Micropollutant dynamics in Vidy Bay - A coupled hydrodynamic-photolysis model to assess the spatial extent of ecotoxicological risk

David Andrew Barry, Tamar Kohn, Florence Bonvin, Amir Mehdi Razmi

The direct discharge of effluent wastewater into Vidy Bay (Lake Geneva) results in the formation of an effluent plume with locally high concentrations of wastewater-derived micropollutants. The micropollutant hotspots above the wastewater outfall present a ...

Flow measurements in sewer systems based on image analysis: automatic flow velocity algorithm

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Daniel Sage, Laurent Son Nguyen, Salim Kayal

Discharges of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and stormwater are recognized as an important source of environmental contamination. However, the harsh sewer environment and particular hydraulic conditions during rain events reduce the reliability of traditi ...

Tidal influence on BTEX biodegradation in sandy coastal aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Clare Robinson

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the influence of tides on the fate of terrestrially-derived BTEX discharging through an unconfined aquifer to coastal waters. Previous studies have revealed that tide-induced seawater circulations create an ac ...

Approximate analytical solutions for assessing the effects of unsaturated flow on seawater extent in thin unconfined coastal aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Zhaoyang Luo

This study develops approximate analytical solutions for seawater extent in unconfined coastal aquifers considering unsaturated flow, and assuming steady-state, sharp-interface conditions, for both constant flux (flux-controlled aquifers) and constant head ...

Solute and sediment transport at laboratory and field scale: Contributions of J.-Y. Parlange

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa

We explore selected aspects of J.-Y. Parlange’s contributions to hydrological transport of solutes and sediments, including both the laboratory and field scales. At the laboratory scale, he provided numerous approximations for solute transport accounting f ...

Green-Ampt approximations

David Andrew Barry

The solution to the Green and Ampt infiltration equation is expressible in terms of the Lambert W-1 function. Approximations for Green and Ampt infiltration are thus derivable from approximations for the W-1 function and vice versa. An infinite family of a ...

Tidal influence on soil conditions in an intertidal creek-marsh system

David Andrew Barry

To understand better how tides affect the soil conditions of salt marshes, pore-water flow in a modeled 3-D creek-marsh system was simulated under the influence of both monochromatic and spring-neap tides. In analyzing the simulation results, we examined s ...

Stochastic optimization to maximize water supply index in conjunctive use of surface and groundwater

David Andrew Barry, Paolo Perona

Systematic operation of water resources systems requires rules that consider the uncertainties affecting system performance. Here, stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) is used to structure and solve a full-scale surface and groundwater conjunctive use mode ...

Parsimonious hydrological modelling in urban areas: Towards integrated modelling

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

Most popular urban hydrological model used in research and engineering (e.g. MOUSE, SWMM, MUSIC,P8) are spatially distributed with linknode drainage network. If some of them (e.g. PURPS, RUNQUAL, SLAMM, StormTac and WBM) treat the catchment in a lumped fas ...

Wintertime Coastal Upwelling in Lake Geneva: An Efficient Transport Process for Deepwater Renewal in a Large, Deep Lake

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Andrea Cimatoribus

Combining field measurements, 3‐D numerical modeling, and Lagrangian particle tracking, we investigated wind‐driven, Ekman‐type coastal upwelling during the weakly stratified winter period 2017/2018 in Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest lake (max. depth ...

Buffering soil-water acidity in chlorinated solvent bioremediation schemes

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Clare Robinson, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Chlorinated solvents form a significant part of groundwater contamination worldwide. They are difficult to remove via physical means, and anaerobic source-zone remediation based on provision of fermentable e-donor is an attractive clean-up dechlorination o ...

Bacterial versus fungal laccase: potential for micropollutant degradation

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Jonas Margot

Relatively high concentrations of micropollutants in municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents underscore the necessity to develop additional treatment steps prior to discharge of treated wastewater. Microorganisms that produce unspecific oxida ...

Coupled effects of canal lining and multi-layered soil structure on canal seepage and soil water dynamics

David Andrew Barry

Ponding tests were conducted in the Shiyang River Basin in Northwest China to assess canal leakage characteristics. Four anti-seepage constructions (concrete lining, pebble lining, clay lining plus compacted canal bed, compacted canal bed only) were perfor ...

Temperature of artificial freshwater recharge significantly affects salinity distributions in coastal confined aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Li Pu

Artificial freshwater recharge is commonly used to mitigate seawater intrusion and restore salinized aquifers in coastal zones. While the temperature of recharged freshwater often differs from that of aquifers, effects of temperature differences on water f ...

Density-dependent solute transport in a layered hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry, Mohsen Cheraghi, Qihao Jiang

Hyporheic exchange is affected by bedform geometry, which induces complex flow paths within the bedform. Additional factors that influence flow and solute transport in the hyporheic zone are layered profile sediments and density-driven flow. This study exp ...

Influence of rock fragment coverage on soil erosion and hydrological response: Laboratory flume experiments and modeling

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

Two laboratory flume experiments on the effect of surface rock fragments on precipitation-driven soil erosion yields were carried out. The total sediment concentration, the concentration of seven individual size classes and the flow discharge were measured ...

Role of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in micropollutant removal from wastewater with aerobic granular sludge

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Jonas Margot, Samuel Lochmatter

Nitrifying wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are more efficient than non-nitrifying WWTPs to remove several micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. This may be related to the activity of nitrifying organisms, such as ammonia-oxidizing bac ...

Exact solutions of the Hairsine-Rose precipitation-driven erosion model for a uniform grain-sized soil

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa

Hairsine and Rose developed a mechanistic, one-dimensional, precipitation-driven erosion model that, since its appearance, has been validated by several sets of experimental results. The model allows any sediment particle to be present in one of three zone ...
