The application of Diffuse Gradients in Thin film (DGT) in static-batch experiments was tested to study the long-term release of metal(loid)s from construction materials for hydraulic engineering, for half a year.
During the last four decades, the research group led by Alessandro Santini, at the Department of Agriculture, University of Naples Federico II - Italy, has provided the scientific community with relevant contributions to various fields of hydraulic engineering for agriculture, irrigation and drainage, and agricultural water management.
In contrast, Hu Jintao, the Chinese president, graduated in hydraulic engineering from Beijing's Tsinghua University, and Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister, is a postgraduate engineer.
The piano key weir is a hydraulic engineering structure for preserving the desired water depth, free flow spillways in rivers, and protecting dam failure under unforeseen flood conditions.
This paper describes the implementation of imaged-based LSPIV in eight different environmental flow and hydraulic engineering applications for the investigation of complex configurations with and without sediment transport (bed and suspended loads).
Gate, in hydraulic engineering, movable barrier for controlling the passage of fluid through a channel or sluice.
Finally, several novel laboratory studies that combined methods from hydraulic engineering and ecotoxicology for exposure of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to simulated flood events demonstrated that associated effects, including induction of biotransformation enzymes and genotoxicity, were elevated after exposure [8, 18, 29].
Worldwide, humans have a tremendous impact on watershed ecohydrological processes for several reasons: hydraulic engineering such as building dams for generating powers, inter-basin transfers for meeting irrigation and domestic water demands, urbanization and land use change, and human population growth and rise of standard of living.
Today steel slags are well characterised and long-term experienced materials mainly used as aggregates for road construction (e.g. asphaltic or unbound layers), as armourstones for hydraulic engineering constructions (e.g. stabilisation of shores), and as fertiliser for agriculture purposes.
Bentonites and bentonite containing sealing materials are used for many years for sealing purposes in foundation, dike construction, hydraulic engineering and landfill construction, especially for encapsulation of old waste deposits.
