Analytical studies assessing the association between extreme precipitation or temperature and drinking water-related waterborne infections: A review
(2015)Determining the role of weather in waterborne infections is a priority public health research issue as climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of extreme precipitation and temperature events. To document the ... -
Applying an integrated methodology toward non-revenue water reduction: the case of Nicosia, Cyprus
(2016)Non-Revenue Water (NRW) is one of the major issues water utilities are facing today, especially in areas with severe water scarcity conditions. The WATERLOSS-DSS, a user friendly decision support system (DSS), was developed ... -
Assessing the performance level of a water system
(2004)What should System Managers prefer? Systems that never fail or systems that remain safe during a failure? The present paper tries to give an answer to this dilemma by presenting a methodology that hierarchically analyses ... -
Assessing the results of a virtual pressure management project applied in Kos Town water distribution network
(2016)Water pressure management (PM) is one of the most cost-effective ways for a water utility to reduce water leakage, pipes’ bursts, improve the level of services provided to its customers and lower its operating expenses. ... -
Association between heavy precipitation events and waterborne outbreaks in four Nordic countries, 1992-2012
(2016)We conducted a matched case-control study to examine the association between heavy precipitation events and waterborne outbreaks (WBOs) by linking epidemiological registries and meteorological data between 1992 and 2012 ... -
Challenges in developing methods for quantifying the effects of weather and climate on water-associated diseases: A systematic review
(2017)Infectious diseases attributable to unsafe water supply, sanitation and hygiene (e.g. Cholera, Leptospirosis, Giardiasis) remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in low-income countries. Climate ... -
Cyanotoxins as the “common suspects” for the Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) deaths in a Mediterranean reconstructed reservoir
(2018)Toxic cyanobacterial blooms have been implicated for their negative consequences on many terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Water birds belong to the most common members of the freshwater food chains and are most likely ... -
Developing THMs' predictive models in two water supply systems in Greece
(2020)Disinfection is a very significant water treatment process for drinking water safety, as it inactivates pathogens from drinking water. However, disinfection-by-products (DBPs) are formed which are accused of contributing ... -
Editorial/Preface: Advances in water resources and water networks management under climate change conditions, seeking for efficiency
(2017)[No abstract available] -
Evaluation of standardized scored inspections for Legionnaires' disease prevention, during the Athens 2004 Olympics
(2006)The study was designed to determine the contribution of standardized scored inspections implemented during the Athens 2004 Pre-Olympic and Olympic period, in assessing the presence of Legionella spp. in water sites. ... -
Evidence for waterborne origin of an extended mixed gastroenteritis outbreak in a town in Northern Greece, 2019
(2020)We investigated a large gastroenteritis outbreak that occurred in Northern Greece in 2019. A case was defined as anyone presenting with diarrhoea and/or vomiting from 24/01/2019 to 04/02/2019. We conducted a case-control ... -
Expanding the use of biobeds: Degradation and adsorption of pesticides contained in effluents from seed-coating, bulb disinfestation and fruit-packaging activities
(2019)Agro-food industries that use pesticides constitute significant point sources for the contamination of natural water resources. Despite that, little is known about the treatment of their pesticide-contaminated effluents. ... -
Exploring the effectiveness of clustering algorithms for capturing water consumption behavior at household level
(2021)As water scarcity becomes more prevalent, the analysis of urban water consumption patterns at the consumer level and the estimation of the corresponding water demand for water utility are expected to be among the top ... -
First reported isolation of an emerging opportunistic pathogen (Elizabethkingia anophelis) from hospital water systems in Greece
(2018)After the Elizabethkingia anophelis outbreak in Wisconsin, USA, an active search for the detection of the microorganism in hospital water systems from Central and Northern Greece was performed from June to December 2016. ... -
Identification of Suitable Locations in a Small Water Supply Network for the Placement of Water Quality Sensors Based on Different Criteria under Demand-Driven Conditions
(2022)Drinking water quality monitoring in real time is of utmost importance to ensure public health. Although water utilities, following the related legislative framework, monitor drinking water quality through samplings, the ... -
Irrigation of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) with microcystin-enriched water holds low risk for plants and their associated rhizopheric and epiphytic microbiome
(2020)Microcystins (MCs) are toxins produced during cyanobacterial blooms. They reach soil and translocated to plants through irrigation of agricultural land with water from MC-impacted freshwater systems. To date we have good ... -
The joint effect of water price changes and pressure management, at the economic annual real losses level, on the system input volume of a water distribution system
(2015)This study attempts to examine the factors affecting the residential water demand level in the city of Kozani in Greece. Based on an 8-year (2005-12) detailed sample of residential water demand panel data, the values of ... -
Legionella colonization of hotel water systems in touristic places of Greece: association with system characteristics and physicochemical parameters
(2018)This study aimed to assess the colonization of hotel water systems in central Greece and Corfu by Legionella, and to investigate the association between physicochemical parameters and Legionella colonization. Standardized ... -
