Resilience to climate change is a complex concept, especially in metropolitan areas where diverse services and stakeholders interact. Promoting sustainable climate adaptation, a resilience assessment method focused on ...

A escassez de água doce tem aumentado mundialmente como resultado do crescimento populacional, da urbanização acelerada, da contaminação de massas de água e das açterações climáticas. A reutilização da água permite ...

The new European Urban Wastewater Treatment directive (1) addresses concerns regarding the emission of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC), such as pharmaceutical compounds and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), challenging ...

A redução da água não faturada e das perdas de água é crucial em regiões como o Algarve, que enfrentam situações de seca prolongada e de escassez hídrica cada vez mais frequentes. A região hidrográfica das Ribeiras do ...

"As afluências indevidas (AI) aos sistemas de drenagem de águas residuais, sejam caudais de águas pluviais, de infiltração ou de outras origens não domésticas, contribuem para um aumento dos custos operacionais, provocam ...
