Pipe failures in water distribution systems can have a serious impact and hence it’s important to maintain the condition and integrity of the distribution system. Deterioration and Optimal Rehabilitation Modelling for Urban Water Distribution Systems presents a whole-life cost optimisation model for the rehabilitation of water distribution systems. It combines a pipe breakage number prediction model with a pipe criticality...

Quantitative research with respect to the combination of engineering and socio-cultural-religious aspects based on the Tri Hita Karana philosophy in Subak irrigation schemes is original in the field of land and water development. A scenario analysis needs a good and careful system approach. Based on a Generic Algorithm, the RIBASIM model was applied using the dependable 80% of discharge and...

Sediment pollution and accumulation in harbours are major environmental issues, and studies that advance their solutions are essential for harbour sustainability. Sediments in the Tema Harbour (Ghana) provides the first comprehensive assessment of chemical pollution in sediments and sediment accumulation rates in the tropical Tema Harbour (Ghana). This book contributes to improving our ability to use an integrated approach involving...
