Abstract: Many cities are located at or near the confluence of streams where availability of water resources may be enhanced to sustain user needs while also posing an increased flooding risk from multiple tributaries. An accurate ...

Abstract: The bioslurping model was successfully applied to simulate the recovery efficiency of light nonaqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) in a companion remediation study. This paper carries out an advanced environmental systems ...

Abstract: The emphasis on waste reduction and recycling requirements prior to incineration and the promulgation of Good Combustion Practice (GCP) for emission control of trace organic compounds during incineration have created ...

Abstract: This study carries out a system-based assessment in search of the optimal operating strategy for light hydrocarbon recovery in a contaminated aquifer using bioslurping technology. A two-stage analytical framework involving ...

Abstract: System analysis for solid-waste management has received wide attention from both economic and environmental planners because of the complex nature of these services. This paper describes the important issues of cost-effectiveness ...

Abstract: Conventional location/allocation models for solid-waste management usually focus on economic optimization with respect to mass balance, capacity limitation, operating, and financial constraints. But the siting of important ...

Abstract: Rapid improvements in the hardware and software for geographic information system (GIS) have enhanced its potential for solving various types of engineering and management problems. This study develops a multiobjective, ...
