Resilience of most critical infrastructures against failure of elements that appear insignificant
is usually taken for granted. The World Airline Network (WAN) is an infrastructure that …

In semi-arid areas, such as the Northeast Region of Brazil (NRB), droughts lead to reduction
of reservoir volumes and to increase of nutrient concentrations. The goal was to evaluate the …

Hydrological data and total phosphorus (TP) concentration at reservoirs' outlet were
combined in a transient complete-mix model to obtain mean input loads and inlet …

The present paper analyses the influence of hydroclimatic forcing and water quality on the
evaporation process of Lake Santo Anastácio, a tropical lake with capacity of about 0.4 hm 3 …

The conversion efficiency of a crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) module increases as its
temperature decreases. Considering this characteristic of the PV technology, in this study …

The northeast of Brazil is a semiarid region where water scarcity is a major problem dealt
with by the construction of dams. This policy generated a dense reservoir network in the …

The mismatch between natural water availability and demand in dryland regions is
overcome by reservoirs of different sizes with the purpose of storing water. The increase in …

While new forms of attacks are developed every day to compromise essential infrastructures,
service providers are also expected to develop strategies to mitigate the risk of extreme …

Drought‐affected regions often contain high densities of small reservoirs, usually informally
built, as drought‐coping mechanism. These structures influence socio‐hydrological …

Taking into account the climatic conditions of the semiarid region of Brazil, with its
intermittent rivers and long periods of water scarcity, a dense network of surface reservoirs …
