Living with water. The Dijkenkaart of the Netherlands De Cultural Heritage Agency made an interesting digital map (in GIS) of all the dikes in the Netherlands. This was possible by using existing digital maps, but new research was necessary to make this general overview. There was discussion about the dating of dikes, because dikes can be of medieval origin, but were adjusted over time. Besides dikes, researchers find GIS and historical information on poldermills, kolks, reclamations and pumping stations. That is why this map is called ‘Living with water’, because this information can help addressing new challenges in climate adaptation strategies dealing with water. Everyone can take a look, or download the map in GIS, on www.cultureelerfgoed.nl/onderwerpen/bronnen-en-kaarten/overzicht/levenmet-water-kaart.

AbstractOne of the main challenges of water scarcity is the water consumption in the agriculture sector. Therefore, optimizing water consumption and applying an optimal management in the agriculture sector is necessary. The implementation of a participatory management of water resources in the rural areas and the creation of Water User Association (WUA) can be a successful approach towards this management. That requires the continuity of the management, the comprehensive participation of farmers, and the exploitation of water resources; however, this action needs to understand the factors affecting the behavior of consumers. Thus identifying the factors influencing farmers’ intentions towards participation in WUA is essential. The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting farmers' intentions towards participation in water user association, by theory of planned behavior (TPB). There are 21 agriculture water pumping stations active in Lorestan Province. Farmers at each agriculture water pumping stations make up a Water User Association. The population of this study consisted of all WUAs in western Iran (N = 1990), and through a proportional stratified random sampling technique farmers were selected (N = 133) from the population. Moreover, the validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of experts. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated at pre-test stage for different parts of the questionnaire ranging from 0.83 until 0.91. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 20 software. The results revealed that there were effective variables including subjective norm, attitude, and extension training courses which contributed to the importance of participation in the water management, and that the educational level of farmer was a controlled variable that could affect farmers' attitudes towards participating in Water User Association; these factors could explain 53% of farmers' participation totally.

The Cost

The low power factor in the electricity installation of Sumber Wendit 3 water pumping stations causes a bill of excess reactive energy usage or kVARh, so that the cost of using electricity becomes higher. The excess use of reactive energy can be compensated by additional investment in installing capacitor banks in the main distribution panel (MDP) Sumber Wendit 3 water pump station. Based on the data and problems, it is planned to install capacitor banks that meet the standards with a target of 0.90 and 0.95 lagging. From the results of the planning, we need 150 kVAR and 250 kVAR capacitors, with an investment value of Rp. 94,983,790 and - Rp. 120,781,210. After an investment feasibility test using the Payback Period (PP) method, it is known that for a 150 kVAR bank capacitors, the investment return is technically 2.88 months and economically is 4.01 and 3.17 months. For 250 kVAR bank capacitors, the return on investment is technically 3.66 months and economically 5.1 and 4.03 months. When compared with the economic life of the investment is 10 years, the investment of the bank capacitor installation project is very profitable and feasible to carry out

Abstract Stocking of young eel is widely practised, as a measure, to meet the management target of the EU eel recovery plan. The target of the recovery plan is to increase the escapement to 40% silver eel biomass, relative to pristine conditions. The scientific information to predict the outcome in silver eel biomass from stocking is limited and may depend on whether translocation of wild glass eel or yellow eel is used, or if the stocked eels used are yellow eel from aquaculture. We evaluated the yield from stocking two different sizes, 3 and 9 g eels from aquaculture. A professional fishery recaptured 12.7% of the 3 g and 9.4% of the 9 g eels, originally stocked. Growth rate and mortality rate were different for the two stocked sizes, favouring the small eels. Brutto yield per recruit (YPR) was 13 and 9.2 g and netto YPR was 9.8 and 0.31 g for 3 and 9 g eel, respectively. We conclude that there seems to be no advantage in using larger 9 g eels compared with small 3 g eels for stocking.

Abstract The energy overconsumption at drinking-water pumping stations creates considerable energy losses. For this reason we have developed an NNGA tool of pumping management which optimizes the consumed energy by the pumping system with respect to the hydraulic functioning conditions in the distribution tank. This tool includes two models: a forecasting model for drinking water demand based on artificial neural networks and an optimization model using genetic algorithms. The results of the NNGA tool were compared with two pumping plans: the plan based on the pumping regulation model, and the plan used by the company of water and sewage of the city of Algiers. The analysis result was done with the help of performed indicators that we have developed and which enable the evaluation and diagnosis of the energetic function's system.

The growth of urban population and subsequent expansion of the cities impose difficulties of gather a reliable water supply systems that attend the fluctuations of demand throughout the day, and their operation with appropriate hydraulic and operational parameters. The search of better routines for water pumping stations with both starting and stopping of pumps or use of variable speed devices has become increasingly common, and the motivation of this search is found in the need for energy saving. But the task is arduous and becomes fertile field for the application of modern techniques and robust optimization. Noteworthy are currently those that seek their inspiration in nature systems, such as Particle Swarm Optimization, which is based on intelligence of groups, such as schools of fish or swarms of bee. By this way, the present work aims to contribute to the topic, developing a hybrid algorithm (simulator-optimizer) for determination of optimized routines for pumping station i.e., routines that seek the best operational routine for an extended period of 24 hours.
