Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Treated Wastewater in Terms of Environmental StandardsSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Hossein Gholami, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariThe desired use of refined wastewater has not yet found its proper place in many countries, therefore, achieving a relative equilibrium in the field of urban wastewater evacuation and re-utilizing it is a fundamental principle. And this great matter is not possible except by developing a comprehensive refinery waste management system. The set of measures that have been taken so … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Sep 2019 · 7,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping of Flood Risk Zones in Ala River Basin Akure, NigeriaOlajire Olabanji Olatona, O.A. Obiora-Okeke, J.R. AdewumiFloods are water induced disasters that lead to temporary inundation of dry land and cause serious damages in the affected location such as loss of lives and properties and destruction of infrastructures. Nigeria has experienced a lot of flood incidences and the impact of flood has also increased due to population growth coupled with uncontrolled developmental practices. The result of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2018 · 9,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Modelling of Flood Hazards in the Rapidly Growing City of Osogbo, Osun State, NigeriaSuleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Oluchi Christiana Onuoha, Komolafe Akinola Adesuji et al.In recent times, the swift and uncoordinated urban expansion in the medium sized city of Osogbo has increasingly encroached on the environmental sensitive areas. This uncoordinated exploitation of the ecological fragile areas for urban development has triggered urban flooding, which poses serious threat to human lives and properties in the city. This study therefore utilized geospatial technologies to generate flood … …Space Science International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2018 · 13,835 accessesView PDFCite
