A field-based study of alternative microbial indicator tests for drinking water quality in Northern Ghana
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Safe drinking water is essential for human survival, yet it is unavailable to over 1 billion of the world's people living in poverty (World Bank, 2009). The current methods used to identify drinking water sources are ...
Incorporating uncertainty in the Life Cycle Cost Analysis of pavements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is an important tool to evaluate the economic performance of alternative investments for a given project. It considers the total cost to construct, maintain, and operate a pavement over its ...
Estimating hydrologic fluxes, crop water use, and agricultural land use in China from multiple data sources
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Crop production has significantly altered the terrestrial environment by changing land use (Ramankutty et al., 2008) and by altering the water cycle through both co-opting rainfall and surface water withdrawals (Postel et ...
