Abstract:

The urban water structure is aging and in need of rehabilitation. Further, the need to address future challenges (climate change, urban development) also arise lines. This study investigates if it is possible to combine rehabilitation and adaptation measures. To do so, we combined an urban development model, an urban drainage model and a rehabilitation model. A case study of a medium-sized alpine city with a sewer length of 228 km and a population of 125,431 was used to develop and apply this method. A priority model to pinpoint the structures in need of replacement was used. This model considered a deterioration model, vulnerability estimation and other influences. Further different rehabilitation rates and methods were examined. The urban development model used is a simplistic approach specifically tailored for the field of urban infrastructure management. Climate change is considered in terms of climate change factors. All these different influences together create scenarios for which the construction costs and the flooding volume are estimated and compared. Consequently the aim of this paper was to test to which degree it is possible to reduce urban flooding by adapting those parts of the network which require rehabilitation anyway. In our case study it could be reduced by 5%.

Abstract:

In The Netherlands, projects have been started by the government concerning ecological rehabilitation of rivers and river floodplains. Hydrological, morphological and ecological models are indispensable tools to river basin management. In this paper a cluster of models is presented which have been used to predict and assess the effectivity of measures on improving the environmental quality and the ecological rehabilitation of the floodplains. The cluster of models consists of a simulation model for riparian vegetation development, habitat suitability evaluation models and an expert system concerning the contamination of river habitats and its ecological impact. This approach will result in an integrated ecological, environmental and water management in order to realize the ecological objectives for the rivers in The Netherlands.

Abstract:

Introduction. Manzherok Lake is the only habitat of the Red Book endemic water chestnut (Trapa pectinata) in the Altai Republic. In the second half of the 20th century, its catchment area underwent significant anthropogenic transformations, increasing the degradation of the lake ecosystem. To stabilize the state of the reservoir, in 2017–2018, its central part was cleared of the bottom silt (sapropels). Methods. In 2019–2020, as part of monitoring the state of the lake’s water area, 11 rounds of water testing were conducted at six points on two profiles. In total, we collected 72 water samples and studied their chemical composition and, partially, microbiological parameters. The suspended matter content, turbidity and oxidability of water were determined on an ongoing basis. Results. We identified a trend for a consistent decrease in the content of suspended particles and other indicators of the ecological state of water. The forecast for 2020 to improve the quality of lake water was confirmed. We also revealed other positive changes in the ecological state of Manzherok Lake after its clearing. Conclusion. We determined features of lake ecosystem self-restoration after rehabilitation and made a forecast regarding the preservation of positive trends in the restoration of water quality for the next 1–2 years. It is shown that the lake clearing of the bottom silt did not solve the problem of its rehabilitation to the full.

Abstract:

Barrow Island, off the north-west coast of Western Australia, was declared a Class 'A' Nature Reserve for the protection of flora and fauna in 1908. Since 1963, West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited (WAPET) has conducted oil exploration and production operations on the island, producing over 235 million barrels of oil. The fact that the introduction of exotic plants and animals has been prevented and the island's full suite of native species remains intact is due to a rigorous environmental program. In developing and refining that management program over the past 25 years, WAPET has pioneered environmental management and rehabilitation techniques. In 1988-89, WAPET carried out a comprehensive review and audit of its management procedures to satisfy itself that its operations continued to meet the high environmental standards expected of our industry. The review critically examined the impacts of operational procedures including seismic exploration, gravel extraction, quarantine, rehabilitation and workforce education to determine the effect of the operations on the conservation values of Barrow Island. The Barrow Island operation demonstrates that with proper management and planning, development and conservation are not incompatible.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The Health & Safety Executive Indicator Tool (HSE-IT) is a standard-based questionnaire commonly used to assess work-related stress in organizations. Although the HSE-IT validity has been well documented and significant relationships have been observed between its scales and several work-related outcomes, to date there is no evidence concerning the relationships between the HSE-IT and burnout among healthcare workers. Aims To investigate the relationships between the HSE-IT subscales and burnout dimensions as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) in a sample of Italian rehabilitation professionals employed in healthcare institutions. Methods An anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to a sample of Italian rehabilitation professionals including physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychiatric rehabilitation technicians and developmental psychomotor therapists. Associations between the HSE-IT and the MBI were analysed with multiple linear regression models. Results A total of 432 rehabilitation professionals completed the questionnaire and 14% of them showed high levels of burnout risk. Significant differences in the HSE-IT scores were found between workers at high risk of burnout and workers at low risk of burnout. Hierarchical regressions showed an association between the HSE-IT scales and the MBI factors: emotional exhaustion was associated with ‘demands’ and ‘role’, and both depersonalization and personal accomplishment were associated with ‘control’ and ‘role’. Conclusions This preliminary study showed the HSE-IT subscales are sensitive to burnout risk as measured by the MBI. The association found between the HSE-IT ‘demands’, ‘role’ and ‘control’ subscales and the MBI dimensions is significant but small. These findings might inform targeted burnout prevention.

Abstract:

Abstract Increases in wilderness and backcountry recreational use have resulted in significant environmental impacts that are requiring more intensive visitor and resource management by the managing agencies. Resource impacts in the nation's most highly used wilderness, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, have been reduced through the implementation of a designated site camping policy in the early 1970s. The number and location of sites are matched to visitor numbers and use patterns by a travel model developed from visitor trip records. Recently, a campsite rehabilitation program has been extended to campsites currently in use in an effort to restore natural conditions and prevent impacts from reaching unacceptable levels. This has been accomplished through the use of native materials and plant species to reduce both the area and the extent of impact at each campsite. North. J. Appl. For. 4:7-10, Mar. 1987.

Abstract:

The present article illustrates the efforts made by HZL in managing psycho-sociological consequences of displacement on people and subsequent rehabilitation of Rampura Augucha Village, displaced under one of its development projects. An attempt has been made to present the case with the help of the Rehabilitation Model suggested by the author (Singh, 1996). It critically examines achievements made and weaknesses and gaps in the implementation effort. HZL pursued the Project as a planned change effort, designed and implemented appropriate preparedness measures and managing strategies to a great extent. In spite of these sincere efforts, the project suffered from serious limitations such as lack of communication strategy for creating awareness among people about displacement, lack of advance detailed planning resulting in long negotiations period for compensation package, lack of clear-cut responsibilities for maintenance of services and lack of environmental impact assessment resulting in environmental pollution problems. The management of the process highlighted the need for having a national policy on rehabilitation to provide guidelines for its effective management.

Abstract:

This paper presents a tool for managing inoperative mines under the responsibility of the Mine Closure and Projects Management/Ferrous Planning and Development Department - Vale S.A., Brazil. Inoperative mines are defined as mines where mining operations are temporarily suspended and there is no definitive strategy regarding their closure. The main management challenges are to: (i) act in a variety of environments and conditions based on action priorities; (ii) identify the main company's image risks; (iii) plan for maintenance and monitoring; (iv) take care of environmental conditions of the sites and follow up audit recommendations; (v) coordinate the field operations and site rehabilitation; (vi) re-evaluate the rehabilitation performance of the site over time, (vii) support the mine closure team. The tool is based on the consolidation of field information through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the environmental risks and quality of each mine. These analyses support the decision-making process and the prioritisation of action to be taken. The tool provides a performance evaluation of the sites, allowing evaluation over time of the maintenance and rehabilitation actions carried out. The input for the tool consists of primary and secondary data (geotechnical and environmental) collected during fieldwork, which is then processed in spreadsheets. These assign prioritisation values based on two main themes: environmental risk and quality. Each of these themes has specific groups of subjects. The prioritization spreadsheet generates thematic maps that present the classification of the mine areas and the action priorities. The tool output is an action plan that guides management, considering all the structures of each site under its responsibility.

Full text

Abstract:

Traditionally the requirement for meeting environmental liability obligations for regulated activities has focused on financial security. A single or blanket bond covering many licenses of an operator is often used to cover a state’s financial exposure to the environmental liabilities from disclaimed licenses in the event of operator insolvency. Less attention has been given to changes in regulated activities, operator risk and market changes, and management of wells over the life cycle. The Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) in South Australia has revised its policy for managing the environmental liabilities from petroleum and geothermal activities to be more holistic, risk and evidence based. Operators are now required to account for the status of all licensed activities in annual reporting, or for any change in ownership. Wells and infrastructure that have not been in production for over 24 months require an assessment based on prescribed future use criteria. If a future use can be demonstrated with sufficient evidence, the activity is categorised as ‘inactive’. Inactive wells are subject to an annual fee that finances the rehabilitation of legacy wells that may become orphan. If no future use is established, the activity is categorised as ‘expired’, and a rehabilitation plan of a minimum number of wells, or equivalent expenditure on infrastructure rehabilitation, is required. DEM also review the inventory of licensed activities and financial capacity of operators to meet environmental rehabilitation obligations to determine the amount of financial security required. This approach allows for risk-based financial security commensurate with regulated activities.

Abstract:

In 1992 the Hungarian Ministry of Transport, Communication and Water and the Ministry of Environment and Regional Policy, sponsored by the Dutch Government, commissioned a combination of Dutch and Hungarian institutes to execute a study into the possibilities for the rehabilitation of the Gemenc floodplain. It was agreed that the study would focus on the water -management of the area, but nevertheless take into account the wider scope of other management areas and interests such as the forestry, hunting, fisheries and recreation as well. The study used a policy analysis approach for formulating and analyzing three different alternatives. The results showed that rehabilitation of the Gemenc area has a good perspective, especially when the most promising elements from each of the alternatives are combined.

Full text

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT: The health and economic costs associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP) have increased substantially over the past few decades. Despite extensive research, a consistently valid, reliable and effective diagnostic and treatment regime for CLBP is yet to be determined. ASSESSMENT OF PROBLEM: This paper presents an established interdisciplinary rehabilitation model for CLBP initially developed by the Canadian Back Institute. An audit describes the symptomatic, functional and vocational outcomes achieved for patients who attended the programme over three years throughout a national network of primary health care facilities in New Zealand. RESULTS: Over a three-year period, 899 patients with CLBP completed their rehabilitation programme at one of eight affiliated clinics. Of the 899 patients discharged, 780 (86.8%) reported that their back pain had gone or reduced at the end of their rehabilitation. There was a statistically significant, and clinically relevant, improvement in both average pain and subjective functional scores from baseline assessment levels to discharge and follow-up scores (p<0.001). STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVEMENT: Previous studies have shown that functional rehabilitation can improve outcomes in individuals with CLBP. This audit provides further support for the development of interdisciplinary functional rehabilitation programmes to help manage CLBP within the community. LESSONS: The routine measurement of symptomatic, functional and vocational outcomes throughout the rehabilitation process can assist in quantifying the effect of treatment and providing evidence of value for patients, stakeholders and funding groups. KEYWORDS: Low back pain; outcomes; rehabilitation

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjectives:More than 80% of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases are mild or moderate. In this study, a risk model was developed for predicting rehabilitation duration (the time from hospital admission to discharge) of the mild-moderate COVID-19 cases and was used to conduct refined risk management for different risk populations.Methods:A total of 90 consecutive patients with mild-moderate COVID-19 were enrolled. Large-scale datasets were extracted from clinical practices. Through the multivariable linear regression analysis, the model was based on significant risk factors and was developed for predicting the rehabilitation duration of mild-moderate cases of COVID-19. To assess the local epidemic situation, risk management was conducted by weighing the risk of populations at different risk.Results:Ten risk factors from 44 high-dimensional clinical datasets were significantly correlated to rehabilitation duration (P < 0.05). Among these factors, 5 risk predictors were incorporated into a risk model. Individual rehabilitation durations were effectively calculated. Weighing the local epidemic situation, threshold probability was classified for low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk. Using this classification, risk management was based on a treatment flowchart tailored for clinical decision-making.Conclusions:The proposed novel model is a useful tool for individualized risk management of mild-moderate COVID-19 cases, and it may readily facilitate dynamic clinical decision-making for different risk populations.

Abstract:

Forest rehabilitation in Meru Betiri National Park is the main point in environmental sustainability. Forest land rehabilitation activities include breeding ecosystems for security in the forest. The method of determining the research area is done intentionally (purposive method) and the research method uses a qualitative approach. Determination of informants is done by snowball sampling method. The data collection method was carried out by observation, interview and document study and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analysis method. The results showed that social relations that occur in the management of rehabilitation have 2 forms of domains, namely 1) interpersonal domains that can be seen with communal relations, collegial relations and hirearkis relations. Judging from its power relations are divided into symmetrical and asymmetrical relationships. Symmetrical relationship occurs between rehab land farmers where rehab land farmers have an equal position can be seen from daily relationships and friendly relations in managing rehabilitation land. Asymmetrical relationship that occurs in the rehabilitation of land management occurs between the TNMB and farmers of the rehabilitation land where the TNMB party has the highest authority in the management of rehabilitation land.

Abstract:

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is defined as an interruption of enamel formation due to genetic inheritance. To prevent malfunction of the masticatory system and an unaesthetic appearance, various treatment options are described. While restoration with a compomer in the anterior region and stainless steel crowns in the posterior region is recommended for deciduous dentition, the challenges when treating such structural defects in mixed or permanent dentition are changing teeth and growing jaw, allowing only temporary restoration. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate oral rehabilitation from mixed to permanent dentition. The dentition of a 7-year-old patient with AI type I and a 12-year-old patient with AI type II was restored under general anesthesia to improve their poor aesthetics and increase vertical dimension, which are related to problems with self-confidence and reduced oral health quality of life. These two cases show the complexity of dental care for structural anomalies of genetic origin and the challenges in rehabilitating the different phases of dentition.

Abstract:

Vocational rehabilitation services have been implemented in a number of countries to facilitate the return to work of sick and injured workers, yet little research has been undertaken to document competencies required to provide services globally. This study compared the job tasks, functions, and knowledge domains deemed important by Australian and German rehabilitation professionals working in vocational rehabilitation settings to identify common practice domains. An online survey comprising items from the Rehabilitation Skills Inventory–Amended and the International Survey of Disability Management was completed by 149 Australian and 217 German rehabilitation professionals. Items from each measure were submitted to factor analysis, using principal axis factoring as the extraction technique. Three common domains were identified: (a) vocational counseling, (b) workplace disability case management, and (c) workplace intervention and program management. Differences in skill and knowledge domains centered on the levels of specialization in vocational rehabilitation practices in each country. Ongoing transnational research is required to ensure that a “global curriculum” covers core competencies, while at the same time allowing for specialization at a local level.

Abstract:

In the USA, the Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP) has become a standard approach for impact assessment and evaluation of measures and management activities causing changes in the environmental conditions of the habitats for fauna species. Recently, the method was implemented in The Netherlands. HEP is used to predict the ecological impact of measures and management activities concerning the ecological rehabilitation of rivers, tidal wetlands, lakes and marshes. For more than 30 fauna species the habitat requirements and preferences have been modelled. Examples of species-habitat relationships are presented. First results of the application of the method in ecological rehabilitation projects of rivers, lakes and marshes are presented. The results show that the HEP approach is a useful tool in ecological water management.

Abstract:

Wastewater pipeline leakage is an emerging concern in Europe, especially with regards to the potential effect of leaking effluent on groundwater contamination and the effects infiltration has on the management of sewer reticulation systems. This paper describes efforts by Australia, in association with several European partners, towards the development of decision support tools to prioritize proactive rehabilitation of wastewater pipe networks to account for leakage. In the fundamental models for the decision support system, leakage is viewed as a function of pipeline system deterioration. The models rely on soil type identification across the service area to determine the aggressiveness of the pipe environment and for division of the area into zones based on pipe properties and operational conditions. By understanding the interaction between pipe materials, operating conditions, and the pipe environment in the mechanisms leading to pipe deterioration, the models allow the prediction of leakage rates in different zones across a network. The decision support system utilizes these models to predict the condition of pipes in individual zones, and to optimize the utilization of rehabilitation resources by targeting the areas with the highest leakage rates.

Abstract:

Policy discourses urging environmental rehabilitation, and rapid agricultural intensification for food self-sufficiency are firmly entrenched in Ethiopia. This paper examines the actor-networks and key policy spaces associated with the establishment of these discourses, taking natural resource management policies, and institutionalisation of the SG-2000 extension programme as case studies. An emergent, and potentially challenging, participatory natural resource management discourse is also identified. Contrasting the regions of Tigray and the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region (SNNPR), the paper concludes by arguing that, with decentralisation, differences between regional administrative and political cultures are key to policy processes, affecting the degree to which central policies reflect local concerns.

Abstract:

Rational nature management includes assessment and compensation of environmental damage to the owner of natural resources, which is possible only within the updated three-dimensional boundaries of its infliction. Objects of past environmental damage at the regional and municipal levels prevail, the risks and impacts of which are poorly studied and carry the potential of local secondary negative impact. The article analyzes the issues of rationality of nature management during the accumulation of past environmental damage. Attention is drawn to the paragenetic nature of the economic and environmental components of the degradation of biosphere objects, where the suffering party is not a cadastral land plot, but a changing ecosystem, which in the concept of sustainable development is the main object of management. However, past environmental damage is often characterized only as a payment for pollution and lost natural resources, which is not enough to prevent or eliminate it. The use of a risk assessment model for the development of specific microflora at sites of past environmental damage under conditions of a long cycle of soil resistance makes it possible to formulate effective solutions to stimulate the self-healing of zonal geosystems, including the neutralization of heterogeneous waste water disposal systems from heavy metals.The interrelation of natural-economic systems and the damage caused by them, their interaction with the economy and the environment at the municipal level are discussed. Rational use of natural resources in these conditions often develops with a conflict of interests between the agrarian and mining complexes.The article outlines the main directions of the systemic fight against objects of past environmental damage at the most massive (municipal) level. The connection of municipal resources to the elimination of objects of past environmental damage will optimize the ecological renovation of territories. The methodology for the rehabilitation of technogenic geosystems, including standard remediation solutions, is only a tactical means of eliminating objects of past environmental damage. The strategy of truly rational nature management consists in the development and implementation of the Concept of preventive prevention of the formation of objects of past environmental damage. Typical measures for the rehabilitation of land resources of natural and economic systems are aimed at increasing their market value, providing in general an increase in the natural potential of disturbed territories. The proposed recommendations affect not only compensation for harm, but also the motivation to stimulate the elimination of objects of past environmental damage. The originality of the author’s solution to the problem of past environmental damage consists in assessing the accumulated environmental damage only within the changed part of the geosystem, and not within the entire considered cadastral site.

Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is impacted by exposure to environmental contaminants. Improving health literacy on this topic might help to optimize health outcomes. We aimed to design and deliver a health-education session about the impact of environmental contaminants on respiratory symptoms and explore participants’ perceptions on such session. Patients with COPD were recruited from a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program. Two focus groups were first conducted to explore knowledge amongst the group. Then, the session was designed and delivered, and three focus groups were conducted to obtain feedback from participants. Data were analyzed thematically by two independent researchers. Thirty-one patients (71 ± 8 years old, FEV1 = 47.6 ± 16.8% predicted; 74.2% male) were included. Prior to the session, participants recognized the importance of this topic and described avoidance strategies to deal with symptom triggering due to air pollution. After the session, participants had their knowledge validated, kept some avoidance strategies, but also adapted some “unavoidable” activities of daily living. Patients with COPD value education on this topic, and PR offers a friendly environment to discuss prevention and management strategies. Contents of the session are provided to help deliver these sessions. Future studies could investigate the effectiveness of this intervention on self-management and exacerbations of COPD.

Abstract:

Transportation infrastructure is one of the largest consumers of natural materials. To improve the environmental quality and sustainable development of transportation infrastructure, it is important to implement sustainable strategies in pavement construction and rehabilitation. The use of recycled materials is a key element in generating sustainable pavement designs to save natural resources, reduce energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and costs. The objective of this study was to propose a methodology for assessing the environmental and economic life-cycle benefits when using recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in highway projects. Previous studies on life cycle analysis (LCA) using RAP focused on the economics and/or environmental impacts during the material production process. Thus, there is a need to consider sustainability analysis at all stages of construction and rehabilitation during the performance period of pavement structures. This study addresses this need with the proposed methodology. The suggested approach could be potentially implemented in a pavement management system (PMS) so as to introduce sustainability principles in optimizing alternative rehabilitation strategies. The methodology includes various steps for the analysis, starting with condition assessment of the existing highway, identifying alternative structural pavement designs, predicting service life, setting up alternative rehabilitation strategies, and conducting life cycle environmental and economic analysis. To demonstrate the value of the methodology, a comparative parametric study was conducted on two real case study projects representing actual field conditions for primary roads in Maryland. These case studies were used in order to quantify the economic savings and environmental benefits of using different levels of RAP in highway rehabilitation. The results of the analysis indicate that incorporating RAP in pavement rehabilitation can contribute substantially to cost savings and environmental impact reduction (e.g., greenhouse gas emission, energy, water, and hazardous waste). The benefits illustrated in this study are expected to encourage wide adoption of the proposed methodology and the use of recycled materials in highway construction and rehabilitation. The methodology is transferable where similar materials and highway construction techniques are used.

Abstract:

An international survey of urban stormwater management (SWM) practice was conducted for IWA and produced contributions from 18 countries. The survey information was further expanded by a review of recent literature and summarised in this international report on SWM. The main findings of the survey include clear indications of a widespread interest in stormwater management and of the acceptance of a holistic approach to SWM promoting sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS). Specific implications of this philosophy include emphasis on source controls in SWM, transition from traditional “hard” infrastructures (drain pipes) to green infrastructures, needs for infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation, formation of stormwater agencies (within larger integrated water agencies) with participation of both public and private sectors, and sustainable funding through drainage fees rather than general taxes. Further progress in this field requires targeted research and development, knowledge sharing, and above all, a high level of public participation in planning, implementing and operating stormwater management systems.

Abstract:

The condition of sewer pipes in North America has severely deteriorated, over the last few decades, creating a need for rehabilitation. Sewer rehabilitation methods are numerous and are constantly being developed, benefiting from emerging technologies. The implementation of these methods is driven by the need to improve quality and to reduce cost and project duration. One of the rapidly expanding fields in the sewer rehabilitation industry is trenchless technology. Due to the large number of methods associated with emerging new technologies in this field, selecting the most suitable method can be a challenging task. Selection in this environment, without a computerized tool, may also suffer from the limited knowledge and (or) experience of the decision-maker and could result in overlooking some of the suitable methods that could do the job at less cost. This paper describes a recently developed system for rehabilitation of concrete and clay sewer pipes and focuses primarily on two of its components: (i) the database management system (DBMS) and (ii) the decision support system (DSS). The system can assist municipal engineers and contractors in selecting the most suitable trenchless rehabilitation technique that specifies job conditions and user requirements. An example application is presented to demonstrate the use and capabilities of the developed system.Key words: pipe defects, rehabilitation, sewer pipes, database management systems, decision support systems, multi-attribute utility theory.

The problems which led to concern over the state of sewers within the UK in the 1970s are described together with the strategies and methodologies which were developed to allow cost-effective rehabilitation. The current approach is illustrated by reference to practice in two regional water authorities - North West Water and Severn Trent Water. Considerable benefits have accrued from considering entire pipework systems and dealing concurrently with structural, hydraulic and water quality problems. Effort in the future will concentrate on refining the existing methodology and improving business management by developing better measures of levels of service and information systems

Abstract:

This report describes the successful rehabilitation of two species of pelagic seabirds (Macronectes halli and Macronectes giganteus) rescued on the southern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and taken to the IPeC rehabilitation center (S25°023258 W-47°928737). Data on the enclosures, diet, clinical management and laboratory tests were detailed during the 75 d of treatment, during which the birds remained at the center. This report demonstrates that a combination of environmental and nutritional management with a proper diagnosis and adequate clinical treatment naturally lead to a shorter period in captivity, which is crucial to the successful rehabilitation of these birds. The enclosures should have visual isolation and animals kept separate from other birds. The form of offering food differs based on the feeding habits and taxon. At the time of release back into the wild, the site chosen should be isolated to enable the bird to feel more secure when taking flight. The present report describes the first record of the rehabilitation and release of these two species in Brazil.

Abstract:

The ecological restoration of surface water flows requires the use of complex GIS and hydrological models. The HEC -RAS and MIKE11 programs calculate the hydraulic characteristics of runoff using the geometry and bed resistance the of flows. The presentation of some possible applications made through an example of the Berettyó, which is an extremely regulated river. The river belongs to the meandering category by Parker's classification system, which uses the relationship of the slope-Froude number and the depth- width ratio. Three coefficient of the four determining factor (entrenchment ratio, slope of water level, width-depth ratio) also indicates a mediocre to high sinuosity, while the river regulations established nearly straight bed-line. The standard water flow rates and characteristics have been determined based on the modeled Froude and Reynolds numbers. The flow conditions shifted to the laminar type by the changed line drawing which is ecologically lower status. Based on the results the morphological and ecohydrological river rehabilitation is appropriate.

Abstract:

Road agencies are constantly being placed in difficult situations when making road maintenance and rehabilitation decisions as a result of diminishing road budgets and mounting environmental concerns for any chosen strategies. This has led practitioners to seek out new alternative and innovative ways of monitoring road conditions and planning maintenance routines. This paper considers the use of innovative piezo-floating gate (PFG) sensors and conventional strain gauges to continuously monitor the pavement condition and subsequently trigger maintenance activities. These technologies can help develop optimized maintenance strategies as opposed to traditional ad-hoc approaches, which often lead to poor decisions for road networks. To determine the environmental friendliness of these approaches, a case study was developed wherein a life cycle assessment (LCA) exercise was carried out. Observations from accelerated pavement testing over a period of three months were used to develop optimized maintenance plans. A base case is used as a guide for comparison to the optimized systems to establish the environmental impacts of changing the maintenance workflows with these approaches. On the basis of the results, the proposed methods have shown that they can, in fact, produce environmental benefits when integrated within the pavement management maintenance system.

Abstract:

This paper reports on the results of a survey conducted for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities on the condition of urban infrastructure in Canadian cities and towns. The major emphasis was on roads, bridges, sewage collection and treatment, and water distribution and treatment systems. The Canadian findings are also compared with the reported U.S. situation. Although not as serious as in the U.S. cities, the survey shows that a significant decline has occurred in the condition of some infrastructure systems in Canadian urban areas. Costs to bring the most seriously deteriorated components of infrastructure (roads, bridges, sewer and water systems) back to acceptable levels are high. Even when spread over a 10-year recovery period, these costs will require an increase in current public works budgets of about 25%.Following the discussion of the state of urban infrastructure in Canada, the paper addresses approaches necessary to obtain optimum value for funds spent on rehabilitation of infrastructure. The need for rehabilitation must distinguish between structural and capacity inadequacies. Alternatives for rehabilitation must include both the engineering alternatives through repair, renovation, and replacement of systems and the management alternatives obtained through operational changes in the system and through changes in system demands. It is both desirable and possible to select engineering and (or) management alternatives on the basis of economic evaluations which trade off the cost of rehabilitation alternatives against the benefits from performance improvements, including the time staging or sequencing of alternatives. Key words: urban infrastructure, infrastructure deterioration, rehabilitation, alternatives, alternative evaluation.
