Hydrogeological aproaches as the tool for the mitigation of negative impact of climate change in water management: Evaluation of qualitative and quantitative aspects of managed aquifer recharge
Rozman, David ; Hrkal, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Rapantová, Naďa (referee) ; Pech, Pavel (referee)
The thesis adresses the issue of efficient use of groundwater resources under the ongoing climate change conditions, which results in reduced natural recharge of aquifers. It focuses on the assessment of qualitative and quantitative aspects of managed groundwater recharge. In addition to a review of the issues of artificial recharge, the thesis provides two outputs. The first one is a critical evaluation of the effectiveness of artificial infiltration in crystalline conditions, typical for a large part of the Czech Republic, where at present artificial infiltration is not a commonly applied procedure. The second key output is the monitoring of the occurrence of new types of micropollutants from the category of so-called emerging pollutants, which may limit the availability of drinking water sources, especially in periods of climatic stress. Research within the PhD project was conducted at several pilot sites and the results are published in peer-reviewed articles. The obtained findings confirm the suitability of the managed groundwater recharge procedure and the considerable effectiveness of attenuation processes of the aquifers in degrading micropollutant pollution.
Removal of Contaminants from Water.
Spáčilová, Markéta
This study deals with commonly used plastics; polystyrene (PS), polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), polyamide (PA), polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), etc. Microplastic samples were prepared by abrasion from commonly available plastics to simulate real microplastic occurrence in the environment. Prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy (IR) to obtain their fingerprints. These characteristics can be applied as standards for characterization of real microplastics.
