Assessment of saltwater origin in the Rub’ al-Khali basin and its relation to the formation of sabkha Matti
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-15)The Rub’ al Khali sand sea is the largest uninterrupted sand desert on Earth that occupies an area of approximately 650,000 km2 of the Arabian Peninsula. Yet, the desert basin is underlying by one of the largest multi-level ... -
Automating Water Capital Activities Using Naïve Bayes Classifier with Supervised Learning Algorithm
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-09)Municipal governments have the responsibility to provide safe drinking water to residents. Maintaining water infrastructure systems to keep a certain level of service is a vital service. It is possible by assessing all ... -
Developing the Hydrologic Model of the Laurel Creek Watershed Including the Water Infrastructure
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Continued growth of the Canadian economy has led to an increased population, which resulted in the progressive urbanization of Canada’s watersheds. Additionally, as infrastructure ages, an increasing percentage of drinking ... -
Development of Unit Price Indices and Estimating Inflation for Potable Water and Wastewater Pipeline Capital Works Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-17)The importance of sustainable financial management of water and wastewater pipeline infrastructure has grown in recent years due to the increasing backlog of maintenance, renewal and replacement of aging water and wastewater ... -
Integrated Asset Management Framework and Model for Water Distribution Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-28)The Canadian Infrastructure Report Card (2012) estimates the replacement value of water assets to be $362 billion. Water distribution and wastewater collection networks have been in service for more than a century in the ... -
An Investigation into Water Consumption Data Using Parametric Probability Density Functions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-07)Many datasets can be expressed through the usage of frequency-based histograms that provide compact visualizations of large volumes of data. A motivating hypothesis of this work is that the relative frequency of measurements ... -
Life cycle sustainability assessment of asset management plans for municipal wastewater systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)Municipal governments have the responsibility to provide safe drinking water and handle polluted water to protect their citizen’s health and safety. Maintaining water infrastructure systems, including wastewater collection ... -
A Mechanistic Derivation of The Monod Equation For Biofilm in Porous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-20)A mechanistic derivation of the Monod bioreaction equation is presented. The numerical model developed for this derivation involves four processes. 1)On the pore scale, substrate diffuses from the bulk aqueous phase crossing ... -
Multi-Phase Multi-Component Equilibrium Flash Calculations for CompFlow Bio using Modified Volume-Translated Peng- Robinson Equation of State
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-24)Numerical modelling of fluid flow and transport in reservoir engineering problems is a challenging task, given variability and uncertainty in the physical properties of rock, the complexities of multi-fluid interaction at ... -
Numerical Modeling of Financially Sustainable Urban Wastewater Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-02)A system dynamics model first developed using the software Stella 7.0.2, which explores the complex behavior of the financially sustainable management of water distribution infrastructure, was converted here into a system ... -
The Physical Mechanisms of Microbiological Cellular Transport, Storage, and Metabolism of Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Degrading Soil Microbiota
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-01)The Monod bioreaction equation, though justified from extensive practical use, has been found to have limited mechanistic basis (Enouy, Walton, et al., 2021). To attempt to gain a biological mechanistic representation of ... -
Simulating the Impact of Methane Gas Production from the Clearwater B Formation on the Regional Groundwater Flow System
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-19)The production of natural gas from a saline aquifer will reduce the pressure regime in that aquifer to some degree. Simultaneously, this relief in pressure will causes gas to be exsolved out of the aqueous phase, which ... -
Simulating the impact of water infrastructure on groundwater and surface water within the Laurel Creek Watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)As the urbanization of the City of Waterloo, the infrastructure system expanded fast in the last couple decades. The increased population gave a higher load to the Laurel Creek Watershed. At the same time, the aged ... -
Water Demand Forecasting Model Application
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-29)Forecasting water demand requires quantifying potential relationships between relevant statistics and ambient conditions such as water price and weather. Dr Enouy (2018) demonstrates that discrete histograms can be ...
