Green Smart Technology for Water (GST4Water): Life Cycle Analysis of Urban Water Consumption
Article
Full-text available
  • Feb 2019
The increasing scarcity of water is encouraging strategies in water saving and urban water management systems devoted to reducing natural resource consumption and environmental impact. At household and urban scales, there is an increasing interest in onsite greywater and non-potable water reuse systems in order to improve water availability. In thi...

Impact of uncertainty in soil texture parameters on estimation of soil moisture through radio waves transmission
Article
Full-text available
  • Oct 2018
Soil moisture is a key parameter which governs the soil water balance and affects hydrologic processes such as water infiltration and evapotranspiration. These processes are critical in several fields related to water resources including precision agriculture and drought management. As such, increasing attention is paid to field estimation of soil...

Modeling for sustainability: Life cycle assessment application to evaluate environmental performance of water recycling solutions at the dwelling level
Article
Full-text available
  • Sep 2018
The reduction in drinking water consumption, also through the reuse and recycling of unconventional sources of water, has been identified as one of the goals of the sustainable development. This study focuses on evaluating and comparing the environmental impacts attributable to the use of source of water supply, such as rainwater harvesting and gre...

Sustainability Assessment of Urban Water Use from Building to Urban Scale in the GST4Water Project
Article
Full-text available
  • Aug 2018
The present paper illustrates some of results obtained in the GST4Water project concerning the development of appropriate metrics, methods and tools for the assessment of economic and environmental sustainability of urban water systems at different scales for a variety of stakeholders. At the household scale and based on data and algorithms to repr...

... As a result, the authors used the "end-ofwaste" concept in the wastewater sector, showing improved criteria for resource recovery. Bonoli et al. (2019) performed a LCA study at a district level, and six scenarios were tested. The authors considered the traditional water supply with or without energy consumption related to hot water generation and other five different Environ. ...

... Despite the clear influence of soil moisture on radio transmission performances, a surprisingly limited number of investigations have sought to exploit this link to infer VWC values from measurements related to radio parameters. In [26], the estimation of soil moisture, exploiting radio-wave parameters, is proposed and discussed from a theoretical point of view by means of a global sensitivity analysis. However, while this work is targeted on LoRa technology, no field tests were actually performed. ...

... In another review, the study by Paul et al. (2019) shows decentralized treatment systems to have two-three times more costs than centralized treatment systems. Zanni et al. (2019) have demonstrated that the energy consumed in the distribution system plays a crucial role in the overall environmental performance. Ironically, the cost of the network is 70-80% of the total sewerage project cost which should actually determine the scale of the implementation rather than treatment plant costs. ...

... In addition, this suite also aims to optimize the management of rainwater through green technologies that can increase urban resilience against extreme rain events. Finally, another suite of software tools was developed, in order to provide an assessment of the economic and environmental sustainability of the proposed hardware and software solutions through the valuation of indicators based on Urban Metabolism and Life Cycle Assessment techniques [9]. ...
