DALYs are a measure of the health of a population or burden of disease due to a specific disease or risk factor. It evaluates the time lost because of disability or death from diseases compared with a long life free of disability in the absence of disease. DALYs are calculated as the sum of years of life lost by premature mortality (YLL) and years...

Watershed transposition is a 2000 years policy developed by the Romans to satisfy their continuous growing water demand, leading to the build up of an extensive network of aqueducts. This is the so called "old paradigm" still prevailing nowadays, for the relief of local water supply constraints on detriment of other regions. The systematic transfer...
