This manuscript describes the application of a genetic algorithm model for the optimal design of regional wastewater systems comprised of transmission gravitational and pumping sewer pipelines, decentralized treatment plants, and end... more
Anaerobic digestion is an appropriate technique for the treatment of sludge before final disposal and it is employed worldwide as the oldest and most important process for sludge stabilization. In general, mesophilic anaerobic digestion... more
Floating mats are locally known as phumdis. They are a heterogeneous mass of soil, vegetation and organic matter at various stages of decomposition. Phumdis play an important role in the ecological processes and functions of the lake... more
An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict boundary shear force distributions in smooth rectangular channels and ducts. Currently the designers often obtain these values with the help of semi-empirical methods. In... more
The measurement of flows and recording of storm events at combined sewer overflows are a key requirement in effective urban pollution management. Staff of Thames Water Utilities have developed a low-cost system based on monitoring the... more
Abstract The Water Framework Directive (WFD) provides a coherent structure within which the problems of diffuse urban pollution can be effectively tackled and managed. The context of impermeable surface water quality within the terms of... more
The Deepor Beel is a natural, freshwater wetland in the south-west corner of Guwahati, India. The Beel harbours a large number of migratory aquatic birds, especially in winter, and is a Ramsar site since 2002. The wetland provides... more
In the past, river engineering works have often caused channel instability and adversely affected the river's conservation and amenity value. Recent guidelines have advocated a more natural approach to river engineering practice which... more
This paper provides a review of the treatment technologies, which utilize natural processes or passive components in wastewater treatment. In particular, this paper primarily focuses on wetland systems and their applications in wastewater... more
