International Legal Approaches to Waste Water Discharges. Opening speech

2002

En este discurso inaugural, realizo una introducción a la frustrante situación jurídica en la que se encuentran las descargas de aguas residuales a nivel internacional. Las descargas de aguas residuales son la mayor fuente de contaminación marina y, en consecuencia, ellas representan el mayor riesgo actual para la protección del medio ambiente marino. In this opening speech, I make an introduction to the disappointing legal situation of waste water discharges at international level. Waste water discharges is the main source of marine pollution and, therefore, they represent the major current risk to the protection of the marine environment.

New-stage discharge relationship for weirs of finite crest lenght

2014

AbstractThe flow process of weirs of finite crest length is analyzed on the basis of the dimensional analysis and incomplete self-similarity theory. The crest length is incorporated in the functional stage-discharge relationship for weirs of finite crest length. The theoretically deduced stage-discharge formula was then calibrated using the experimental data compiled in this research. According to the current experimental data it is also concluded that the performance of the proposed stage-discharge formula is better than the previous dimensional stage-discharge formulae. Also, the proposed stage-discharge formula is applicable for all types of the weirs, i.e., long-crested, broad-crested, …

Influence of Site and Check Dam Characteristics on Sediment Retention and Structure Conservation in a Mexican River

2020

Previously, in a large river of Mexico regulated by more than 200 check dams, we demonstrated that vegetation cover and channel characteristics were the dominant factors on the structure conditions and capacity to store sediments. This study focuses on other categorical (i.e., check dam type and location, soil texture and land use) and numerical (i.e. water discharge, check dam dimensions) variables, to whom statistical analysis is applied, in order to assess their influence on sediment filling degree and conditions (functional or destroyed) of the check dams in the same river. ANOVA has shown that: (i) check dam type (gabion or stone) and location (headwater, middle or valley reaches), and…

Isotope distribution of dissolved carbonate species in southeastern coastal aquifers of Sicily (Italy)

2007

Concentrations of major ions and the δ13C composition of dissolved inorganic carbon in groundwater and submarine groundwater discharges in the area between Siracusa and Ragusa provinces, southeastern Sicily, representing coastal carbonate aquifers, are presented and discussed. Most of groundwater analysed belongs to calcium bicarbonate type, in agreement with the geological nature of carbonate host rocks. Carbonate groundwater acquires, besides the dissolution of carbonate minerals, dissolved carbon (and the relative isotopic composition) from the atmosphere and from soil biological activity. In fact, δ13C values and total dissolved inorganic carbon contents show that both these sources con…
