(author), Post, Johan (author), Prasad, Divyae K. (author), Medema, G.J. (author)Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater (WW) is a promising tool for epidemiological surveillance, correlating not only viral RNA levels with the infection dynamics within the population, but also to viral diversity. However, the complex mixture of viral lineages in WW samples makes tracking of specific variants or lineages circulating in the...journal article 2023

Stikkers, Anastasia (author)This thesis provides knowledge on factors affecting the representativeness of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) for monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The application of WBE to monitor health parameters has become essential due to the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020. WBE is a well-known method to track the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater and is...master thesis 2022

Kokubo Roche, Akemi (author)Water scarcity problems will continue to exacerbate in many parts of the world, urging society to mitigate or adapt. Consequently, unconventional water resources, such as municipal wastewater, are becoming more relevant. This thesis aims to measure and evaluate the social impacts of wastewater treatment (WWT) systems potentially stemming from...master thesis 2022

Della Pietra, Diana (author)In our effort to control it, water in our cities has progressively been confined between lines, canalised or culverted underground, resulting in its gradual isolation and erasure from our sight and collective imagination. As freshwater availability and water-related hazards are brought to the forefront of sustainable development goals, the long...master thesis 2022

Bonavita, Daniele (author)From 2018 to 2020, the city of Breda (NL) faced drought, with significant economic losses and water scarcity problems. The water board within which the city is located began to consider new possible water management practices, due to the unsustainability of the current ones. This study aims to investigate how a change of the current paradigm can...master thesis 2022

van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Hao, Xiaodi (author), Wu, Yuanyuan (author)摘要： 好氧颗粒污泥技术具有占地面积小、能耗低、剩余污泥量少、抗冲击性强等优点，是<br/>一种可持续的污水处理技术。以北京某污水处理厂实际生活污水作为基质，在中试规模（有效容积<br/>为2.5 m3）反应器中进行好氧颗粒污泥培养，研究了颗粒污泥在低温条件下的稳定性。中试自夏季<br/>开始运行到次年春季结束，共计运行260 d。结果表明，采用我国实际低碳源市政污水可以培养出好<br/>氧颗粒污泥，污泥颗粒化程度可达94%，SVI5/SVI30为1.1 ~ 1.3。冬季低温会造成颗粒污泥的枝状结<br/>构增多、丝状菌生长，进而引起颗粒化比例略有下降，为80%~91%，污泥平均粒径降低，SVI5/SVI30升<br/>高至1.5 ~ 1.8。在冬季低温条件下，通过优化调控进水流量...journal article 2022
