As researchers, we often develop new techniques or discover interesting methods while reviewing the literature in our field that we would like to share with our peers to enhance its reach. However, in the current situation, platforms where both the sharer and the members are from similar fields of research are quite rare. Besides ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and a few others, as researchers in sustainable engineering or science, we lack a specific platform to share our research output, especially when we innovate or invent a new technique or recommend a method that could be useful for our peers, students, and scholars. A dedicated platform for sharing new techniques in data science and informatics that are suitable for applications in research related to sustainable engineering or science is not only rare but urgently needed. By new techniques in data science and informatics, I refer to methods that include subjects such as Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods (MCDM), Artificial Neura...

A drought prediction model is a computational system designed to forecast the likelihood and severity of future drought events by analyzing historical climate data, including precipitation, temperature, soil moisture, and other relevant environmental factors, using statistical and machine learning techniques to identify patterns and trends that can indicate potential drought conditions. These models aim to provide early warning systems, allowing water management authorities and communities to prepare for potential water shortages and take proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of drought.

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are crucial for modeling complex systems, making predictions, and optimizing processes across various domains. Inspired by the human brain structure, ANNs consist of interconnected neurons organized in layers. They excel at identifying patterns and relationships in data, approximating arbitrary functions, and predicting sequences. ANNs are useful in wastewater treatment, water resource management, climate change studies, and healthcare. They can optimize and control processes, outperforming traditional linear and non-linear models in phenolic contaminants removal. ANNs are effective in handling large datasets and making quick predictions. They can be used in river flow forecasting and can be combined with other techniques for pressure reconstruction. Most used ANNs include Fully Connected Neural Networks (FCNNs), Feed Forward Neural Networks (FNNs), and Back Propagation Neural Networks (BPNN). However, due to shortcomings in existing ANN variants, new ...

The history of transportation is largely the history of material progress. It is difficult to imagine a prosperous society without the knowledge of the arts and sciences for commerce. The natural arrangement of land and water is not the most convenient for commerce and travel, as oceans and seas have unsuitable routes, and rivers are often rocky and shallow. Knowledge of roads, bridges, and canals has been acquired and slowly applied, but the aboriginal inhabitants of a country usually cared for none of these things. Man eventually established a system of interchange of commodities, which led to the creation of roadways over which traffic could be rudely transported on the backs of mules, horses, or other beasts of burden. As exchange and barter extended, the pack-horse became inefficient, and districts near the sea or placed on navigable rivers with easy access to the ocean became developed at the expense of other districts with equal facilities except transport. This book that I am d...

A complex web of extreme events, such as devastating floods in some areas and severe water scarcity in others, are increasingly characterizing the global water crisis. This situation is made worse by the sneaky contamination of water sources with "forever chemicals" that do not decompose in the environment. A complex issue necessitating immediate action to guarantee access to clean, safe water for all populations is created by this pollution and the considerable water loss that occurs during delivery to customers as a result of aging infrastructure. Climate change is causing an increase in extreme events like floods and droughts, leading to unpredictable water availability. Water scarcity is also increasing, especially in areas with high population density and agricultural demands. Persistent organic pollutants like PFAS are contaminating water supplies, posing health risks due to their non-biodegradability. Inefficient infrastructure and leaky pipes contribute to significant...
