This article presents the results from the monitoring of a system of ponds for the treatment of piggery wastes, carried out during a 20 months period, with the objective to determine design parameters for the optimization of the treatment system. A series composed of two anaerobic ponds, one facultative pond and one water hyacinth pond, gave an efficiency of 97% in the removal of BOD5, 93% for total phosphorus, 91% for total Kjeldahl nitrogen and a removal of 7 log units for fecal coliforms. A model of the optimization incurred in the treatment of these wastes was developed, within economic concepts.

Abstract. Compared to traditional methods, remote sensing (RS) technique is an efficient, fast, low-priced and effective solution in bathymetry. In this study, a linear equation was applied between field and reflectance data to achieve bathymetry map. Landsat-8 is characterized by additional visible band compared with previous Landsat bands on coastal zone application, therefore, we apply two regions of spectrum to compare the accuracy of bathymetry, Bands 1, 3, 4 and bands 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Furthermore, Logarithmic transformation also applied on both spectral regions to have bathymetry map. The coefficient obtained from reflectance and filed data was applied on Tm bands to retrieve the bathymetry of Gomishan lagoon in 2000. The results show that the second spectral region, Bands 2, 3 and 4, is highly correlated with filed data and more accurate (R2 = 0.94, RMSE = 0.35). Moreover, there is a relatively high accuracy between the retrieval of Gomishan bathymetry and the report of recent studies.

Planning for tourism destinations in order to develop collect useful policies with the aim of qualitative improvement of them has a lot of importance.Tourism destinations should have qualities to provide the conditions for attracting the tourists and accommodating them. Different aspects were considered for improving the quality of tourism destinations that one of the most important ones is the quality of tourism environment. This study evaluated the qualitative indicators of the coastal environment of Ramsar city in a field study through questionnaire tool. To this end, 304 questionnaires were distributed among coastal tourists of Ramsar city, and they were analysed after collecting data. The results of the analysis indicated that the qualitative indicators of coastal environment of Ramsar can be recognized in a specified factors. These factors are; 1. Cleanness, the quality of environment sight and social security 2.Tourism facilities 3. Recreational space and activities for families 4.Access and traffic 5.Welfare services and hospitality. There was also significant relationship between quality factors and satisfaction with tourism environment and probability of returning to the tourism destination.

The aim of the present work is to identify the expected nearshore and offshore impact of a marine energy farm that would be implemented in the coastal environment of Portugal. Several layouts of Wave Dragon devices were considered, the distance between each system being gradually adjusted. By processing 27–years of combined wave data coming from the European Space Agency and ERA5, the most relevant conditions have been identified. The centre of each farm layout was set to approximately 3.5 km from the coast, where a more significant attenuation of wave heights in the middle of the target area was noticed, which can go up to 16% in the case of extreme events. From the analysis of the longshore currents, it was noticed that even an arrow farm layout defined by five systems may have a significant impact, by changing the peak or by smoothing the currents profile. Wave energy is an emerging renewable sector that can also contribute tocoastal protection and, therefore, the Portuguese coast represents a suitable candidate for this type of project.
