Before the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC, Persian forces settled on Psyttalia island. After the battle, the Persian fleet left and the Athenian general Aristides landed on Psyttalia island and killed the remaining Persian forces. Since the 1950s, Athens has struggled with sewage management. Makeshift cesspools and sewage tankers were initially used before a central sewer system was built in 1959, dumping untreated waste into the Saronic Gulf. By the 1980s, Greece was obligated under EU law to implement secondary wastewater treatment. Athens opened its wastewater treatment plant in 1985. Further projects were undertaken in the 1990s to expand sewage infrastructure to more of Athens and implement offshore wast

Ionideios
Piraeus was declared a township in 517 BC and its walls were finished between 471-465 BC. As an introductory port, it had great shipping and freight movement from October to April when weather facilitated sailing. It also had important manufacturing including shipbuilding, metallurgy, and pottery. In ancient times, the port underwent works to support about 2500 ships and 1.5 million tons of cargo annually. Later, the 1869 railway connection to Athens further developed the port. Piraeus also had industrial development covering basic sectors that renewed equipment and overcame crises to remain a key part of the town's economy today.
The importance of underwater archaeological research
Three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered by water, and beneath the oceans, lakes, and rivers lies a physical record of human history including shipwrecks, submerged cities, and other traces of the past. Most underwater archaeologists specialize in studying historic watercraft and nautical archaeology, but other submerged sites that are studied include sunken settlements and offerings placed in sinkholes or bogs. Laws require that underwater cultural sites be documented by archaeologists before being impacted by activities like development, fishing, drilling, or cable laying. Studying past shipwrecks has also helped improve maritime safety practices.

Locks are used to raise and lower boats between waterways of different elevations. They work by filling or emptying sections to equalize water levels on each side of gates. In the 19th century, the development of large canals was vital for trade as it reduced transport distances for goods. This led to massive infrastructure projects like the Suez and Panama Canals, led by Ferdinand de Lesseps. The construction of the Suez Canal began in 1859 and involved digging a 162 kilometer trench through the desert to connect Europe and Asia without needing to go around Africa.
The Suez Canal
The document summarizes the history of the Suez Canal. It details previous failed attempts by the Egyptians to connect the Mediterranean and Red Seas dating back to 1310 BCE. In 1858, French engineer Ferdinand de Lesseps organized a company to build a canal. Construction began in 1859 and took 10 years, costing over 1.5 million Egyptian workers, including 125,000 deaths. The Suez Canal opened on November 17, 1869, cutting shipping time and distance between ports. It is 193 km long, 24m deep, and 205m wide, connecting Mediterranean shipping to Asia and beyond.

Brief history of minoan technologies (A. Angelakis)
1. The document discusses water and wastewater technologies used in ancient Crete during the Bronze Age, with an emphasis on the Minoan civilization.
2. Key water supply technologies developed by the Minoans included aqueducts, cisterns, wells, fountains, and systems for recreational and environmental uses of water. Drainage systems incorporated toilets, baths, sewers, and drains.
3. Minoan water systems were well-adapted decentralized networks that collected, stored, distributed, and recycled water through principles of sustainability, demonstrating advanced water management for their time over 4,000 years ago.
Panama canal
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through a 77 km artificial waterway. Construction began in 1881 by a French company but was plagued by engineering and health issues, including thousands of worker deaths from diseases like yellow fever and malaria. The French efforts went bankrupt in 1889. In 1902, the United States took over the project and was able to complete it in 1914 after better understanding mosquito-borne diseases and implementing safety measures. The canal uses a system of locks to raise and lower ships 85 feet between sea levels and was a crucial project for international trade and transportation.

Man's ambition to control water has led to incredible construction projects like dams, canals, and polders to reclaim land from the sea. Frederick Rustagno, a physicist and fluid dynamics expert, examines the work of engineers who have shaped history by tackling immense infrastructure projects to harness water's power and protect against its devastating effects, redrawing the landscapes of the planet. One example is the Corinth Canal, dug nearly 3,000 years after first being proposed to cut an over 400 km detour around the Peloponnese, avoiding a difficult sea passage.

Suez Canal.ppt
The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It was constructed between 1859 and 1869, allowing ships to travel between Europe and Asia without circumnavigating Africa. Modernizing and widening projects have since increased the Canal's maximum ship size. During the Suez Crisis in 1956, Egypt nationalized the Canal and Israel, Britain, and France launched a military operation in response. After negotiations, international shipping through the Canal resumed. Today it remains a critical international shipping route.

Kerameikos Cemetery of Ancient Athens
Kerameikos Cemetery of Ancient Athens was located where potters once lived and worked along the Iridanos River, making it prone to flooding and unsuitable for housing. It served as Athens' main cemetery for over 15 centuries. Two important gates provided access: the Dipilo Gate marked the start of the Panathenaic procession, while the Sacred Gate was where processions to Eleusis began. Ostracism was a practice where citizens voted to exile politicians perceived as too powerful by writing their names on pottery shards, over 10,000 of which have been found at Kerameikos.
600 b.c.the tunnel of samos,ευπαλίνειο όρυγμα 600π.χ πυθαγόρειο σάμος
The document summarizes the engineering achievement of the ancient water tunnel on the Greek island of Samos, excavated through a mountain in the 6th century BC. It was over 1,000 meters long and dug through solid limestone by teams from both ends without modern tools. There has been debate over how the teams were able to align their excavations to meet in the middle. The document discusses two proposed methods - Hero of Alexandria's theoretical right-triangle method from centuries later, and an alternative method involving climbing above the tunnel route. It ultimately argues Hero's method would not have worked practically due to errors, and an overland alignment was more likely.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Psitalia island - Organic cleaning
- 2. Before the battle of Salamis in 480 BC, the Persians settled on the island Persian guard, composed of warriors and nobles. After the battle, the Persian fleet leaving to Faliro left the guard of Psyttalia and Aristides landed on the island and killed all Persians. Therefore one of the trophies after winning, was set up on Psyttalia island. It is commemorated by Aeschylus, Herodotus, Plutarch, Strabo, Pausanias and other authors as a place of worship of Pan,
- 4. Since the 50s, people began to use homemade cesspools and carry sewage by tankers to ease recipients, which could meet with the needs of Athens. In 1959, therefore, they began to build the central drain, leading the effluent of the historic center in Akrokeramos, in Keratsini area, and pouring them into the sea until 1994. The pipeline created environmental problems , thereby contaminating the Saronic Gulf and the coastal region of Elefsina.
- 5. Greece during that time was developing economically and as a member of the EEC (European Economic Community) has obtained the legal obligation to protect its sea environment. The most important legal document for the effluent, was Directive 91/271 / EEC, requiring at least secondary wastewater treatment for all agglomerations of more than 15,000 inhabitants, up to the end of 2000. Athens in 1985, with the operation of the Wastewater and sewage Metamorphosis Centre, managed to close the numerous "cesspool" that were scattered in the Attica basin. There was no national experience on this, so people reacted strongly.
- 6. And like this, they started to build the Supplemental Sewerage Pipeline, to transport waste water from the rest of Athens in Akrokeramo and undersea pipelines of wastewater after pretreatment, from Akrokeramo to Psyttalia, the mainly treatment projects on the island and two underwater outfall pipes 1,870 meters each for the disposal of the already treated wastewater to the Saronic Gulf, at a depth of 63 meters. This project was very complicated, but it would be one of the largest in K.E.L extent, on Earth, after covering almost all the area throughout the island
