Aguilera Becker, Rosana (Data de defensa: 2015-03-10)
This work investigated the effect of global change phenomena, particularly land use and climatic changes, on water quality patterns in Mediterranean rivers. A hybrid process-based and statistical model (SPARROW) was applied ...
Sergienko, Natalia (Data de defensa: 2021-10-13)
Formation of hydrogen sulfide represents a major challenge in the operation of wastewater collection systems. Hydrogen sulfide is malodourous and toxic gas, which causes corrosion of pipes, wells, and constructions, hence ...
Duinslaeger, Nick (Data de defensa: 2024-06-04)
The ubiquitous presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic environments has emerged as a global concern. PFAS are a group of thousands of human-made chemicals that have been a staple in hundreds of ...
Kassotaki, Elissavet (Data de defensa: 2018-09-07)
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can pose a significant risk to the environment and human health, undermining prosperity. Current wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) cannot ...
Sbardella, Luca (Data de defensa: 2019-05-22)
The presence of several pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in water bodies has garnered increasing attention and worldwide concern. The effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the main sources ...
Compte Port, Sergi (Data de defensa: 2018-07-03)
Archaea are abundant in extreme environments but they are also a prevalent component of microbial communities in soils, marine or freshwater plankton and sediments. Many studies highlighted the prominent role of marine ...
Mor Roy, Jordi-René (Data de defensa: 2019-09-19)
Mediterranean rivers are characterized by high hydrological variability and heterogeneity of habitats, placing themselves amongst arid and temperate climates, and are associated with high biological diversity. On the ...
Llanos Paez, Oriana Lucia (Data de defensa: 2024-02-07)
Non-perennial rivers and streams are defined as systems that cease to flow at some point in space and time along their course. These systems are widespread globally representing more than half of the global river network, ...
Rodríguez-Caballero, Adrián (Data de defensa: 2015-03-20)
The exponential increase of the atmospheric concentration of green-house gases due to human activities is responsible for the acceleration of global warming and climate change. Recently, scientific studies have pointed ...
Ribera Guàrdia, Anna (Data de defensa: 2017-12-12)
This thesis focuses on the study of the global green house gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater systems. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are the main GHG directly emitted from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). In ...
Subirats Medina, Jessica (Data de defensa: 2018-07-24)
This Thesis demonstrates that microorganisms derived from wastewater are the 2/2 main contributors to antibiotic resistance (AR) in the environment. Once there, the background chemical contamination with antibiotic ...
Aymerich Blazquez, Ignasi (Data de defensa: 2019-01-22)
For a long time, there has been a need and an ambition to better understand the behavior of integrated systems by considering the whole urban water cycle, including wastewater transportation, wastewater treatment and the ...
Sauchelli Toran, Marc (Data de defensa: 2019-07-18)
Forward osmosis (FO) is known to be particularly efficient at treating impaired water sources with a high fouling potential. In the context of water reuse FO is being introduced as a robust pre-treatment process, usually ...
Romero Blanch, Ferran (Data de defensa: 2019-12-20)
Human exploitation of river ecosystems, together with the increasing pressure that represents climate change, is posing rivers worldwide at risk. In rivers, microorganisms are ecologically very important. Most of ...
Jaén Gil, Adrián (Data de defensa: 2021-05-28)
The low efficiency of wastewater treatment plants to achieve the complete removal of micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals, has motivated the development of alternative water technologies to improve their efficiency, ...
Juan García, Pau (Data de defensa: 2019-02-04)
The water sector is entering a period of uncertainty, as stressors such as climate change pose unknown risks to its infrastructure. Utilities need to build resilience to handle unpredictable changes, but the field of ...
Timoner Amer, Xisca (Data de defensa: 2014-05-05)
Streams experiencing a recurrent non-flow phase (i.e., flow intermittency) are characteristic of world regions with arid and semi-arid climates, where Mediterranean regions are part of. During non-flow streambed sediments, ...
Auguet Horta, Olga (Data de defensa: 2016-07-13)
Sewer systems transport wastewater from its source to treatment plants. During this transport, wastewater microorganisms colonize pipe walls and develop biofilms. The activity of microbial communities generates sulfide ...
Čelić, Mira (Data de defensa: 2020-12-15)
The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of wastewater discharges on receiving riverine and coastal ecosystems by studying the occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants (ECs). Since there is a myriad ...
Montserrat Royuela, Albert (Data de defensa: 2015-07-03)
In combined sewer systems (CSS) wastewater and stormwater flow through the same pipes. During severe rain episodes, the excess combined flow of untreated wastewater and stormwater is released out from the system through ...
