26 p, 1.3 MB The decline of water consumption in Spanish cities : structural and contingent factors / Saurí i Pujol, David (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Geografia)
As cities will concentrate most of the world's population and economic activities, so urban water demand will account for a large proportion of global water demand in the future. In contrast, recent empirical evidence indicates that water consumption in many cities of the developed world is declining. [...]

22 p, 848.8 KB Beyond scarcity and its management : Sociocultural dimensions of the water crisis in the Atacama Desert / Cantillana, Raphael (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Antropologia Social i Cultural) ; Iniesta Arandia, Irene (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
The depletion of freshwater sources by indiscriminate industrial actions is one of the direct causes of the current water crisis. One of the emblematic cases of this problem is the Atacama Desert, a unique hyper-arid zone in which an extensive copper industry depletes its scarce freshwater reserves. [...]

11 p, 3.4 MB Effect of dissolved oxygen on the degradation activity and consumption capacity of white-rot fungi / Beltrán-Flores, Eduardo (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental) ; Tayar, Shamim (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental) ; Blánquez Cano, Paqui (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental) ; Sarrà i Adroguer, Montserrat (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental)
In recent decades, bioremediation using white rot fungi (WRF) has become an attractive alternative for the removal of xenobiotics from water. However, WRF are aerobic microorganisms whose degradative capacity may be reduced when operating in oxygen-restricted environments. [...]

16 p, 3.2 MB Nitrous oxide reduction in wastewater treatment plants by the regulation of the internal recirculation flow rate with a fuzzy controller / Santín López, Ignacio (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Telecomunicació i Enginyeria de Sistemes) ; Meneses Benítez, Montserrat (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions due to anthropogenic causes is one of the world's main challenges to face climate change. Wastewater treatment plants are necessary to improve the quality of wastewater before it is discharged into the receiving environment, but they have the disadvantage of generating nitrous oxide emissions during the biological treatment, which is a potent greenhouse gas.
