Towards the development of an automated electrical self-potential sensor of melt and rainwater flow in snow by Alex Priestley, Bernd Kulessa, Richard Essery, Yves Lejeune, Erwan Le Gac, Jane Blackford

“…Results for two periods of hydrological interest during winter 2018–19 (a marked period of diurnal melting and refreezing, and a rain-on-snow event) show that the electrical SP method is sensitive to internal water flow. Water flow was detected by SP signals before it was measured in conventional snowmelt lysimeters at the base of the snowpack. …”

Determinants of Evapotranspiration in Urban Rain Gardens: A Case Study with Lysimeters under Temperate Climate by Ahmeda Assann Ouédraogo, Emmanuel Berthier, Brigitte Durand, Marie-Christine Gromaire

“…Furthermore, the major determinants of ET are the existence or not of an internal water storage and the atmospheric factors. The vegetation type is a secondary determinant, with little difference between herbaceous and shrub configurations, maximum ET for spontaneous vegetation, and minimal values when vegetation was regularly removed. …”

Prediction of sediment wear of francis turbine with high head and high sediment content by Jun Pan, Jianfeng Ma, Junzhao Han, Ye Zhou, Lielong Wu, Weiliang Zhang

“…In order to accurately predict the wear of the turbine runner blade, based on the solid-liquid two-phase flow equation and turbulence model, the full channel numerical simulation of the internal water and sediment flow was carried out, and the sediment volume distribution and sand water velocity on the turbine runner blade were obtained. …”

Modernized Irrigation Technologies in West Africa by Hakan Büyükcangaz, Mohammed Alhassan, Jacqueline Nyenedio Harris

“…Information about irrigation systems in Ghana and Liberia were gathered through: 1) Irrigation development authorities in both countries, by reviewing past literatures, online publications, reports and files about irrigation in West Africa, specifically Ghana and Liberia; 2) International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI); 3) Collation of information, reports and data from Ghana Irrigation Development Authority (GIDA) and 4) International Water Management Institute (IWMI). The result shows that both countries have higher irrigation potential. …”

Stress state analysis and symmetrical optimization of double-row non-symmetrical arrangement of anchorage slot in concrete lining structure by Chun-E. Sui, Chengcheng Shi, Wenjun Yang, Dan Qiao, Qi Guo

“…During the operation period, when the backfill concrete at the anchor slot and the lining jointly bore the internal water pressure, a tensile stress of 0.89 MPa was generated in the inner anchorage slot area of the lining, which was less than the tensile strength of the concrete itself. …”

Preparation and Sustained-Release Performance of PLGA Microcapsule Carrier System by Shuaikai Ren, Chunxin Wang, Liang Guo, Congcong Xu, Yan Wang, Changjiao Sun, Haixin Cui, Xiang Zhao

“…In addition, porous microcapsules with different pore sizes were prepared by adding a varying amount of porogen bovine serum albumin (BSA) to the internal water phase. The release curve showed that the rate of protein release from the microcapsules could be controlled by adjusting the pore size. …”

International Law for Transboundary Aquifers: A Challenge for Our Times by Gabriel Eckstein

“…The lack of prioritization of groundwater in international practice and law, coupled with the reality that groundwater is “out of sight,” and thereby “out of mind,” has relegated shared aquifers as the neglected stepchildren of international water law. But, with many of the world's nations experiencing growing water scarcity and stress, this situation undoubtedly will change. …”
