Antiflooding prevention, protection, strategic environmental planning of aquatic resources and water purification: The case of Thessalian basin, in Greece
(2010)In the E.U. following the old 5th Environmental Action Program (EAP) of 1994 and the new 6th EAP for the sustainable development in 2001, we confront the strategic management problem of aquatic resources at the regional ... -
Comparing Two Hydro-Economic Approaches for Multi-Objective Agricultural Water Resources Planning
(2020)Hydro-economic models are valuable tools that can be used in irrigated agriculture in order to improve the understanding of the status quo of water resources, the role of water in agriculture, and the system behavior under ... -
Daily multivariate forecasting of water demand in a touristic island with the use of artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
(2016)Water demand forecast has emerged as an imperative component of intelligent Internet and Communication Technologies based methodologies of water management. The need of increased time resolution of forecast in order to ... -
Development of a district information system for water management planning and strategic decision making
(2015)The overall objective of this work is the development of a District Information System (DIS) which could be used by stakeholders for the purposes of a district day-to-day water management as well as for planning and strategic ... -
Estimation of crop water requirements using remote sensing for operational water resources management
(2015)An integrated modeling system, developed in the framework of "Hydromentor" research project, is applied to evaluate crop water requirements for operational water resources management at Lake Karla watershed, Greece. The ... -
Evaluation of Water Resources Management Strategies to Overturn Climate Change Impacts on Lake Karla Watershed
(2016)The effects of climate change on meteorology, hydrology and ecology have become a priority area for research and for water management. It is crucial to identify, simulate, evaluate and, finally, adopt water resources ... -
Impacts of irrigation and nitrate fertilization scenarios on groundwater resources quantity and quality of the Almyros Basin, Greece
(2021)Irrigation and nitrate fertilization scenarios were combined and simulated for crop water irrigation demands and nitrogen applications based on experiments on crop cultivation practices. Two irrigation practices (deficit ... -
Integrated Hydro-Economic Modeling for Sustainable Water Resources Management in Data-Scarce Areas: The Case of Lake Karla Watershed in Greece
(2019)Hydro-economic models can serve as valuable tools to improve the understanding of system details, as well as to support decision-making and water resources management. However, hydro-economic models are not practically ... -
Integrated Modeling of Agronomic and Water Resources Management Scenarios in a Degraded Coastal Watershed (Almyros Basin, Magnesia, Greece)
(2022)The scope of this study is to assess the effects of agronomic and water resources management scenarios on groundwater balance, seawater intrusion, and nitrate pollution and the comparison of the developed scenarios relative ... -
An integrated multicriteria analysis tool for evaluating water resource management strategies
(2018)Water is involved, directly or indirectly, with many activities and needs that have to be met. The large scale and importance of water projects, the investments needed, the difficulty in predicting the results, and the ... -
An integrated urban water management scheme: From source to tap
(2018)Urban water systems have great potential in water and energy saving. A thorough water losses component assessment can reveal this potential and drive utilities into a proper water management scheme towards a more sustainable ... -
Lca-based environmental performance of olive cultivation in northwestern greece: from rainfed to irrigated through conventional and smart crop management practices
(2021)Olive cultivation is expanding rapidly in the northwestern part of Greece, under both rainfed and irrigated practices. Irrigation can result in larger yields and economic returns, but trade-offs in the water–energy–pollution ... -
A mathematical programming approach to restore the water balance of the hydrological basin of Lake Koronia
(2013)Over the last four decades Lake Koronia, part of the Mygdonia Basin, operates under a negative water balance due to poor resource management and planning decisions. Lake Koronia is a Ramsar site in northern Greece that has ... -
A methodological framework for an easy and reliable estimation of the full cost of irrigation water
(2020)The requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60 for the full water cost recovery have brought reactions and difficulties to their implementation, especially for irrigation water. We propose a systematic and ... -
A methodology for synthetic household water consumption data generation
(2018)In the smart cities context, real-time knowledge of residential water consumption has become increasingly important, especially given the fast evolution of sensors, ICT and the production of big, high-resolution data coming ... -
Policy recommendation for drinking water supply cross-border networking in the Adriatic region
(2017)Cross-border water resources and drinking water supply management are among the basic concerns for almost all Adriatic Sea countries. Adopting measures such as developing common methodologies, tools and techniques addressing ... -
