Water safety plan enhancements with improved drinking water quality detection techniques Universiteit Gent
Evaluation of the safety and quality of wash water during the batch washing of Pangasius fish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) in chlorinated and non-chlorinated water Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent

Data driven methods for real time flood, drought and water quality monitoring: applications for Internet of Water Universiteit Hasselt
The Internet of Water (IoW) is a large-scale permanent sensor network with 2500 small, energy-efficient wireless water quality sensors spread across Flanders, Belgium. This intelligent water management system will permanently monitor water quality and quantity in real time. Such a dense network of sensors with high temporal resolution (sub-hourly) will provide unprecedented volumes of data for drought, flood and pollution management, prediction ...
The influence of POP and metal contamination in Flemish water bodies (Belgium) on ecological water quality and biota populations Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
Worldwide industrial development, intensive agriculture and high population densities have led to the
presence of numerous pollutants in the aquatic environment. These pollutants such as polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and metals, threaten the ecological quality of rivers,
canals and lakes, and can cause adverse effects on local invertebrate and fish communities.
However, it is hard ...

Chlorine as lettuce wash water disinfectant with respect to the physicochemical quality and the chemical quality Universiteit Gent
A lettuce (Lactuca sativa) washing process was simulated to assess chlorine as a disinfectant for maintaining the microbial water quality U+201CcleanU+201D i.e. to prevent water becoming a vehicle for transmission of unacceptable levels of micro-organisms to the lettuce. Cut lettuce leaves were inoculated overnight with E.coli O157 to obtain ca. 4.0 log CFU/g, and subsequently washed. The washing process consisted of washing portions of 50 g of ...
Online flow cytometric monitoring of microbial water quality in a full-scale water treatment plant Universiteit Gent
The ever-increasing need for high-quality drinking and process waters, and growing public awareness about possible contamination, drive efforts for the further development of automated control of water treatment plants. For example, membrane filtration processes and reverse osmosis in particular are generally regarded as a safe barrier for inorganic, organic, and microbial contamination. Yet, to ensure the final water quality and to increase the ...
Water displacement by sewer infrastructure and its effect on the water quality in rivers Universiteit Antwerpen
Water quality is affected by a complex combination of natural and anthropogenic factors. To assess watershed integrity on a larger scale and for an optimal, cost-effective integrated watershed management, defining linkages between upstream watershed land cover and riverine water quality is essential. A correct upstream area calculation is an absolute necessity to reach conclusive results, but remains problematic in human influenced catchments. ...
Water and soil conservation for improved crop productivity, water household and soil quality in Niger Universiteit Gent
Growing population pressure and ongoing soil degradation increasingly force Nigerien farmers to rely on marginal and shallow lands for crop production. Regular crop management, however, generally fails to produce millet grains on these soils, as they suffer from a low soil nutrient content and imbalanced partitioning of water in the rootzone. Recently, major attention went to small scale water water and soil conservation (WSC) practices to ...
