Download or read book Pollution Hydrologique Urbaine Et Impacts written by Ndjama Josephine and published by Editions Universitaires Europeennes. This book was released on 2015-01-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La demographie galopante et l'urbanisation croissante du Cameroun posent de nombreux problemes de pollution dans les ecosystemes urbains. Cette pollution est visiblement plus accentuee dans les grandes metropoles du Cameroun ainsi que ces impacts nefastes sur l'environnement. Pour repondre a ces preoccupations, la presente recherche a ete menee dans le bassin versant de la Mgoua a Douala par une etude socio-economique, ensuite l'analyse des parametres physico-chimiques et microbiologiques des eaux et des sediments. Il apparait que la plupart des populations s'approvisionnent dans les puits. Les resultats obtenus presentent des nombreux cas de maladies hydriques ainsi que celles de la peau. Les cours d'eau et les puits sont plus pollues que les effluents. Les pollutions fecales des cours d'eau et des puits sont principalement ou entierement d'origine humaine, alors que dans les effluents, ont une origine incertaine. Les parametres physico-chimiques ont pour la plupart des teneurs tres superieures aux normes indiquees par l'OMS. La normalisation a la croute continentale superieure revele des anomalies negatives sauf, dans le puits de Tergal ou le Ni presente une anomalie positive.

Download or read book Les rivi res urbaines et leur pollution written by Laurence Lestel and published by Editions Quae. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En l’espace de deux siècles, les rivières des villes européennes sont passées du statut de réceptacle de tous les rejets urbains à celui d’un milieu vivant à intégrer à la ville. Cet ouvrage analyse ce changement à travers l’appréciation de la qualité de l’eau, les pressions humaines exercées sur les cours d’eau et l’efficacité des actions menées pour remédier à leur changement d’état. Il porte un regard interdisciplinaire, entre milieu, technique et société pour rendre compte des relations de quatre villes européennes (Berlin, Bruxelles, Milan, Paris) avec leur cours d’eau et leurs transformations depuis le XIXe siècle.

Book excerpt: Engineers and scientists working in the field of water pollution must be familiar with a wide range of issues including the physical processes of mixing and dilution, chemical and biological processes, mathematical modelling, data acquisition and measurement. Available data is scarce and it is therefore essential that there is a continuous exchange of information between specialists from different countries. Bringing together the latest research in this area, this volume contains the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Water Pollution. Over fifty papers are included and these cover topics such as: Groundwater and Aquifer Contamination; Wastewater Treatment; Lakes, Rivers and Wetlands; Coastal Areas and Seas; Biological Effects; Organic Contaminants; Agricultural Pollution; Oil Spills; Mathematical and Physical Modelling; and Experimental and Laboratory Work.

Download or read book Approaches to Water Sensitive Urban Design written by Ashok Sharma and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaches to Water Sensitive Urban Design: Potential, Design, Ecological Health, Economics, Policies and Community Perceptions covers all aspects on the implementation of sustainable storm water systems for urban and suburban areas whether they are labeled as WSUD, Low Impact Development (LID), Green Infrastructure (GI), Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) or the Sponge City Concept. These systems and approaches are becoming an integral part of developing water sensitive cities as they are considered very capable solutions in addressing issues relating to urbanization, climate change and heat island impacts in dealing with storm water issues. The book is based on research conducted in Australia and around the world, bringing in perspectives in an ecosystems approach, a water quality approach, and a sewer based approach to stormwater, all of which are uniquely covered in this single resource. Presents a holistic examination of the current knowledge on WSUD and storm water, including water quality, hydrology, social impacts, economic impacts, ecosystem health, and implementation guidelines Includes additional global approaches to WSUD, including SUDS, LID, GI and the Sponge City Concept Covers the different perspectives from Australia (ecosystem based), the USA (water quality based) and Europe (sewer based) Addresses storm water management during the civil construction stage when much of the ecological damage can be done

Download or read book Water Resources written by Shimon C. Anisfeld and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this concise introduction to water resources, Shimon Anisfeld explores the fundamental interactions between humans and water, including drinking, sanitation, irrigation, and power production. The book familiarizes students with the current water crisis and with approaches for managing this essential resource more effectively in a time of rapid environmental and social change. Anisfeld addresses both human and ecological problems, including scarcity, pollution, disease, flooding, conflicts over water, and degradation of aquatic ecosystems. In addition to providing the background necessary to understand each of these problems, the book discusses ways to move towards better management and addresses the key current debates in the water policy field. In the past, water development has often proceeded in a single-sector fashion, with each group of users implementing its own plans without coordination with other groups, resulting in both conflict and inefficiency. Now, Anisfeld writes, the challenge of water management is figuring out how to balance all the different demands for water, from sanitation to energy generation to ecosystem protection. For inquiring students of any level, Water Resources provides a comprehensive one-volume guide to a complex but vital field of study.
