Due to simplicity and low costs, waste stabilisation ponds (WSPs) have become one of the most popular biological wastewater treatment systems that are applied in many places around the globe. Increasingly, pond modelling has become an interesting tool to...

The ecosystem services (ES) approach offers an integrated perspective of social-ecological systems, suitable for holistic assessments of mining impacts. Yet for ES models to be policy-relevant, methodological consensus in mining contexts is needed. We re...

Land-use changes influence the ecological water quality. In spite of this knowledge, land-use information is often missing in ecological water quality studies. Therefore, in the present research, we selected 39 peer-reviewed model-based scientific papers...

In a way to counter criticism on low cost-effective conventional activated sludge (AS) technology, waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) offer a valid alternative for wastewater treatment due to their simple and inexpensive operation. To evaluate this alterna...

Polder watercourses within agricultural areas are affected by high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD5) concentrations, due to intensive farming activities and runoff. Practical cases have shown that constructed wetlands (CWs)...
