Tucson Water Turnaround: Crisis to Success
In the 1990s, Tucson Water changed water sources without considering the limitations of their existing distribution system or the taste and odor effects for customers. The new water caused pipe corrosion for customers, damaged the distribution system, and created a public relations nightmare. The authors’ first-hand experiences, first-person recollections, and newly unearthed records tell the ...

Solid Waste Management Policies in Kenya: The Silence on the Plight of Women and Children
Building on available evidence that there are differences of exposure to solid waste among men, women and children, it follows that effective solid waste management (SWM) policies need to recognise such variations, as a prelude to rolling out programmes to address associated socio-economic and health risks. However, this logical scenario does not seem to be the case in many middle- and low-income ...

Experimental Research on Construction-Waste-Classification Algorithms for a Hyperspectral-Camera System
A large proportion of construction waste has a high recovery value, and some of the existing recycling-classification methods rely mainly on physical properties for vibration screening. In order to effectively recover construction waste, an industrial near-infrared hyperspectral camera is proposed in this paper to distinguish the spectral characteristics of the objects. The testing results were ...

Selecting Sustainable Technologies for Municipal Solid Waste Treatment and Disposal: An Expert Based Mcdm Approach
Selection of appropriate municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment and disposal technology is a complex multi-criteria process. This paper demonstrates the reliability of the use of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework for the purpose of selecting the best MSW treatment and disposal alternatives. In this paper, a modified fuzzy Delphi-AHP-TOPSIS methodology is developed for the selection ...
