Impact of daylight saving time on circadian timing system : an expert statement
Meira e Cruz, Miguel; Miyazawa, M.; Manfredini, R.; Cardinali, D.; Madrid, J. A.; Reiter, R.; Araujo, J. F.; Agostinho, R.; Acuña-Castroviejo, D.Even though that in the very beginning of Daylight Saving Time (DST) policy, standards were decided individually by each country, and were not regulated, most European member States have progressively been adopting the so called “summer time” since 1970s or 1980s which had been gradually harmonized under EU law [1]. Public discomfort have been argued for years and claims from several social groups regarding the...
Interim report for the Project Period June 2015 - February 2016
Leitão, T. E.; Lobo Ferreira, J. P. C.; Oliveira, M. M.; Martins, T.; Henriques, M. J. A.; Mota, R.; Barbosa, A. E.; Carvalho, T.; Carvalho, J.M.The work progress of WP4 between month 19 and 27 was conducted with the strong collaboration of the three Portuguese partners (LNEC, TARH and UAlg) as well as with the regional water authorities (APA Algarve and APA Alentejo), the water supply company (AdA, Águas do Algarve), and the General Direction for Agriculture (DRAPALG), some of the main potential users of MAR. As reported before, the main purposes of th...
Gestão de recarga induzida de aquíferos. Exemplos do projeto MARSol no Algarve
Leitão, T. E.; Lobo Ferreira, J. P. C.; Carvalho, T.; Monteiro, J. P.; Oliveira, M. M.; Agostinho, R.; Costa, L. R. D.; Martins, T.; Henriques, M. J. A.A utilização de técnicas de MAR (managed aquifer recharge, em nomenclatura inglesa ou gestão de recarga induzida de aquíferos) visa armazenar água em aquíferos durante períodos de excedentes podendo ajudar a resolver posteriores desafios de escassez de água e, assim, melhor gerir a variabilidade temporal da disponibilidade de água. Além disso, a qualidade da água pode ser melhorada através da sua circulação pel...
Monitoring results from the South Portugal - MARSOL demonstration sites
Leitão, T. E.; Lobo Ferreira, J. P. C.; Oliveira, M. M.; Martins, T.; Henriques, M. J. A.; Mota, R.; Carvalho, T.; Carvalho, J.M.; Agostinho, R.The main objectives of WP4 “DEMO Site 2: Algarve and Alentejo, South Portugal” are to demonstrate how MAR can contribute as an alternative source of water, in the context of an integrated and inter-annual water resources management, as well as in solving groundwater quality problems caused by previous agricultural practices and wastewater discharges. Three DEMO sites (Figure 1) have been chosen for WP4: PT1: ...
New test of the Gabardine infiltration basin for mar in rio Seco (Campina da Fa...
Oliveira, M. M.; Lobo Ferreira, J. P. C.; Leitão, T. E.; Costa, L. R. D.; Carvalho, T.; Agostinho, R.; Monteiro, J. P.The infiltration basin constructed in the GABARDINE project in Rio Seco stream (Algarve, Portugal) was rehabilitated during MARSOL project and a new infiltration test has been performed. The hydrogeological framework is presented and the new infiltration test is described and interpreted. The results are similar to those obtained during GABARDINE project, with calculated infiltration rates varying with water he...
Demonstrating managed aquifer recharge as a solution to water scarcity and drou...
Leitão, T. E.; Lobo Ferreira, J. P. C.; Carvalho, T.; Monteiro, J. P.; Oliveira, M. M.; Agostinho, R.; Costa, L. R. D.; Henriques, M. J. A.; Martins, T.This paper presents a synthesis of the work developed in Portugal, by LNEC, TARH and UAlg, for the European Union Seventh Framework Programme project "Demonstrating Managed Aquifer Recharge as a Solution to Water Scarcity and Drought – MARSOL". The main achievements gathered in the DEMO sites during 2014, the first year of the project, are briefly presented.
Interpretation of an injection test in a large diameter well in south Portugal ...
Costa, L. R. D.; Monteiro, J. P.; Oliveira, M. M.; Lobo Ferreira, J. P. C.; Leitão, T. E.; Carvalho, T.; Carvalho, J.M.; Agostinho, R.This paper refers to the interpretation of an injection test in a traditional large diameter well in Querença-Silves aquifer, south Portugal, under the scope of the project FP7-ENV-2013-WATER-INNO-DEMO MARSOL. Hydraulic parameter estimates were found within a high level of uncertainty regarding aquifer and well configuration. Given the injection test results together with the knowledge acquired on the field and...
