Rainwater conservation in the Czech Republic
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)In the Czech Republic valid legislation (268/2009), (501/2006) demands a reduction of rainwater outflow from real estates. At present in the Czech Republic regulations for rainwater harvesting and infiltration are finalizing. ... -
Assessment of the impact of anthropogenic activities on the flow of the river Vilnia basin
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)River flow is one of the most important links of the water circulation in the nature which describes general water yield and potential water resources of a river basin. Since the range of the flow change is best illustrated ... -
Modelling the impact of small hydropower dam on sediment retention in the river Virvyte
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)The hydroelectric power plants (HPP) are a valuable source of renewable energy; however they negatively impact the environmental conditions in the river. The paper presents investigation of the ways to coordinate these ... -
Hydraulic criteria and estimation of the hydropower plant (HPP) operation impact on the river environment
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Interaction between a river and its environment is crucial, and negative impact of a HPP operation on the environment must be estimated. In order to be able to evaluate this impact, hydraulic parameters such as velocity, ... -
Sediment and nutrient retention in reservoirs of small hydro-power plants
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Dams segment river channels into dammed and undammed reaches causing both changes in the integrity of free-flow conditions and disturbance of the hydrological regime including downstream transport of both sus pended sediments ... -
Effect of disintegration pretreatment of sewage sludge for enhanced anaerobic digestion
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)A sludge disintegration technology, presented in this paper, consists of pretreatment of the sludge before its anaerobic digestion. Disintegration of sludge has been recently incorporated into the wastewater treatment ... -
Application of FT-IR for characterization of biomass isolated from surface and drinking water with high concentration of natural organic matter
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for identification of bacteria in raw and drinking water samples in which the biomass before the analyses was concentrated from about 0.4 m3 of water with crossflow ultrafiltration ... -
Flood frequency analysis of Lithuanian rivers
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Numerous hydrological data derived from water measurement stations enables us to perform direct statistical analysis of river runoff characteristics. Recently Lithuanian hydrologists pay great attention to analysis of ... -
Modelling of water supply system for the prospective factory of Coca-Cola company, Latvia
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)A hydrogeological model (HM) has been created for checking sustainability of the water supply system of the prospective factory of the CocaCola Company. The Groundwater Vistas system was used, to run HM. HM covers the 9 ... -
Impact of land drainage and natural factors on the changes of the hydrological regime of the Tatula river
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Impact of the land drainage on the river catchment in Lithuania has so far been evaluated as of rather mixed character as the impact is rather complex and multifaceted. When drainage systems are installed, the hydrographic ... -
Impact of anthropogenic activities on river water quality in the region of Lielupė river basin district
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)The article analyses sources of point and scattered pollution and their change, also change of runoff and biogenic substances in the rivers Mūša, Lėvuo, Tatula and Nemunėlis, located in a particularly sensitive karst region ... -
Changes of drainage run-off hydrological regime in glacial lacustrine clays of the karst zone
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Long-term data (1976 to 1999 and 2009) on the hydrological regime change of the drainage situated in glacial lacustrine clay loam on clay in the North Lithuanian karst zone are presented in the article. Study data shows ... -
Risk management methods in hot water distribution systems to negate health risks from microbiological contamination
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Water distribution systems are exposed to a number of risks, i.e. hazards and hazardous events that may result in bad drinking water quality. Microbiological contamination due to e.g. source water contamination, insufficient ... -
