Quantifying uncertainty in flood forecasting is a difficult task, given the multiple and strongly nonlinear
model components involved in such a system. Much effort has been and is being invested in
the quest of dealing ...
Since 1975, flood estimation in Ireland has generally
followed methods as outlined in the Flood Studies Report
(Natural Environment Research Council, 1975). An update
of this for conditions in the Republic of Ireland ...
Drinking-water treatment sludge (DWTS) produced at water treatment plants is an inescapable by-product and has long been treated as a waste for landfill. In this study, a series of batch adsorption tests were conducted ...
This paper summarises the findings of a study to evaluate the use in Ireland of the different flood estimation methodologies that can be applied to urban or urbanising catchments. The study, undertaken as part of the Office ...
The Water Framework Directive has been the catalyst for a considerable amount of data collection, analysis and research covering a wide range of physical and biological characteristics and involving a wide range of scientific, ...
The purpose of this study is to optimize adsorption conditions of powdered alum sludge (PAS) as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of three P-species (ortho-P, poly-P and organic-P) from wastewater using the response surface ...
The adsorption equilibrium of a wide range of phosphorus species by an aluminium-based water treatment sludge (Al-WTS) was examined in this study. Four kinds of adsorption-isotherm models, namely Langmuir, Freundlich, ...
This letter details the collective views of a number of independent researchers on the technical assessment and evaluation of environmental models and software. The purpose is to stimulate debate and initiate action that ...
This paper compares a 3-dimensional hydro-ecological model with a 2-dimensional model simulating the distribution and fate of Escherichia Coli (E.Coli) discharges from a sewage treatment plant discharging into Dublin Bay, ...
