(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The basic characteristics of humic substances and their negative influence on water quality and its treatment are described. The paper presents the results of removing humic substances from water from the Hriňová (Slovakia) ... -
Efficiency of removal of iron, manganese, ammonium and organic matter from groundwater
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The acceptable concentrations in groundwater are usually in excess of iron, ammonium and manganese. These compounds are inefficiently removed by means of ordinary technologies of ammonium ions, iron and manganese compounds ... -
Trend detection in precipitation data in climatic station
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Trends and changes in precipitation extremes have been a focus of research over the past decade. Observations show that changes are occurring in the amount, intensity, frequency and type of precipitation. Climate variability ... -
Impact of small hydropower plant on the biodiversity of the selected area
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Renewable energy – wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass – provides substantial benefits for our climate, our health, and our economy. Each source of renewable energy has unique benefits. Generated electricity ... -
An assessment of self-purification of regulated and natural streams
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)In these latter days it has become topical to reconsider, the technologies and practice of regulated for drainage purposes streams supervision, to find ways how to combine agricultural productivity and restore lost ecological ... -
Adsorption of diclofenac, sulfamethoxazole and levofloxacin with powdered activated carbon
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)The presence of pharmaceutical residues in the receiving waterbodies of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and in the environment has become a global concern. We can now say for certain that, having metabolised in our ... -
The influence of neogene lithology on the Šventoji river hydrologic regime
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Due to the recently increasing frequency of extreme changes in river runoff regime, scientific literature deals with the characteristics of runoff formation. Works are carried out in analyzing climate changes and a lot of ... -
