Predicting water contamination by statistical models is a useful tool to manage health risk in recreational beaches. Extreme contamination events, i.e. those exceeding normative are generally rare with respect to bathing conditions and thus the data ...
Modeling of anaerobic digestion (AD) is crucial to better understand the process dynamics and to improve the digester performance. This is an essential yet difficult task due to the complex and unknown interactions within the system. The application ...
Controlling membrane fouling in a membrane filtration system is critical to ensure high filtration performance. A forecast of membrane fouling could enable preliminary actions to relieve the development of membrane fouling. Therefore, we established ...
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been reported to threaten the public health of beachgoers worldwide. Although ARG monitoring and beach guidelines are necessary, substantial efforts are required for ARG sampling and analysis. Accordingly, in t...
Similar to the worldwide proliferation of urbanization, micropollutants have been involved in aquatic and ecological environmental systems. These pollutants have the propensity to wreak havoc on human health and the ecological system; hence, it is im...
Assessing the hydrologic processes over scales ranging from single wetland to regional is critical to understand the hydrologically-driven ecosystem services especially nutrient buffering of wetlands. Here, we present a novel approach to quantify the...
Data-driven models are suitable for simulating biological wastewater treatment processes with complex intrinsic mechanisms. However, raw data collected in the early stage of biological experiments are normally not enough to train data-driven models. ...
Predicting recreational water quality is one of the most difficult tasks in water management with major implications for humans and society. Many data-driven models have been used to predict water quality indicators to allow a real time assessment of...
To better control and manage harbor water quality is an important mission for coastal cities such as New York City (NYC). To achieve this, managers and governors need keep track of key quality indicators, such as temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen...
Pipe bursts in water distribution networks lead to considerable water loss and pose risks of bacteria and pollutant contamination. Pipe burst localisation methods help water service providers repair the burst pipes and restore water supply timely and...
