of the Non-Revenue Water in Kozani, Greece: is it a typical case?
(2015)Water Losses in pipe networks usually represent the biggest "water use" due to the high leakage occurring. Water utilities are forced to apply effective Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction strategies, as climate change ... -
Diagnostic investigation of cases of deaths of newborn lambs
(2010)Neonatal lamb mortality, caused either by disorders of non-infectious aetiology or by pathological conditions of microbial or parasitic aetiology, is defined as the death of newborn lambs during the first 28 days of their ... -
Integrating the Carbon and Water Footprints' Costs in the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC Full Water Cost Recovery Concept: Basic Principles Towards Their Reliable Calculation and Socially Just Allocation
(2012)This paper presents the basic principles for the integration of the water and carbon footprints cost into the resource and environmental costs respectively, taking the suggestions set by the Water Framework Directive (WFD) ... -
Nitrogen and phosphorus availability to ryegrass in an acidic and limed zeolite-amended soil
(2012)Nitrogen and P fertilization increases crop yields, especially in acidic soils, but its effect may be minimized by various N loss and P retention processes. Zeolite may enhance N and P fertilizer efficiency. The aim of ... -
Results of an urban water distribution network performance evaluation attempt in Greece
(2010)The need for efficient water resources management is currently more pressing than ever, considering population growth and increased reliability requirements, under climate change conditions. On average, one-third of the ... -
Urban Water Pipe Networks Management Towards Non-Revenue Water Reduction: Two Case Studies from Greece and Turkey
(2014)Non-revenue water (NRW) accounts for water, revenues, and energy losses. NRW is a big part of the water input in the water distribution systems worldwide, exceeding even 50% in several cases around the globe. The need for ... -
Using the bimonthly water balance of a non-fully monitored water distribution network with seasonal water demand peaks to define its actual NRW level: the case of Kos town, Greece
(2014)Water losses in pipe networks are usually the biggest 'water use' due to the high leakage occurring. The need for conservative water use is today more pressing than ever due to the stressful climate change conditions, ... -
Water Pipe Networks Performance Assessment: Benchmarking Eight Cases Across the EU Mediterranean Basin
(2015)The high level of the non-revenue water (NRW: water not generating revenues) is a well-acknowledged problem water utilities are straggling with in areas facing water scarcity. High NRW values jeopardize the sustainability ...
