Cost-effectiveness analysis for sustainable wastewater engineering and water re...
Costa, Sérgio; Coutinho, L.; Brito, A. G.; Nogueira, R.; Machado, A. Patrícia; Salas, J. J.; Póvoa, C.A cost-effectiveness integrated methodology applied in a water resources management and sanitation project in Minho and Lima’s region (Portugal) is presented. First, environmental objectives and programmes of measures (PM) are established and priorities are identified using a cause–effect assessment matrix and a global effectiveness index. Aiming to achieve more demanding goals, some complementary actions are c...

Bioindicators as a tool for monitoring and control biofilm reactors : a simplif...
Coutinho, L.; Salas, J. J.; Nogueira, R.; Brito, A. G.The control of wastewater treatment plants requires an extensive monitoring programme based on physicochemical costly routine analysis. Microbial populations are well known indicators of operational conditions in biological reactors. This research was carried out by the CENTA and the University of Minho in the scope of the Erasmus programme. The aim of the work was the development of a simplified approach, base...
