Velocity and Concentration Distribution of Turbidity Currents
Abstract: AbstractThis study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the velocity and concentration characteristics withinturbidity currents, focusing on detailed evaluations of the hydrodynamic and sediment transportproperties. The investigation includes separate calculations for the velocity and concentrationdistributions within the near-boundary and jet regions, allowing for an in-depth comparison betweenthese distinct flow areas. By computing dimensionless profiles of both velocity and concentration, thestudy offers a visual representation of flow behaviors and sediment patterns, which …

Advancing Circular Economy in the Water Sector: A Comprehensive Review and Assessment
Abstract: ABSTRACT The unprecedented pace of urbanization and the rapid depletion of natural resources have prompted policymakers and industry leaders to transition from the traditional linear “take-make-use-dispose” model to a more sustainable and regenerative approach known as the Circular Economy (CE). The CE model emphasizes resource conservation through strategies that prioritize reducing, reusing, recycling, and recovering resources, aiming to minimize waste and extend the lifecycle of materials within economic systems. This …

Integrated Water Management Approaches forEnhancing Sustainability in Urban Water Systems
Abstract: AbstractIntegrated Water Management (IWM) is increasingly recognized as a critical framework forachieving sustainable water use in urban, agricultural, and industrial sectors. IWM addresses theinterconnected nature of water resources and aims to optimize the entire water cycle, from source andconsumption to treatment, reuse, and disposal. This study explores the development andimplementation of IWM practices with a specific focus on the integration of advanced waterrecycling, stormwater capture, and green infrastructure solutions in …

Water Pollution by Sugar Factory Molasses: Case Study Solapur District Area from India
Abstract: AbstractIn the area of Solapur District, Maharashtra state, India, there are many sugar factories. During themanufacturing process of cane sugar, there is a lot of wastewater released from the factory. Thiswastewater contains many hazardous chemicals. This wastewater, dropped in the fields is mixed withsoil & percolated inside rocks. Every year in summer the water level in this area gets very deep. Atthat time free air fills the soil joints. After …
