Welfare Improvisation from the Receiving Waters of Urban Wastewater Systems in the Context of the Water Framework Directive

Xenarios, Stefanos; Bithas, Kostas - In: Water Resources Management 23 (2009) 5, pp. 981-1000

The compliance of wastewater authorities with the Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC) although may highly contribute to a “good” ecological status in aquatic ecosystems, is alleged to require disproportionally high costs in relevance to the anticipated benefits. This is mainly due to...

Determinants of Domestic Water Use by Rural Households Without Access to Private Improved Water Sources in Benin: A Seemingly Unrelated Tobit Approach

Arouna, Aminou; Dabbert, Stephan - In: Water Resources Management 24 (2010) 7, pp. 1381-1398

This paper analyzes the determinants of domestic water use in rural areas. The focus is on households without access to private improved water sources. These households use either only free sources, only purchased sources or a combination of free and purchased sources. We also analyze...

Influence of Trend on Short Duration Design Storms

Adamowski, Jan; Adamowski, Kaz; Bougadis, John - In: Water Resources Management 24 (2010) 3, pp. 401-413

Design storms (DS) that are determined from intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relationships are required in many water resources engineering applications. Short duration DS are of particular importance in municipal applications. In this paper, linear trends were estimated for different...

Valuation of Drainage Infrastructure Improvement Under Climate Change Using Real Options

Park, Taeil; Kim, Changyoon; Kim, Hyoungkwan - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 2, pp. 445-457

Valuation of infrastructure systems under climate change is a challenging issue because climate changes constantly and the influence of climate change is hardly predictable. Serious climate change effects can often be represented by frequent heavy rainfall events and floods. In response,...

Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources and Lake Regulation in the Vuoksi Watershed in Finland

Veijalainen, Noora; Dubrovin, Tanja; Marttunen, Mika; … - In: Water Resources Management 24 (2010) 13, pp. 3437-3459

The impacts of climate change on hydrology and water resources in the Vuoksi watershed in eastern Finland were studied in order to assess the possibilities to adapt lake regulation to the projected changes. A conceptual watershed model and several climate scenarios were used to estimate the...
