Over the last two decades ethics and integrity of governance have attracted more and more attention from academics, practitioners in the public service, politicians, the media and the general public. Governments on the national and local levels are more and more aware that they can only act legitimately if citizens have trust in their government and public administration, and that trust is a consequence of ethical conduct and appearance. Many are the cases where politicians or highranking public servants have had to resign – if not be dismissed – because of behaviour that raised questions about their integrity. In the end even the integrity of a whole government can be questioned. Recent examples can be found in the involvement of Western European countries in the Iraq war which resulted in serious debates in several parliaments. To safeguard themselves from ethical infringements many countries set up an integrity system, comprising a variety of measures, often laid down in formal legislation. One can think of administrative procedures related to financial accounting standards, the development of codes of conduct, screening and security measures, training and awareness-raising programmes, procedures to prevent conflicts of interest, registration of other employment, disclosure of specific information and so on. These systems are in very different stages of development and are sometimes implemented at the national level, sometimes at the local level. These developments have also attracted the interest of academic research in the field of public administration and political science. In 2003 the Study Group on Ethics and Integrity of Governance was established under the banner of the European Group for Public Administration, EGPA. The Study Group brings

Abstract The topic of corporate governance and the quality of internal auditing have increased the importance in the light of fast economic changes. The financial systems of many of the world's largest companies face decreasing trust of the company's stakeholders and beneficiaries in the financial information they present. Iraq is considered one of the emerging countries in which the private sector suffers from the same problems as other international companies. At the same time, the indicators of financial and administrative corruption are increasing in the Iraqi economic and financial environments. The Iraqi environment requires the implementation of the principles of corporate governance, quality control and internal auditing. The aim of current study is to analyze the relationship and effects between the principles of corporate governance and the quality of the function of internal auditing in private companies in Iraq through statistical analysis of the survey data from a sample of internal audit managers and accountants. The recommendations presented aim to improve the quality of internal audit and support corporate governance to ensure the credibility of financial information disclosed in the financial statements by the executive departments in those companies, contributing to the decision-making process. The study reached several conclusions. The most important of these is that the effective and proper implementation of the principles of corporate governance in the private sector companies in Iraq will contribute to the improvement and development of the internal audit function in the company reflected positively on the performance, survival and continuity of corporate activity while safeguarding the interests of those involved.

Wallace Lyon was Provincial Administrator and Administrative Inspector in northern Iraq - an area known unofficially as 'Kurdistan' - between 1918 and 1945. His job was to administer what at the time was a fairly wild and remote province, while protecting the Kurds from a predatory and unstable Iraq and safeguarding British imperial interests in the area. The pushing would have been impossible but for an in-depth understanding of natural respect for the family, tribal and religious ties that defined the area's complex social structures. Nor would it have been possible without Lyon's personal courage and immediate empathy for the people of the region. Lyon's work was an exemplar of the qualities that the British Empire hoped to breed in its servants. As the Empire waned the Kurdish north - so vital in geopolitical manoeuvring provided Lyon with the perfect vantage point from which to watch its decline.

Abstract This chapter examines the effect of occupation on private property and contract rights within the context of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. In doing so, I examine how the treatment of private property in the Iraqi occupation compares and contrasts with Japanese, Italian, and German occupations after World War II. Furthermore, I show how non-European occupations have been characterized by a disregard of occupation rules safeguarding private property as opposed to European occupations. This disregard of the private property under occupation is similar to the disregard with reference to territorial acquisitions of a much earlier period, which I addressed in Chapter 2. In this chapter, I also demonstrate the importance placed on the private property of Europeans in non-European contexts and the lack of focus on the private property rights of non-Europeans. It is therefore not surprising that, following the U.S.-led conquest of Iraq in early 2003, most scholarly and press coverage focused on the status of foreign corporations’ property in Iraq before the war.

Over four decades of conflicts and instability have severely deteriorated Iraq’s social and political systems. These long-term trends have also progressively damaged the rich heritage of the country and repeatedly weakened its cultural infrastructures. Against this backdrop, in recent years, international institutions and funding bodies have promoted initiatives to revive and relaunch the Iraqi cultural heritage which is considered a critical component to support the wider post-conflicts recovery as well as an important player in the country’s post-oil reality. Among these, between 2016 and 2020, a European-Iraqi partnership launched the “EDUU - Education and Cultural Heritage Enhancement for Social Cohesion in Iraq” project, funded by the EuropeAid Programme of the European Union. The project focused on improving education and enhancing cultural heritage by connecting Iraqi universities, heritage institutions, secondary schools, museums and local communities. To this end, the EDUU project implemented a wide range of activities using archaeological, ethnoarchaeological, cultural heritage, and community engagement methodologies. This paper provides a critical analysis of the project results and lessons learned together with future outlooks to foster social cohesion through cultural heritage in the country.

As the urban environment rapidly changes, conservation management plays a significant role in increasing people’s awareness about heritage, its protection and enhancement. With increasing attention paid to the care of cultural heritage, conservation management systems that protect and enhance cultural heritage, and control new development, continue to evolve at local, national and international levels. The pilgrimage city of Najaf, in Iraq, has a long history yet many of its buildings are under threat as a result of unclear conservation management in practice. This thesis addresses questions about the value and significance of Najaf’s heritage, the city’s development policy relating to conservation and the impact of interventions in its historic fabric. It explores levels of understanding about conservation values in the context of contemporary Iraq. To achieve this, three case studies are presented that examine conservation knowledge in terms of the value placed on preserving physical and social fabric, local and national development control procedures and current conservation practices. The original contribution to knowledge that this thesis makes is in outlining how heritage has been understood, designated, protected and managed in Iraq, along with a critical analysis of current conservation infrastructure. The findings show that the Iraqi people and authorities have a limited understanding of conservation management and few clear policies or controls are currently being employed in practice. In Najaf, key decision makers prioritise accommodating pilgrims and modernisation of the city, rather than safeguarding heritage. The thesis argues that the heritage documentation system is inadequate and that there is significant overlap in decision-making responsibilities. The study therefore proposes the rationalisation of policies and regulations; overhaul of Iraqi heritage education programmes to include architects, planners, politicians, archaeologists, key-workers and others; and further support for better rehabilitation procedures where conservation plans are often lacking and building activities involve unqualified workers.

The world has started to appreciate more and more the value of information and its impact on humanity and sustainable developments. However, due to the increase in cybercrimes, information technology needs to be secured using certain policies and laws. In Iraq, as one of the developing countries, information technology field has evolved but the readiness to secure information technology is believed to be at the infancy. This paper introduces the potential role of intellectual property in safeguarding information technology from infringed and theft threats. It also suggests some recommendations as a basis for developing intellectual property law and policies to protect the rights of information technologies in Iraq.

My fundamental purpose [here today] is to reaffirm United States policy towards Iraq. That policy is part of a broad commitment to protect the security and territory of our friends and allies in the Gulf. We have a vital national interest in the security of the region's oil supplies, and we have forged strong friendships with countries in the area who agree with us that nations should respect international law, refrain from aggression and oppose those who commit or sponsor terror.

This research is entitled "Language plan and security of the national Language" .It talks about the function and political role of language planning in maintaining national language security in the face of the conflicts and threats from other languages. The research comprises two parts: The first part talks about kurdish language and national language security in which attention has been given to the steps that the frequent regimes in Iraq have taken towards weakening and destroying the bases and authenticity of kurdish language. The second part has been devoted to the language policy and plan for the purpose of safeguarding national language security. In addition, the relation between language and identity as well as language policy and plan and their fundamental elements have been discussed. Further, the effect of Arabic and English languages on the syntactic structures of Kurdish has been discussed. At the end, the most important conclusions are put forward with a list of the references.

Over the past few years, there has been a rise in interest and knowledge about the importance of controlling and safeguarding Cultural Heritage on local, national, European, and global scales. "the heritage of physical artefacts and intangible traits of a group civilization that are inherited from previous generations" (Falser, 2011) is how Cultural Heritage (CH) is described. Recent man-made and/or natural disasters (such as the Iraq War, the Tsunami, earthquakes, fires, etc.) have only heightened the urgency of the situation. As a result, authorised authorities at all levels realised it was more crucial than ever to take all necessary precautions to safeguard Cultural Heritage for future generations. The datafication and repurposing of such assets has significant promise because to recent advances in IT tools like processing images, AI, and Big Data technologies. A bibliometric and webometric study was conducted to investigate the current state of and future prospects for digital platforms dedicated to the promotion of art culture with yoga. It became out that three main categories of digital infrastructure—web portals, databanks, and purpose-built applications—exist for the preservation, dissemination, and promotion of art, culture, and yoga. The importance of universities in India being digitised to protect cultural heritage is highlighted in this research.

The Tinjdad palm grove aquifer, located in South-East Morocco, is experiencing a recrudescence of pumping and a decrease in rainfall. The experiments carried out on the hydrological regime of the wadis showed the interest of the establishment of prohibition and safeguarding perimeters of khettaras and the artificial recharge of the aquifer by the installation of systems allowing infiltration in the wadi beds. The most suitable technique for flood waters is the setting up of dams in the wadis to artificially increase the contact area by making “dead arms” work and decrease the flow velocities downstream of the dam, while preserving groundwater resources by groundwater contracts setup and delimiting the prohibition and safeguarding perimeters.

Abstract The law governing international investment comprises primarily treaties between individual States and regional arrangements focusing on investment provisions that protect and promote foreign investment and the principles of customary international law that govern it. Recently, there has been rapid growth in such agreements, and growing criticism of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) due to their unbalanced content and the vague and broad investment protection standards that can be interpreted in ways that prioritise investment protection over the right of host States to regulate. In this context, the Morocco–Nigeria BIT has been applauded as a balanced and innovative example of the genre and a response to the global backlash against BITs. This article shows how this BIT has taken a bold step towards such reconciliation, by attempting to balance investor protection with series of obligations placed on the investor on human rights, and environmental and social impact assessment, effectively safeguarding the host State’s regulatory space in relation to social and environmental matters. Whether this step has resolved the issue of balancing the interests of investment protection and the preservation of the regulatory interest of the host State is unlikely, given that some substantive provisions are drafted so as not to strike a proper balance between private and public interests. The discussion also shows that many provisions remain vague and, hence, continue to grant discretion to investor–State dispute settlement (ISDS) tribunals to determine the meaning of these provisions.

42 The Moroccan non-governmental organization “SEEPOM’’ (Association d’Education Environnementale et de Protection des Oiseaux au Maroc) has produced a poster on the Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus, in collaboration with the HCEFLCD (Haut Commissariat au Eaux et Forets et a la Lutte Contre la Desertification) and the CRMT (Region de Meknes Tafilalet). The Griffon Vulture is threatened, both in Morocco and internationally. It is important to conserve this species as it contributes to the maintenance of ecological processes, and also has important ecotourism value. This poster has the following message (in Arabic and French): “The Griffon Vulture is a purifier of the environment, let’s safeguard it”. The poster will be used to promote an awareness of the Griffon Vulture in Morocco. We thank Marnix Vandegehuchte and Mark Anderson for their contributions towards the production of this poster.

The relevant evolution of social networks and the expansion of digitalization has led to significant changes in the classical processes used by Moroccan companies in different fields such as marketing, human resources management, etc. This paper investigates the effects of digitalization on the attractiveness of Moroccan companies in terms of recruitment and safeguarding these constructs by using structural equation models according to the PLS approach. The study was carried out to touch 74 companies in different sectors. The study showed positive relationships between management support, digitalization, and recruitment performance (defined as the attractiveness of a company for recruitment and federalization of employees). The results show that the T-statistics are equal to 67.55, 6.862, and 5.941, respectively. The Q² value is 0.884 for scanning and 0.937 for performance, which means that the model is predictive in nature. The GoF is 1.388, which means that model is sufficiently large for the overall validity of the PLS model. While jobseeker behavior and competitive intensity did not affect recruitment performance because the test T-statistics is less than 1.64, the two factors have no moderating effect as the p-values are 0.228 and 0.082, respectively, exceeding the threshold of 0.05.

Owing to the increasing pollution generated by anthropic activities, the quality of water resources in Morocco has been subject to degradation these last years. It becomes therefore necessary to install mechanisms and actions aiming at preserving and safeguarding the quality of water resources. The prevention of the contamination on a local scale requires the establishment of protection perimeters around the wells. The use of geographical information systems (GIS) for the management and the handling of information is necessary because of the geo-referenced nature of the data. The main purpose of this study is the design of a GIS for delineating protection perimeters (DPP). The procedure used consists in analyzing and defining the needs and means necessary for designing the GIS and for developing the processing system for the DPP of groundwater resources (principal information layers and functionalities of the system). Finally, to assess the reliability of the system suggested, an application was tested on the Ahmed Taleb Field basin located in the North-East of Kenitra city (Morocco). A toolbox was developed in order to carry out some of the operations required (feed area, influence and draw zones, transfer time) for dimensioning the various protection zones (immediate, influence and distant protection zones). The methodology utilized in this pilot project will be used as a guide for the future cartography of the vulnerability of the aquifer system and for the delimitation of protection perimeters in order to ensure the effective preservation of water resources geared to the drinking water network.

The urgent need to preserve cultural heritage is starkly evident in contemporary society, particularly poignant in Morocco where its rich cultural legacy faces unprecedented threats. The rapid forces of urbanization and relentless economic development have converged, resulting in the alarming devaluation and irreversible degradation of a substantial portion of this invaluable heritage. Within this disconcerting backdrop, certain remarkable vestiges have managed to endure the ravages of time. One such exemplar is the Marinid Madrasa, an architectural marvel from the 4th century, nestled within the Chellah archaeological site in Rabat, Morocco. Beyond its physical grandeur, the Madrasa plays a pivotal role as a conduit between the past and the future, facilitating the transmission of cultural heritage to generations yet unborn. This paper embarks on a multidisciplinary journey, employing advanced techniques such as terrestrial photogrammetry, numerical modeling, and specialized archaeological characterization, to undertake comprehensive diagnostic study processes. The convergence of these diverse methodologies lays a robust foundation for a holistic diagnostic study. This endeavor serves not only academic curiosity but becomes the cornerstone upon which strategies for compatible conservation and restoration interventions are erected. In the intricate interplay between historical preservation and the imperatives of progress, these methodologies form a bridge. This bridge links the architectural magnificence of the Madrasa with the imperatives of safeguarding it in a rapidly changing world. The ultimate aspiration of this multidisciplinary approach is twofold: to ensure the enduring protection of the Marinid Madrasa and other archaeological remnants against the erosive forces of time and urban development, and to forge a narrative that sensitively navigates the challenges posed by preserving cultural heritage in the face of modernity. In this endeavor, advanced technologies are interwoven with a profound recognition of the historical, social, and cultural significance of these sites, ultimately charting a course that not only conserves architectural brilliance but also honors the profound stories they encapsulate across the epochs.

This paper discusses the challenges faced by Emirati students enrolled in a private university in the United Arab Emirates. In particular, the study focuses on the development of their academic writing skills. It uses data collected from composition papers written in a semester through the online platform. The data was collected from undergraduate engineering and information technology students and it reports findings of a study examining the effectiveness of promoting Arabic speakers’ development of critical and analytical thinking skills using a content with a content-based approach. The data is discussed in relation to development of academic language in an English course through application of skills in an essay format. This study attempts to highlight the value of content-based approach through instructional practices and designing of online authentic assessment tasks. Two groups of engineering and computer science students participated in three different written assessments in the study. Six essay topics were designed considering students linguistic and societal factors. Data were collected via online assessments. The findings revealed significant improvements in the students’ academic writing scores and considerable reduction in plagiarism cases was also found. The quantitative and qualitative examination show positive impact of active participation in the online learning platform. Based on these findings, instructional suggestions and caveats are provided.

What does it mean to be “safe,” and what does it mean to be “endangered”? Who defines these terms, why, and what does this act of definition allow them to do? In December 2016, a conference entitled Safeguarding Endangered Cultural Heritage took place in Abu Dhabi, organized jointly by the governments of the United Arab Emirates and France, and held under the patronage of UNESCO. The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Shaykh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was in attendance, as was French President François Hollande and the Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova; many other dignitaries joined them. The diplomatic spectacle was a sight to behold. The assembled, distinctly elite, group seemed to have given itself sole authority to speak for and about cultural heritage around the world.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced higher education institutions (HEI) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and globally to hastily rework their systems and become more innovative in their online teaching and learning approach. This chapter presents the conceptual basis for understanding, analyzing, and designing an informed implementation plan for new e-learning systems in the UAE. Rogers' (2003) Diffusion Innovation Theory is used to assess which factors affect the UAE’s public higher education institutions’ intention and ability to adopt e-learning during the COVID-19 era. It is determined, to lower complexities the pandemic presents and promote the UAE’s post-crisis growth, public HEI must rework their traditional higher education model while safeguarding the UAE’s social and cultural standards for e-learning. Overall, with the observed benefits of increased access and developing a new generation of technologically skilled creative thinkers, the UAE’s advanced infrastructure is equipped and ready to become a global hub for e-learning.

Plant integrity is loosely defined as assurance that there will be no "loss of containment", that all safeguarding systems act in the desired manner at the proper time and that the equipment is being operated within predefined limits, not necessarily design limits, that are necessary to assure continued operation from one major shutdown to the next. There are two approaches to managing plant integrity, the first being a reactive approach which tends to correct threats to integrity as they occur and the second being a "business process" approach. The business process approach to managing integrity is a proactive way of managing integrity in which failure modes are anticipated and the proper safeguards are put in place to prevent degradation or failure. In most cases, a combination of the two approaches is necessary to bring a plant back to the original level of integrity. The reactive mode is for correcting known problems and then business processes must be implemented in order to prevent future deterioration of plant integrity. Typically, an integrity review for a plant is carried out over 2–3 weeks by a multi-discipline team of technical experts well versed in the development and application of business processes.Typical business processes that have been developed for managing integrity include the following:Risk Based Inspection (RBI) which defines the interval between inspection of vessels and piping thus assuring that the more critical pieces of equipment are inspected over shorter intervals and less critical pieces over longer intervals.Defect Elimination, which is a process that captures incidents, determines the root cause with a structured root cause analysis and then based on business premises, establishes the best solution for the problem.Competency Assurance, which assures that personnel who operate and maintain the plant meet minimum standards of competency appropriate for the job they are doing.Integrity Operating Windows, which is a process, associated with RBI that defines the allowable limits of operating variables (not mechanical design limits) for critical equipment such that operation within the limits assures integrity for the interval between inspections.A thorough understanding of the fundamentals of Risk Management forms the basis of most of these business processes and is therefore also a critical ingredient of modern integrity management.IntroductionShell Global Solutions, International (Shell GSI), is a technical organisation consisting of approximately 2500 staff with the main offices in The Netherlands (Amsterdam and The Hague) and Houston with additional offices strategically located around the globe. Shell GSI provide technical, project, HSE and consultancy services not only to Shell operating companies around the world, but also to non-Shell companies including many of the state owned oil companies throughout the world. The Shell GSI consultancy organisation exists as an integrated group of over 200 staff providing consultancy services in the areas of Hydrocarbon Management, Asset Management, Health, Safety and Environment Management, Operations Management and Benchmarking.The Asset Management specialists provide a range of maintenance, reliability and integrity services and have an extensive international customer base including many in the Arabian Gulf region.Although Shell Global Solutions is a relatively new organisation (in existence approximately 5 years), one trend that has become apparent in the past few years is an increased interest in improved "Plant Integrity" by Shell and non-Shell customers alike. A number of recent high profile incidents involving loss of containment with resultant fires, loss of life and damage to assets seems to have precipitated some of this increased interest.

The official commemorative coins have exhibited an extraordinary increase in price during the last ten years. This has been accompanied by a commensurate increase in the sale of new issues. In 1973 alone, the Israeli Treasury generated a net profit of over 5 million dollars from the sale of commemorative coins. The Bank of Israel was interested in safeguarding the future profit generating potential of minting new coins and in learning how decisions relating to minting policy influence the long-range profits. Therefore, (1) the relationship between various coin characteristics and economic data, and the market price of old issues, as well as (2) the relationship between the profit from a new issue and the gains experienced from older issues and other coin characteristics, were determined using regression analysis. Based on the above, a dynamic model was constructed to show the relationship between the controllable variables (various minting policies) and the long-range present value of the net profit to be generated by them. Since the derivation of an optimal analytic solution seemed infeasible, several minting policies were simulated, and as a result a set of improved policies recommended.

Client advocacy refers to various expressions of taking a stand such as representing and supporting the interests of clients and of populations with special needs, informing them of their rights in particular situations, making sure they have all the necessary information to make an informed decision, safeguarding their rights, and promoting legislation, policy and social awareness that may affect care and quality of life through education and public activism. The purpose of the present study is to examine situations in which occupational therapists identify the need for their involvement on behalf of clients, and identify factors that affect their behaviour when they protect, represent or inform clients about their rights. In-depth ethnographic interviews were conducted with 12 Israeli registered occupational therapists representing a variety of professional specializations and work settings. From the analysis of the results three main themes were identified as follows: a) the interviewees view themselves as “guardians of morals” in relation to personal, professional and social misconduct, b) occupational therapists become advocates when mediation is needed to represent clients' functional abilities, and c) the role of client advocacy is affected and shaped by occupational therapists' perceptions and experiences of the interdisciplinary team.

Abstract In this article the adequacy of social insurance benefits is addressed from the perspective of eight fundamental goals of social insurance. With respect to these goals, the legislated level of the benefit and other conditions represent tools to achieve adequate levels of benefits vis‐à‐vis contributory effort. The goals address income risks of various sorts: (i) income compensation; (ii) securing a decent standard of living; (iii) universality, implying simplicity and a high takeup of social rights; (iv) reducing income risk deriving from physical incapacity; (v) safeguarding insurability by balancing the expected payoff to the insured and the value of the contributions paid over the lifetime; (vi) intergenerational equity; (vii) containing work and savings disincentives; and (viii) risk reduction (prevention). A simple model serves to clarify what is needed to achieve benefit adequacy together with insurability and contribution adequacy. An example of income support in working age, based on Israeli data, illustrates the use of specific instruments to achieve a decent standard of living while containing economic disincentives. The example stresses the importance of synchronizing efforts with institutions outside the social insurance system.

Over more than a century, Palestinian cultural heritage has been managed by several different administrations. Each of these has had its own methods of management, protection, research, and distinct political purpose, making Palestinian cultural heritage one of the most intensively abused, excavated and subsequently disturbed worldwide. In accordance with the Oslo Accords (1993-1995), the Palestinian Authority took over responsibility for archaeology in Areas “A” and “B”, representing about 40% of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. In spite of this inequity, it was the first time that the Palestinian people were given an opportunity to manage their own heritage. This paper attempts to discuss these issues and their negative impact on archaeological sites in the Hebron district. Special attention will be given to the state of cultural heritage since the Oslo Accords, when Palestinian cultural heritage started being operated by two contested administrations: the Palestinian Department of Antiquities in areas “A and B”, and the Israeli Staff Officer for Archaeology in area “C”. Clandestine excavations, illicit trafficking and the state of conservation of Palestinian cultural heritage are also explored to demonstrate the protection, conservation and development dynamics of archaeological sites in this area and how this dually contested management tremendously affects safeguarding of the heritage in the Hebron area. Illegal Israeli excavations, so-called “salvage excavations”, and the devastating impact of the separation wall on archaeological sites and the cultural landscape are also briefly discussed. تمت ادارة التراث الثقافي الفلسطيني من قبل ادارات متعددة منذ أكثر من قرن، وكان لكل واحدة منها طرقها الخاصة في التدبير والحماية والأهداف البحثية والسياسية، ما جعل المواقع الأثرية الفلسطينية واحدة من أكثر المواقع الأثرية تضررا في العالم، وأكثرها تعرضًا للحفريات الأثرية العلمية وغير العلمية. فوفقا لاتفاقيات السلام الفلسطينية- الاسرائيلية (1993 – 1995) تتولى السلطة الفلسطينية مسؤولياتها عن الآثار في مناطق "ألف" و"باء"، التي تمثل حوالي 40٪ من الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة. وبالرغم من هذا العائق، الا انها كانت المرة الأولى التي يتولى فيها الشعب الفلسطيني إدارة تراثه بنفسه.تحاول هذه الورقة مناقشة هذه القضايا وتأثيرها السلبي على حفظ المواقع الأثرية في منطقة الخليل وحمايتها، وسيتم إيلاء اهتمام خاص لحالة ووضع تراثها الأثري بعد اتفاقيات اوسلو، وذلك بعدما أصبح التراث الثقافي في الاراضي الفلسطينية يدار من قبل إدارتين متناقضتين، هما: دائرة الآثار الفلسطينية في المناطق "ألف وباء" ، وضابط الآثار الإسرائيلي في منطقة "جيم". اضافة لذلك تتناول الورقة الحفريات غير الشرعية والاتجار غير المشروع في الآثار الفلسطينية، وكذلك كيفية الحفاظ على التراث الثقافي الفلسطيني، وذلك من خلال تسليط الضوء على سياسات الحماية والحفاظ وديناميات تطوير المواقع الأثرية في منطقة الخليل، ومحاولة تتبع تأثيرات الإدارة المزدوجة على تراثها الثقافي. علاوة على ذلك، تم ابراز تأثير الحفريات الإسرائيلية غير المشروعة- المعروفة بـ "الحفريات الإنقاذية"- على وضعية الآثار ومن ثم التطرق للتأثيرات المدمرة للجدار الفاصل على المواقع الأثرية والمشهد الثقافي في منطقة الخليل.

A peaceful solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that has not yet been reached should be of international concern, including parliament. Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA), as the inter-parliamentary organization of Asian countries, needs to take a role in supporting a peaceful solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. APA’s role, in line with the concept of network diplomacy, is to strengthen diplomacy networks among MPs of APA countries, as well as with other MPs in international fora, aimed at safeguarding the Palestinian-Israeli peace process should be in progress and peace talks can be resumed. APA’s role was run through diplomatic activity in scope of the APA meetings and beyond APA forum, particularly in the inter-parliamentary forum. APA’s role, with its diplomatic network, is important to support the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, although it does not directly resolve the conflict. This paper discusses the role of APA.

Although traditionally viewed as paragons of international cooperation, research institutions and universities are becoming venues for hostile foreign activity. Research security (RS) refers to the measures that protect the inputs, processes, and products that are part of scientific research, inquiry, and discovery. While RS traces its roots to the 1940s, global economic and research and development competition, the nexus between dual-use technology and military power, a cluster of newly emerging industries, scientific responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and societal shifts towards digitization, combine to challenge RS in unique ways. With an eye on safeguarding traditional notions of open science, our article refurbishes Canadian RS within the context of emerging challenges and international responses. Detailing the legal, extralegal, illegal, and other ways in which RS is threatened, we use a comparative assessment of emerging responses in the US, Australia, Japan, and Israel to draw lessons for Canada.

The goal of this paper is to question the idea of authenticity in the tourist industry, using the Old City of Akko (north Israel) as a case study. It will question the ability of tourism to serve as a tool for preserving living-cultural- heritage. Is there "authenticity" in tourism? Is cultural-based-tourism a means of preserving intangible heritage? Does cultural-based-heritage recreate heritage, invent heritage or is it just a means of creating experiences? Situated on a peninsula in North Israel, the old city of Akko is a vertical of many historical layers, from 5000 years ago till date. Imprints of tangible heritage from all periods and living intangible cultural heritage entwine with each other in the ancient allies of the city. Intensive excavations uncovered massive Middle-aged Crusader remains dated to the 12th and 13th century. They lie beneath the existing Ottoman fortified city, constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Akko of today is a vibrant city. Residents reside within these Ottoman buildings constructed 300 years ago. Updated research indicates that the cultural heritage of Akko includes many additional values. These include intangible heritage values that are practiced by these residents in the historic allies. This ‘Living Heritage’ is linked to the current community of the city and represents the ‘continuity’ of traditions and practices that comprise living dimensions and the continuity of traditions, skills, and craftspeople. Successful scientific research methods, documentation and safeguarding procedures of these intangible values are still developing. This paper will present examples of intangible heritage in the Historical Urban Landscapes of Akko and will question the ability of new touristic initiatives as a means of preserving this heritage and the spirit of the city. Some of these examples are led by the locals but most of the new initiatives are belong to entrepreneurs new to the city. They all offer an authentic experience in the city. They suggest a combination of visits to the main tourist attractions developed by the authorities and an opportunity to encounter living-traditional-culture aspects in the city. They include tours with local guides, living-in local houses, participating-in local traditional meals with the residents, meeting and watching various craftsmen or joining traditional community events. For tourists, these are unique opportunities that could be called "authentic experiences". For tourist experts these experiences are often regarded as means to present rare cultural heritage aspects. For the authorities, these experiences are regarded as new development resources and tools. For the locals these are new economic opportunities. So, is this a win-win-win-win situation? Are these initiatives means to preserve and safeguard the authentic intangible heritage values and the unique spirit of the city?

Safeguarding patient records has always been a major concern for hospitals, but it has taken on added importance with increasing computerization that makes it easier for employees to browse medical charts, usually to check on the condition of a fellow worker, friend, or neighbor. In an effort to make records more secure, two hospitals--the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Madison, and Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA--have included an audit trail in their computer security systems to let them know who is accessing them. Such methods to safeguard electronic records and better protect patients' privacy were strongly recommended in March 1997 by a panel of the National Research Council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences. In this report, we'll present details of how these hospitals are proceeding.

The harm caused by child sexual abuse (CSA) is well-documented, calling for more awareness and efforts at prevention. However, CSA in closed religious societies is still tightly under wraps, and therefore underreported and understudied. We chose to use the mother's point of view, in order get an estimate of the prevalence, the reporting rates and their psychological wellbeing. The current study aims at addressing this in the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community, an insular religious one, which may thus serve as a test case for understanding other closed, religious communities. Three hundred forty-seven ultra-Orthodox Israeli women completed self-report questionnaires and reported on their, or their children's exposure to CSA sexual abuse, about their emotional coping, and about considerations regarding disclosing the abuse. About 24% the participants reported that they were victims of sexual abuse. Only 24.3% of cases were reported to the police or official welfare services, with cultural reasons offered by the women to explain it. Lower psychological wellbeing was found among mothers who themselves or their children were victims of child sexual abuse, compared to controls. Interestingly, mothers who reported having undergone psychological treatment suffered a higher degree of distress than those who had not. These findings contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of sexual abuse exposure and disclosure in the ultraorthodox community, and in close societies and highlight the changes required to improve safeguarding of children.

There have hitherto been inconclusive findings pertinent to the causes of high failure rates of international joint ventures (IJVs). More intriguingly, even if IJV partners have had repeatedly satisfactory contractual relationships, the chances of safeguarding transactions with IJVs are slim. Our study sheds new light on the impacts of organizational members’ social identities on the longevity and success of IJVs. We utilize an embedded case study of one West German and one Israeli company between which cooperative interfirm relationship evolves from market contracts to establishing an IJV in East Germany. The unique context of this study is a natural experiment in which organizational members with clear ingroup-outgroup boundaries (e.g., national and subnational groups) are embedded in the developmental process of cooperative interfirm relationships. We argue that national groups confer distinctive value connotation on ingroup members whose ethnocentric attitudes and behaviors undermine hierarchical coordination. Therefore, frictions inherent in individuals’ ethnocentrism yield adverse selection, moral hazard, cheating, and hold-up that generate coordination costs. Our observations suggest that competition for power, group relative deprivation, symbolic threat, and historical animosity give rise to intergroup conflicts, impeding relational cooperation. Our study extends our understanding of how social identities of IJV partners impact coordination and collaboration.

תקציר בעברית: פרק זה עוסק בתפקידם של לשכות פרטיות בענף החקלאות והסיעוד ותאגידי כוח אדם להעסקת עובדים זרים בענף הבניין שמהווים חלק חשוב במערך ההעסקה של מהגרי עבודה בישראל בענפים אלה. תפקידן של הלשכות והתאגידים עוצב במסגרת רפורמה בהסדר הכבילה. הפרק מציג את הפער שבין תפקידם המיועד של גופים אלה לשמש כגורמים שמסייעים בהגנה על זכויות העובדים ומאפשרים את מעבר העובדים ממעסיק למעסיק בשוק העבודה, לבין המציאות בפועל במסגרתה הם משרתים בעיקר את האינטרסים של המעסיקים. ניגוד אינטרסים זה מביא לכך שהם אינם ממלאים את תפקידם כמי שיכלו להוות חוליה במניעת ניצול חריף של עובדים וסחר בבני אדם. English Abstract: This chapter discusses the role of placement agencies in the agriculture and care sectors and manpower agencies in the construction industry. These agencies form a vital part of the employment infrastructure for migrant workers in Israel in their respective sectors. These bodies were designed to regulate the migrant labor market and to privatize enforcement, and they have also become part of a system to prevent illegal residence. They act as a supervising body that enforces labor and employment regulations, while, at the same timey, are also supposed to be assisting in safeguarding the workers’ rights. This chapter presents the discrepancy between the intended role of these organizations in —supporting workers, protecting their rights and enabling their mobility in the labor market, and the reality on the ground, where they primarily serve the interests of employers. This conflict of interest ultimately means that the agencies fail to fulfill their role in contributing to the prevention of severe exploitation and human trafficking.

Ten years ago, our editorial (Appleton and Stanley, 2008) reinforced the message that safeguarding children and young people is the responsibility of everyone. This issue is as pertinent today as it was then, and all professionals working with children and young people must receive training and know how to recognise, assess and respond to the signs of child abuse and neglect (HM Government, 2018; NICE, 2017). An important part of working with children and families is not only being clear about our own role, but also having a good understanding of the role and expertise of other professionals; this is crucially important to ensure a shared responsibility and effective joint working between organisations, agencies and practitioners (HM Government, 2018). This also involves being clear about and complying with both statutory and local safeguarding children policies, procedures and arrangements (HM Government, 2018). Working together extends also to education and knowledge sharing. BASPCAN is a registered charity and a membership association for all child protection professional groups across the UK providing education for those working to safeguard children and young people and professional development opportunities, while also seeking to educate and inform the general public. ‘An important part of working with children and families is… having a good understanding of the role and expertise of other professionals’ This issue opens with a report by Joanna Garstang and Frances Griffiths (2018) examining how police, health and social care professionals now work together using the joint agency approach, which was introduced in England in 2008, to investigate sudden unexpected child deaths. This paper is part of a wider mixed-methods study evaluating the new joint agency approach to sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI). In this research, police officers (11), paediatricians (10), specialist nurses (3) and social workers (2) were interviewed, all of whom had a range of experience of SUDI cases. The key theme emerging from this research was that while joint agency working enabled a thorough investigation by professionals of the circumstances of the child's death, it could be challenging to remain sensitive to the needs of bereaved families. However, the majority of respondents were positive about the new joint agency approach, in particular joint home visits and interviews conducted by police and paediatricians, where their roles were perceived as complementing each other; giving inquiries a medical rather than a police focus. Yet the study also highlighted some of the difficulties of joint agency working and included in some cases poor liaison with coroners and difficulties in engaging social care, for example, in only nine of 23 cases was there any representation from social care in both the initial information-sharing meeting and the final case discussion. The authors conclude that while the national joint agency approach appears to be a thorough process for investigating SUDI, it ‘could be improved by closer joint agency working and information sharing, and more support and training for professionals’ (p. 429). ‘Examing how police, health and social care professionals now work together… to investigate sudden unexpected child deaths’ The second paper in this issue by Kevin Borg and Jane Barlow (2018) reports on a study from Malta which explored the experiences, perceptions and attitudes of paediatricians about child protection work. This paper reinforces the important role that paediatricians have in the multiagency team response to an allegation or concern about child maltreatment. Borg and Barlow (2018) conducted a mixed-methods study, using an explanatory sequential design. An initial cross-sectional survey was distributed to all paediatricians and paediatric trainees (56) employed in the Maltese NHS, which achieved an excellent response rate of 95 per cent (n = 53). This was then followed up by qualitative interviews with five paediatricians to gain more in-depth data. Respondents highlighted child protection work as complex, stressful and emotive, and concerns were raised about the negative consequences of getting things wrong in this type of work. Respondents reported an absence of formal training, with 77 per cent reporting that they had never received training in child protection. These findings are similar to those reported by Jedwab and Benbenishty (2017) and Candler et al. (2016) in their respective studies of Israeli and Kenyan paediatricians. While the majority reported having assessed a child maltreatment case, 29 per cent had never assessed a case of sexual abuse and 33 per cent had never assessed a case of emotional abuse. Unsurprisingly, many participants were under-confident in taking a history and examining a child in these cases when compared with physical abuse and neglect. The majority of participants reported that local reporting procedures and response/care pathways were unclear, and that they were often not involved in tasks relating to child protection beyond the initial identification stage, as the designated consultant took on this role; so the learning opportunities were less than ideal. Indeed, 72 per cent reported never having participated in interagency activities such as child protection conference meetings. While respondents appeared to be reassured by having a designated consultant to refer cases to, Borg and Barlow (2018) suggest that this may result in paediatricians ‘using this role to offload responsibility’ (p. 462). Borg and Barlow (2018) highlight the absence of mandatory and statutory guidelines within Malta, resulting in ‘suboptimal practice with regard to child protection’ (p. 464). The study findings reinforce the need in Malta for ‘a robust structure that ensures that child protection is everybody's responsibility’ (Borg and Barlow, 2018, p. 462) and the establishment of safeguarding teams of different professionals to work together in cases of child maltreatment. ‘Reinforces the important role that paediatricians have in the multiagency team response to an allegation or concern about child maltreatment’ The short report in this issue by Jeremy Gibson and colleagues (2018) from the Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Derby City Council in England returns to a problem frequently highlighted in the literature, that of involving general practitioners (GPs: a group of doctors who work in practices in the community) in child protection conferences and increasing their attendance and contribution at these important meetings. To improve joint working between children's social care and local GPs, a local evaluation was undertaken to formally review GP child protection conference reports and their level of attendance at child protection conferences. This small evaluation gathered data from GP safeguarding leads from 11 separate GP practices, referring to initial child protection conference (ICPC) minutes and reporting on GP involvement in 52 ICPCs. Additionally, the local authority was requested to analyse ICPC data retrospectively over two separate periods in 2016 and 2017. This evaluation highlighted three key local problems: GPs not receiving invitations to attend ICPCs; GPs not receiving requests for reports for ICPCs; and difficulties for children's social care in identifying which GP practice a child was registered with ahead of an ICPC. Despite children's social care having emailed Primary Care Support England on a generic email address to determine which GP practice the child was registered with, none of these emails received a response. So, often children's social care did not know which GP practice a child was registered with before a child protection conference. Unsurprisingly, Gibson et al. (2018) found that GPs attended less than four per cent of the ICPCs studied. ‘Often children's social care did not know which GP practice a child was registered with before a child protection conference’ While small in scale, what is useful about this short report is that it details some practical initiatives implemented in response to these findings ‘in an attempt to improve information sharing between local GPs and children's social care, and to increase GP involvement in ICPCs’ (Gibson et al., 2018, p. 472). These included initially working with one general practice to develop an electronic self-populating ICPC report embedded in the electronic health record SystmOne and a safeguarding template for SystmOne, which is an area in the patient's records where all relevant safeguarding information for a child is held. Other initiatives include: introducing the option of GPs joining in meetings by teleconference; and children's social care now inviting GPs to attend ICPCs by emailing a generic practice email address which each practice checks daily during working days. This list is maintained by the CCG and shared with children's social care. The fourth paper in this issue by Carolyne Ajema and colleagues (2018) from Nairobi, Kenya, also draws on retrospective data from a review of the records of 164 child survivors of sexual abuse as part of an exploratory study assessing the range and quality of health services provided to these children. The study was undertaken in one rural and one urban public health facility in two counties in Kenya. Additional data collection methods included interviews with 31 healthcare providers who attend to cases of sexual abuse, including nurses, physicians, social workers, pharmacists, counsellors, laboratory technologists and administrators, a health facility staff inventory, and 19 exit interviews with 14 child survivors and their caregivers. In a similar vein to the study by Borg and Barlow (2018), few providers (only 2 out of 581) had undertaken training specifically in the management of child survivors of sexual abuse, and only nine per cent had attended a three-day training programme on the management of gender-based violence using national guidance, thus lacking the knowledge of how to respond to the needs of child survivors of sexual abuse. While national guidance and protocols exist on the management of survivors of sexual violence, all the healthcare providers stated that these protocols were not child-specific. This study highlights one of the problems of relying on data from a retrospective review of medical records as data were missing from the records of child survivors of sexual abuse, yet it was not possible to determine whether missing data for prophylactic treatment related ‘to the lack of documentation despite services having been provided’ (Ajema et al., 2018, p. 483) or that the children had never actually received the services. Indeed, none of the child survivors who participated in the exit interviews had received the minimum package of care which should be available, including: injury management; prophylactic treatment (emergency contraceptives, HIV, PEP, STI drugs); counselling; evidence collection and analysis; documentation on the medico-legal form; and referral to other non-health-related services. Furthermore, survivor and caregiver satisfaction were closely related to waiting times at the two hospitals. Ajema et al.'s (2018) research also reported a lack of facilities available for examinations with no private rooms in one of the hospitals, and difficulties in collecting forensic evidence because of the lack of essential equipment and basic lockable storage cupboards. The research highlights health system and service delivery gaps in the management of cases where children have been sexually abused. These authors conclude their study by arguing that ‘there is a need for health facilities to enhance their human resource and infrastructural capacity to facilitate the delivery of comprehensive care to child survivors’ (p. 475) of sexual abuse. ‘Highlights health system and service delivery gaps in the management of cases where children have been sexually abused’ ‘processes where children, communities and other stakeholders can contribute to both defining protection concerns and creating response mechanisms that are realistic, culturally appropriate and draw on the strengths and capacities which already exist within communities.’ ( Walker-Simpson, 2017, p. 260) ‘would demonstrate an absence of ambivalence by assigning almost exclusively positive messages to their preferred parent and overwhelmingly negative messages to their target parent, supporting the notion that parental alienation leads to splitting’ ( Blagg and Godfrey, 2018, p. 489). The study findings supported these hypotheses, although the neglected/emotionally abused children showed a propensity to idealise their parents despite the abuse that they had suffered. Blagg and Godfrey (2018) note that children and young people's expressed views about their parents in the family courts are often cited as a reason to promote or resist contact with a parent. They conclude by arguing that their findings show that there is a ‘need for in-depth multimodal psychological assessments’ (Blagg and Godfrey, 2018, p. 486) to determine children's ascertainable wishes. ‘Neglected/emotionally abused children showed a propensity to idealise their parents despite the abuse that they had suffered’ This issue includes two training updates. Ro Gordon (2018) reviews the first update Understanding Animal Welfare in Violent Homes which is on a freely available e-learning module by the Links Group and Virtual College. Gordon's (2018) review is mixed in its appraisal and indicates that whilst the module is interesting, the information included about the abuse of children or vulnerable adults is inadequate to provide those people with a background in animal welfare ‘with a really solid safeguarding base’ (p. 498). The second training update Self-Harm and Suicidal Thoughts in Children and Young People, also developed by the Virtual College, is reviewed by Alison Cocks (2018). This e-learning programme is described as particularly suitable for workers who are new to work with children and young people and who need an introduction to issues of self-harm and suicidal ideation. Cocks (2018) suggests that the module's strengths relate to the presentation of warning signs to look out for and risk factors that might be present. E-learning training resources that include guidance on child abuse and neglect reporting can help practitioners to be better equipped to communicate with other professionals and agencies on child safeguarding matters.

This paper reviews legislation relating to the safeguarding and management of Oman's diverse archaeological resource. It focuses on the National Heritage Protection Law (NHPL), other national legislation and regulations, and international conventions signed by the Omani Government. It also discusses the extent to which these existing legislative tools support the management of the nation's archaeological resource and the socio-economic changes that are taking place in the country. The paper also examines whether the legislation in place is apt for purposes of identification, management, conservation, research and for development planning needs. Certain concerns are raised. For example, the NHPL has not been amended since it was issued in 1980 and the issue of archaeology protection is absent from related national laws, especially those covering activities related to the environment, municipalities, mining and tourism. What also emerges is that current legislation has not fully been implemented by the relevant organisations, which consequently has negatively affected Oman's archaeological resource management. Finally, the paper proposes the evaluation of all the legislative tools that govern archaeological practice in Oman. It also urges an updating of the NHPL in accordance with new theoretical and practical changes.

Botanic gardens in the Arabian Peninsula and adjacent countries, along with institutions such as museums, universities and research centres, have long played a major role in the exploration, identification and conservation of this region’s flora and vegetation. The primary aim of botanic gardens in the past was to study the plant world from the horticultural point of view and to cultivate plants of economic or medicinal importance. However, at present, particularly in arid regions such as the Arabian Peninsula, the activities of botanic gardens are focused primarily on (i) the study and exploration of the region’s rapidly vanishing flora, thereby safeguarding gene pools of wild species, and (ii) the assessment and preservation of species that may be of importance to humans and animals for food, medicines, fibre and amenity. Recently established botanic gardens in the region, including the proposed King Abdullah International Gardens in Riyadh and Oman Botanic Garden near Muscat, will enhance existing conservation activities concerning the ailing and rapidly vanishing floristic components of the Arabian Peninsula.

As a developing country, the Sultanate of Oman finds it relatively challenging to balance foreign investment protection whilst safeguarding its national sovereignty and interests; however, it recognizes the importance of providing the necessary legal protection for foreign investors. This is the first study to examine foreign investment protection in Oman. It identifies existing guarantees and weaknesses in protecting foreign investment within the Omani legal system and establishes how this level of protection could be enhanced from a legal perspective. It examines the extent of Oman’s existing legal obligations under the terms of the multilateral and bilateral investment agreements to which it is a signatory, to examine the role they play in safeguarding foreign investors’ rights. It also investigates the effectiveness of Oman’s dispute settlement mechanisms for resolving foreign investment disputes. Oman’s administrative policies and practices relating to foreign investment are analysed in order to pinpoint any shortcomings in the current system for enforcing foreign investment legislation. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are made which are intended to improve the protection offered to foreign investment in Oman whilst allowing Oman the necessary degree of protection to its own public policy space. This study concludes that Oman have taken the approach to provide adequate legal protection for foreign investment. In addition, in the context of the development of international investment law, the Al-Tamimi case in particular illustrates the need for Omani legislation and legal practice to strike a balance between protecting foreign investors' rights and safeguarding national interests. Moreover, Oman cannot reduce any guarantees in its international agreements, particularly with regard to seeking international dispute resolution, unless it can guarantee an efficient national legal system and dispute resolution mechanism. Whilst improved legal protection plays an important role in attracting foreign investment, this needs to be part of a broader strategy aimed at making the Sultanate a desirable destination for overseas investors. Thus, this study recommends that in order to enhance protection for current foreign investors and attract future investment Oman needs to establish a specialised investment council with a unified policy, making it easy to do business in the Sultanate. This initiative needs to be supported by a new national arbitration centre in Oman and training to upskill the Omani judges and workforce.

In the Arabian Peninsula, the Dhofar region is rich in camels. This national wealth has always been administered by traditional nomadic pastoral management, which must have evolved in Oman with the introduction of camels as domesticates in prehistoric times. In this region, camels have always depended on the free grazing system which is governed by tribal territoriality. Today, Dhofar is experiencing an extensive process of development. Land value has increased immensely, to the extent that it cannot be used for camel pastoralism. Furthermore, traditional camel management has always been directed to meet requirements of a subsistence economy. It has never managed to convert to the organization of political economy. This paper intends to raise the alarm that national wealth is endangered by certain challenges. The paper proposes certain ideas that might assist in safeguarding and investing in a national asset.

ABSTRACT: A comprehensive study was conducted to implement the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) for urban areas in Kuwait. The updated version of the model designed to run on an IBM Personal Computer and compatibles (PCSWMM3.2C) was utilized. The study revealed that urban runoff simulation in arid areas by the SWMM model is a powerful and efficient tool in designing drainage systems and as such, a viable replacement of the commonly used rational method. It was found that only the streets and paved areas that are hydraulically connected to the drainage system contribute to runoff. Fine and coarse discretization approaches were used in the study. The difference between the hydrographs simulated by the two approaches were relatively small. The performance of the existing drainage system and the accuracy of the design method used were tested using a 25‐year storm. The result of the simulation revealed that the storm sewers were oversized by factors ranging from 1.2 to 3.6. The SWMM model was used to estimate the storm water runoff volume collected from all urbanized areas in Kuwait City. The annual expected harvested runoff water was found to be significant; however, the quality of runoff water needs to be assessed before a decision is made on its reuse.

This paper describes the results of benchmark testing of land use change impact on direct runoff using Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) model in two ungauged neighbouring urban watersheds (Çınar and Kadıyakuplu) in Istanbul, Turkey. To examine this impact, the model was applied to daily rainfall data using three different dated (1982, 1996 and 2012) hydrological soil groups and land use of the two ungauged urban watersheds. Finally, the impact of land use change and model performance were evaluated with the rainfall-runoff regression, the coefficient of determination and the NSE test using benchmark runoff data based on 1982 land use conditions. The results of the analysis indicate that the changing of land use types from natural surfaces to impervious surfaces has a significant impact on surface runoff. Additionally, remarkable spatial variations of the land use changes and their impact on the runoff in 1996 and 2012 were more detected in the Çınar watershed compared with the Kadıyakuplu watershed. The planning decision on land use of the watersheds, has vital role in these differences. The results of this research also reveal that change to intensive land use in urban watersheds has a significantly larger impact on runoff generation than those rainfall.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the low impact development (LID) practices on sustainable urban flood storm water management. We applied three LID techniques, i.e. green roof, permeable pavements and bioretention cells, on a highly urbanized watershed in Istanbul, Turkey. The EPA-SWMM was used as a hydrologic-hydraulic model and the model calibration was performed by the well-known Parameter ESTimation (PEST) tool. The rainfall-runoff events occurred between 2012 and 2020. A sensitivity analysis on the parameter selection was applied to reduce the computational cost. The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSE) was used as the objective function and it was calculated as 0.809 in the model calibration. The simulations were conducted for six different return periods of a storm event, i.e. 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years, in which the synthetic storm event hyetographs were produced by means of the alternating block method. The results revealed that the combination of green roof and permeable pavements have the major impact on both the peak flood reduction and runoff volume reduction compared to the single LIDs. The maximum runoff reduction percentage was obtained as 56.02% for a 10 years return period of a storm event in the combination scenario.

The land development and increase in urbanization in a watershed affect water quantity and water quality. Especially, uncontrolled urbanization causes flood and poor water quality which results in an increase in peak flow rate and in Total Suspended Solid (TSS) concentration. Low Impact Development (LID) is a Best Management Practice (BMP) and land planning method which may be used to manage storm water runoff in order to reduce flooding as well as simultaneously improve water quality. In this study, the impact of "LID-BMP" on surface runoff and TSS is investigated by employing a calibrated hydrodynamic model for Sazlıdere Watershed which is located in Istanbul, Turkey. For this purpose, a calibrated hydrodynamic model was developed by using Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (EPA SWMM). For model calibration and validation, a rain gauge and a flow meter are set into the field and rainfall and flow rate data are obtained. And then, several LID types are selected such as retention basins, vegetative swales and permeable pavement and their influence on peak flow rate and pollutant buildup and washoff for TSS are obtained. Consequently, the possible effects of LID on surface runoff and TSS in Sazlıdere Watershed are observed.

The land development and increase in urbanization in a watershed affect water quantity and water quality. On one hand, urbanization provokes the adjustment of geomorphic structure of the streams, ultimately raises peak flow rate which causes flood; on the other hand, it diminishes water quality which results in an increase in Total Suspended Solid (TSS). Consequently, sediment accumulation in downstream of urban areas is observed which is not preferred for longer life of dams. In order to overcome the sediment accumulation problem in dams, the amount of TSS in streams and in watersheds should be taken under control. Low Impact Development (LID) is a Best Management Practice (BMP) which may be used for this purpose. It is a land planning and engineering design method which is applied in managing storm water runoff in order to reduce flooding as well as simultaneously improve water quality. LID includes techniques to predict suspended solid loads in surface runoff generated over impervious urban surfaces. In this study, the impact of LID-BMPs on surface runoff and TSS is investigated by employing a calibrated hydrodynamic model for Sazlıdere Watershed which is located in Istanbul, Turkey. For this purpose, a calibrated hydrodynamic model was developed by using Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (EPA SWMM). For model calibration and validation, we set up a rain gauge and a flow meter into the field and obtain rainfall and flow rate data. And then, we select several LID types such as retention basins, vegetative swales and permeable pavement and we obtain their influence on peak flow rate and pollutant buildup and washoff for TSS. Consequently, we observe the possible effects of LID on surface runoff and TSS in Sazlıdere Watershed.

The land development and increase in urbanization in a watershed affect water quantity and water quality. On one hand, urbanization provokes the adjustment of geomorphic structure of the streams, ultimately raises peak flow rate which causes flood; on the other hand, it diminishes water quality which results in an increase in Total Suspended Solid (TSS). Consequently, sediment accumulation in downstream of urban areas is observed which is not preferred for longer life of dams. In order to overcome the sediment accumulation problem in dams, the amount of TSS in streams and in watersheds should be taken under control. Low Impact Development (LID) is a Best Management Practice (BMP) which may be used for this purpose. It is a land planning and engineering design method which is applied in managing storm water runoff in order to reduce flooding as well as simultaneously improve water quality. LID includes techniques to predict suspended solid loads in surface runoff generated over impervious urban surfaces. In this study, the impact of LID-BMPs on surface runoff and TSS is investigated by employing a calibrated hydrodynamic model for Sazlıdere Watershed which is located in Istanbul, Turkey. For this purpose, a calibrated hydrodynamic model was developed by using Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (EPA SWMM). For model calibration and validation, we set up a rain gauge and a flow meter into the field and obtain rainfall and flow rate data. And then, we select several LID types such as retention basins, vegetative swales and permeable pavement and we obtain their influence on peak flow rate and pollutant buildup and washoff for TSS. Consequently, we observe the possible effects of LID on surface runoff and TSS in Sazlıdere Watershed.

Sustainable stormwater management in developing countries requires more research, and budget compared to developed countries. Runoff measurement in small urban watersheds is often not carried out; city plans are made without much consideration of the effect of runoff.In this study, the effect of land use decisions on the surface runoff was assessed using land use change scenarios in an urban catchment located in Izmir, Turkey. Answers to the following two questions were sought: (1) how the runoff will be affected if the city plan decisions currently in use are implemented and (2) whether it is possible to control the runoff in an urban catchment by developing rational, sustainable planning suggestions based on water.The main novelty of this study is to show the importance of the maquis cover, as well as the permeability of the built-up environment and the existence of open spaces in lower catchments are vital in meeting the runoff.

The Low Impact Development (LID) techniques have been found to be advantageous in mimicking the pre-development hydrologic regime of urban and developing watersheds by attempting to preserve or restore the components hydrologic cycle. LID applications are common in humid climates in the northwest, mid-west and eastern portions of the United States but have been limited in the semi-arid climates of southwestern states due to some hydrologic issues. In this paper, a thorough evaluation of alternative approaches to stormwater management has been conducted using CH2M HILL's LIFETM model for a case study in California. This case study provides a brief summary of the results of the LID application and outlines considerations for implementing strategies to reduce the effects of development tand a better understanding of the benefits of implementing LID techniques to minimize the effects of development on stormwater pollution, stream bank erosion, and habitat degradation.

There is an increasing regulatory requirement in the Northwest United States to implement green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) as a means to manage rainfall, decrease long term maintenance costs and lower pollution in water bodies. The West Eugene EmX Extension (WEEE) project has embraced GSI principles and practice and enhanced stormwater quality by using green infrastructure along its 9 mile round trip bus rapid transit (BRT) system route. In this multi-agency jurisdiction and federally funded project, the design team incorporated comprehensive stormwater requirements of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), the City of Eugene and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (U.S. ACOE) while also implementing an infrastructure voluntary evaluation sustainability tool (INVEST) rating system to certify the sustainability of the project design. Nearly 1,500 linear feet of infiltration street-side planters and seven bioretention raingardens were designed to provide treatment for roadway runoff. A unique bioengineering approach was developed to provide bank protection and slope stabilization for the two pedestrian bridges in the project. Construction started in early 2015 and is scheduled to finish by Fall 2017. This paper discusses design approach, challenges and advantages of using green infrastructure in high density mass transit projects and how this can benefit the community and environment.

This paper describes the site evaluation, design, permitting, and construction of a Low Impact Development stormwater management system for a 259-unit residential development on 23.9 hectares (59 acres) in Lebanon County, PA. Stormwater management is achieved by the use of 124 storage/infiltration elements distributed throughout the site. These elements are integrated into the built landscape and include vegetated infiltration beds, pervious concrete sidewalks, vegetated infiltration swales, rain gardens, infiltration beneath standard driveway parking areas, porous asphalt pathways, and similar landscape/stormwater elements. These elements are designed to reduce runoff volume and maintain the natural hydrologic balance. The system is designed such that there is no increase in the volume of runoff after development for the 2-year frequency, 24-hour duration storm event, and no increase in peak flow rates for the 1-year through 100-year storms. One benefit of LID is that projects often incorporate many distributed BMPs to manage stormwater "close to the source." The challenges of developing calculations with traditional engineering, methodologies for a site that includes many volume-control BMPs will also be discussed.

Recent studies have shown that storm-water flows from urban and industrial areas typically contain significant quantities of the same pollutants found in wastewater and industrial discharges. As a result of these studies, EPA has determined that the point-source discharge of urban runoff has to be regulated in some manner. Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program, a state complies by requiring storm-water permits that meet high numerical standards. But EPA may ultimately require technology-based treatment of stormwater, rather than measuring performance by the quality of a particular concentration at the end of the pipe. With that, innovative stormwater management programs are underway around the country. One solution is a strategy known as “best management practices.” BMP is a sweeping storm-water management philosophy, in which engineers consider runoff in the overall design of communities, highways, streets and infrastructure. The objective is to treat runoff as a resource that could recharge grounbd water aquifers and augment irrigation water supplies. Under BMP, runoff is controlled at the surface in detention basins and other drainage structures, meaning there is less need for building expensive treatment plants at the discharge point. BMP is being showcased on a $1.2 billion university campus project near Maakkah, Saudi Arabia.

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive framework for the quantitative management of urban runoff. The framework assesses the response of urban catchments to design rainfall events and identifies low-impact development (LID) stormwater control measures (SCMs) for runoff control and flood mitigation. This research's method determines the optimal areas in which to deploy SCMs to control runoff in urban catchments. The optimization method relies on a three-objective simulation-optimization model that (1) minimizes the volume of runoff at the catchment outlet and at flooding nodes, (2) minimizes the implementation and maintenance costs of LID SCMs, and (3) minimizes the service-performance reduction of LID SCMs. The storm water management model (SWMM) is applied for runoff simulation and is coupled with the multi-objective antlion optimization algorithm (MOALOA). The simulation-optimization method is exemplified with an application to District 6 of Tehran's municipality (Iran). The performance of the simulation-optimization method is compared with that of the multi-objective non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGAII), and, after confirming the superior capacity of the MOALOA, the latter algorithm is applied to District 6 of Tehran municipality, Iran. The identified optimal LID SCMs are ranked with the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method that reveals the preferences of the runoff managers concerning SCMs choices. The most desirable solution herein found shows the optimal LID SCMs provide a significant reduction in runoff volume at the catchment outlet and flooding nodes.

Sustainable urban surface runoff management is receiving increased attention due to environmental and ecological consequences related to urbanization. This study presents a useful new framework for green infrastructure (GI) planning for the management of urban runoff quality and quantity. The proposed framework considers physical, technical, economic, and multi-stakeholder aspects related to urban runoff management while simultaneously addressing the uncertainties of the decision-making process and model parameters. The methodology is applied to regionally locating and sizing low impact development-best management practices (LID-BMPs) while considering the hydrologic and hydraulic impacts. A decision-making multi-objective optimization framework is developed by integrating: 1) a Multi-Layer Perceptron neural network founded on a Storm Water Management Model (SWMM-MLP meta-model), 2) NSGA-II multi-objective optimization, 3) fuzzy α-cut technique, and 4) a decision-making support model based on social choice theory to elicit trade-offs among system cost and LID-BMP performance indicators. The decision-making model, based on Fuzzy Social Choice (FSC) theory, is applied to simulate consensus between stakeholders for a partially cooperative group decision-making problem. The proposed methodology is explored in a catchment located in the northeastern part of Tehran, Iran. Results showed that the SWMM could be effectively replaced with a MLP-based meta-model in simulation-optimization problems for urban runoff management. In the application of FSC methods, the optimal scenarios were effective in reducing the volume of urban runoff and contamination loads while maintaining the optimality of the operation costs. Considering the optimal LID scenario, a reduction of more than 99% in runoff volume and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and a decrease of more than 92% of total suspended solids (TSS), occurred for the lower bound of uncertainty (lower (left) end of the α-cut = 0.3). For the upper bound of uncertainty (upper (right) end of the α-cut level = 0.3), a maximum reduction of 57% was obtained. In applying FSC methods through the decision-making process, the Borda Counting method considered the preferences of all stakeholders best. Moreover, the proposed framework allows decision-makers to decide on the acceptability and reliability of the optimal management scenarios considering their preferences and uncertainties.

Urban drainage systems are generally designed based on the analysis of historical hydrologic variables, especially rainfall. Hydrologic analysis, however, has been shown to be affected by climate change. In response to the modified pattern of rainfall, stormwater management practices, such as Low Impact Developments (LIDs), need to be applied to successfully respond to the possible future climatic conditions, while meeting the performance criteria based on the current state of the watershed. In this study, a simulation-optimization framework is proposed to find the optimal design of LIDs (type, location, and area) under climate change. Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is utilized to simulate the rainfall-runoff process. This model is linked with a single-objective optimization routine formulated by Genetic Algorithm (GA) that minimizes runoff volume and the costs associated with the LIDs’ design. To investigate how climate change might affect the future watershed runoff, rainfall projections by several General Circulation Models (GCMs) are used. Change factor methodology is applied to downscale GCMs’ outputs. The framework is applied to the Velenjak watershed, located in the northeastern Tehran, Iran. Results show that the optimization algorithm provides optimal solutions for LIDs’ design under different extreme climate scenarios by allocating an average of 0.23% of the watershed area (20% of the maximum potential area considered for LIDs’ implementation), which results in a runoff volume reduction of up to 18%. The results also indicate that the optimal design of LIDs based on the current condition satisfies the watershed management goals and expectations in a future subjected to climate change impacts. Moreover, the results signify that the formulated multi-event optimization algorithm provides a unique solution meeting the objective functions for all considered climate scenarios at once.

In this paper, two deterministic and stochastic multilateral, multi-issue, non-cooperative bargaining methodologies are proposed for urban runoff quality management. In the proposed methodologies, a calibrated Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is used to simulate stormwater runoff quantity and quality for different urban stormwater runoff management scenarios, which have been defined considering several Low Impact Development (LID) techniques. In the deterministic methodology, the best management scenario, representing location and area of LID controls, is identified using the bargaining model. In the stochastic methodology, uncertainties of some key parameters of SWMM are analyzed using the info-gap theory. For each water quality management scenario, robustness and opportuneness criteria are determined based on utility functions of different stakeholders. Then, to find the best solution, the bargaining model is performed considering a combination of robustness and opportuneness criteria for each scenario based on utility function of each stakeholder. The results of applying the proposed methodology in the Velenjak urban watershed located in the northeastern part of Tehran, the capital city of Iran, illustrate its practical utility for conflict resolution in urban water quantity and quality management. It is shown that the solution obtained using the deterministic model cannot outperform the result of the stochastic model considering the robustness and opportuneness criteria. Therefore, it can be concluded that the stochastic model, which incorporates the main uncertainties, could provide more reliable results.

In the past decades, climate change, population growth, urbanization, changes in land-use, and outdated runoff collecting networks have affected the quantity and quality of urban runoff in many countries. In this research, a new methodology for planning green infrastructures (GI) for runoff water quality improvement in urban areas was proposed. This framework aims in optimized designing of the type and area of low impact development-best management practices (LID-BMPs) for urban areas. Three management practices, including infiltration trenches, bio-retention basins, and permeable pavements, were considered together with an urban drainage network. The stormwater management model (SWMM) was used for the rainfall-runoff simulation, and the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm was utilized for LID-BMP optimization. The proposed SWMM-MOPSO model was applied to an urban area in Northwestern Tehran, Iran, and an optimized combination of the BMPs was determined. To evaluate the performance of the optimized BMPs, its results were compared with conditions where a single type of BMPs (i.e., infiltration trenches, bio-retention basins, and permeable pavements) was implemented to each of the sub-basins. For this purpose, a single type of BMPs was allocated by different percentages of each sub-basins area. Results showed that by the application of these single BMP types, the whole basin’s concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorous (TP), and total nitrogen (TN) were reduced by 97%, 68%, and 72%, respectively. It was seen that the bio-retention basin was the most effective single BMP in water quality improvement. In the case of determining an optimum combination of the three BMPs, the SWMM-MOPSO model was applied to minimize the TSS concentration. Results showed that comparing the single bio-retention basins, the optimum combination of BMPs reduced the TSS concentrations by 10–12%. The proposed hybrid SWMM-MOPSO simulation-optimization model was instrumental in the optimal designing of the LID-BMPs and controlling runoff water quality.

This study presents a novel framework to optimize Low Impact Development (LID) practices for urban storm water management. First, the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) model was executed for different possible scenarios of input parameters and various LIDs to simulate runoff volume, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) loads. Next, a neural network (MLP-ANN) was trained and validated, as a surrogate model, against the set of inputs and output variables from the SWMM model simulations. The inherent uncertainties in the rainfall-runoff modeling were accounted for using a Nonlinear Interval Number Programming (NINP) model, and stakeholders' interactions are considered using a leader-follower game model. Velenjak urban watershed in Tehran, Iran, with four key stakeholders was considered as the study area. Tehran Municipality is the financial service provider that makes the first decision the leader-follower structure, and is considered as the leader with the priority of minimizing LIDs’ construction and maintenance costs. Tehran Department of Environmental Protection, Tehran Regional Water company, and Tehran Province Water and Wastewater company are the main followers in the decision making structure in the study area. This game theoretical framework yields several Pareto optimal solutions given the conflicting utilities of various players, and a Multi Criteria Decision Making procedure – i.e. PROMETHEE model – selects the most preferred compromised option. Fourteen weighting scenarios were considered in the PROMETHEE model to determine the compromise solution among the 52 solutions on the trade-off curve. The novelty of this study lies in using a nonlinear interval conflict resolution multi-objective optimization model for urban storm water management based on a leader-follower game. The proposed methodology warrants BOD and TSS loads, as well as storm water volume, are all reduced, with the highest reductions of 93, 86 and 90 percent, respectively. Results testify to the efficacy of the proposed model for urban storm water management.

Abstract Low impact development (LID) methods have been shown to be efficient in reducing the peak flow and total volume of urban stormwater, which is a top priority for effective urban stormwater management in many municipalities. However, decision-makers need information on the effects of LIDs and their associated costs before allocating limited resources. In this study, the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was used to investigate the effects of five different LID scenarios on urban flooding in a district in Tehran, Iran. The LID scenarios included rain barrel (RB) at two sizes, bio-retention cell (BRC), and combinations of the two structures. The results showed that significant node flooding and overflow volume would occur in the study area under the existing conditions, especially for rainfall events with longer return periods. BRC and combinations of BRC and RBs were the most effective options in reducing flooding, while the smaller-size RB was the cheapest alternative. However, normalized cost, obtained through dividing the total cost by the percent reduction in node flooding and/or overflow volume, was smallest for BRC. The results of this study demonstrate how hydraulic modeling can be combined with economic analysis to identify the most efficient and affordable LID practices for urban areas.

Abstract The rapid growth of cities together with increases in their populations is accompanied by numerous problems in run‐off management when flood events occur. The LID–BMP (Low Impact Development–Best Management Practice) approach seeks an environment‐friendly development in the management of surface run‐off. One important aspect of using such systems is to determine the optimal placement for effective storm water management. The current research presents a method for finding optimum locations for LID–BMP systems. The study area is located in the northern region of Tehran, the capital city of Iran. Three systems, infiltration trenches, vegetated swale and bioretention, were selected for this study. At first, criteria effective in finding locations for these systems were identified, comprising slope, land use and distance from streams, roads, groundwater and fault lines. Then, fuzzy logic and the analytic hierarchical process in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were employed to combine multiple layers to select optimum locations for these three systems. Finally, considering the field study and taking into account the specific land uses in the region, the optimum locations for these systems were suggested. The sensitivity analysis results showed that the suitable sites were intensely affected by the land use criterion; therefore, attention is recommended, especially in developed urban areas.

Estimation of urban runoff peak and volume is a fundamental step in determining the transferring capacity of urban drainage systems. The main aim of this study was to present an application of the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) in order to estimate urban flooding of a semi-arid area (Zanjan city in the northwest of Iran). The performance of an urban drainage system in the study area was also investigated. According to the results, SWMM is an effective tool for urban flood estimation in a semi-arid area. In this study, urban peak flow was simulated via a calibrated model with acceptable accuracy. Based on the results of the model simulation, the capacity of the main canals in the study area is sufficient for peak runoff transferring for a design storm with 50-year return periods, without retrofitting. Whereas, based on local observation and model results, localized and surface flooding can be observed in some urban areas. PRACTITIONER POINTS: In this study, urban flooding of a semi-arid area located in the northwest of Iran was estimated via a water Management Model (SWMM). According to the results, the SWMM model has considerable predictive capability for runoff evaluation in semi-arid regions when it is correctly calibrated via measured data. Also Modeling results showed that the main urban drainage network of the study watershed has an acceptable capacity for transmitting the runoff and flood waters, however the large amount of building materials and garbage that have been dumped in the canals could cause inundation problems.

Decision-makers in urban water systems have long searched for robust runoff management alternatives that can resist deviations from the performance for which they were designed. In this study, with the development of a new comprehensive framework consisting of Many- Objective Robust Decision-Making (MORDM) and Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), robust alternatives for the implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) practices are presented under future climate change. The proposed methodology has been applied to District 10 of the Tehran municipality, located in the central part of Tehran, Iran. In the first step, the performances of General Circulation Models (GCMs) in predicting rainfall in the base period (1986–2005) were compared, and MPI-ESM-LR was selected as the best model for predicting rainfall in the future period (2021–2040). In the next step, by developing the SWMM hydrological model, runoff quality and quantity were simulated under RCP8.5 and RCP2.6. By coupling SWMM with the NSGA-II multi-objective evolutionary algorithm and specifying objective functions, the most optimal LIDs implementation scenarios were produced. Then, well-characterized uncertainties were changed into deep uncertainties, and the robustness of each design alternative was quantified using two robustness assessment methods. Finally, system vulnerabilities were discovered using the patient rule induction method (PRIM) and classification and regression tree (CART). This study showed that scenarios with a higher percentage of LIDs are more robust against deep uncertainties. Using different RCP scenarios also revealed that methodological selection of future climate scenarios can affect the robustness of candidate alternatives. Implementing SWMM-MORDM enables decision-makers to effectively generate runoff management scenarios and visually evaluate their robustness against deep uncertainties.

Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of urban runoff is a major concern for urban management, imposing significant costs on the urban management system every year. Numerous; factors affect the quality, and quantity of urban runoff, such as population growth, urbanization, land use change and climate change. This paper aims to optimally design low-impact development (LID) strategies for qualitative and quantitative management of urban areas. Three runoff management methods, including vegetated swale, bioretention system, and porous pavement, were considered along with an urban drainage network. The stormwater management model (SWMM) was adopted to simulate urban runoff, and the slime mould algorithm (SMA) was employed to optimize LIDs. An urban area in Tehran, Iran, was examined using the proposed SWMM-SMA model, and the result was an optimal combination of LIDs. Three LIDs were individually defined for each subcatchment, and the results were compared to the combination of all LIDs in the whole catchment. The results indicated that the bioretention system was the most effective LID in improving the water quality in the case of individual LIDs. The system could reduce total suspended solids (TSS), total nitrogen (TN); and zinc (Zn) concentrations by 91, 78, and 74%. The results also suggested that the optimal combination of LIDs was more efficient, and it was able to further reduce TSS concentration by 14–16% compared to individual bioretention systems. Furthermore; the optimal combination of LIDs was successful in minimizing TSS concentration in the runoff by using the SWMM-SMA model. By using the simulation-optimization model (SWMM-SMA), optimal LIDs and runoff quality could be effectively designed and controlled.

Abstract Rapid urbanization has increased impervious areas, leading to a higher flood hazard across cities worldwide. Low Impact Development (LID) practices have shown efficacy in reducing urban runoff; nevertheless, choosing the best combinations in terms of implementation cost and performance is of great importance. The present study introduces a framework based on green infrastructure, multi-objective optimization, and decision support tools to determine the most cost-effective LID solutions. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was employed for rainfall-runoff and hydraulic modeling in Region 1, District 11 of Tehran, Iran. Six scenarios of different combinations of LID practices were developed. The system for Urban Stormwater Treatment and Analysis Integration (SUSTAIN) was used to optimize and evaluate each scenario. The selected solutions were imported to the SWMM to evaluate the stormwater system performance. Then, two multi criteria decision making (MCDM) models, including TOPSIS and COPRAS, were employed to rank the scenarios based on four technical and economic criteria. Results showed that scenario 4, consisting of rain barrels, porous pavements, and vegetated swales, had the best performance under TOPSIS with a 7.68 million USD and reduced the runoff volume and peak flow by 20.77% and 19.2%, respectively. However, Under the COPRAS method, Scenario 2 with a combination of rain barrels, bio-retention cells, and vegetated swales showed higher performance than the other scenarios with 3.25 million USD and led to a 15% reduction in the runoff volume and 4.30% in the peak flow. The COPRAS method was more sensitive to cost weights and chose the most economical scenario as the ideal. However, Scenario 4 concluded to be more feasible due to spatial limitations in the study area. The proposed SWMM—SUSTAIN—MCDM framework could be helpful to decision-makers in the design, performance evaluation, cost estimation, and selection of optimal scenarios.

Urbanization growth leads to shifting hydrological factors which in turn represent a challenge for urban stormwater management. In this situation, policy strategies can be employed by governments to incentivize stakeholders to use green infrastructure for effective runoff management. This study presents a novel framework evaluating the application of Low-Impact Development (LID) practices for runoff quality and quantity management from a socio-economic point of view. The proposed framework investigates the potential of cooperative game theory to find a fair allocation based on the concept of justice. In this regard, first, the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) was coupled with the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to find optimal runoff management scenarios considering minimization of runoff volume, peak flow, Total Suspended Solid (TSS) load, and costs of LIDs implementation. In the next step, in order to conflict resolution, stakeholders' preferences and interactions were incorporated into the cooperative game theory to determine management scenarios' worth of coalition. In the third step, benefits are allocated among stakeholders by defining three different sharing rules. Then, to select the most capable runoff management scenario, social choice methods of Condorcet choice, Borda scoring, and median voting rule support cooperative game decisions. The proposed methodology is explored in District 10 of Tehran municipality in Iran. According to the findings, solutions with stricter plans for runoff management correspond to more worth of coalition. In addition, the higher worth of coalition, the higher the reduction of peak flow, TSS load, and the total runoff volume. The results also reveal that the Borda scoring procedure tends to select scenarios with less reduction in TSS load, runoff volume, and peak flow in comparison with the others, and as expected, the minimum value for the worth of coalition. Additionally, the cooperative game targets a management scenario with the highest worth of coalition and the maximum value for the reduction in runoff volume, peak flow, and TSS removal. Our framework warrants runoff volume, TSS load, and peak flow can be reduced by 32.8, 31.9, and 32.7 percent, respectively. This framework, in addition to incentivize the stakeholders for implementing runoff management strategies, can effectively consider their conflict of interests in the decision-making process.

Designing urban runoff drainage systems is prominent in effectively managing floods due to increasing impermeable regions worldwide. However, although urban runoff drainage systems are configured mainly based on rainfall analysis, climate change influences their hydrological properties substantially. This research introduces an innovative methodology to analyze climate variations on optimal low impact developments (LIDs) of urban drainage systems in historical periods based on annual impacts (AIs) in projection periods considering uncertainties assessments. First, Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is employed for simulating the process of rainfall-runoff considering quality and quantity analyses. This simulation model is coupled with a non-dominated genetic algorithm- II (NSGA-II) optimization algorithm to minimize the cost of LIDs, flood volume, and pollutant load. Then, future runoff and daily rainfall are projected on a yearly basis, including maximum, minimum, and median rainfall, to identify how climate change affects catchment properties. These projections and an ensemble model are obtained based on the Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LARS-WG), which considers uncertainties. After that, the projected daily precipitation is fragmented into hourly segments utilizing the change factor approach (CFA). Finally, the ideal optimum type, size, and placement of the chosen LIDs are determined using the presented simulation-optimization (SO) model. To prove the effectiveness and appropriateness of the presented framework, it is implemented in a real-world study area in Darabad catchment, Tehran, Iran. Results indicate that the developed optimal LIDs are well-designed and sufficient in both the historical and projection periods. The findings also depict that with the current LIDs established for the historical period, the flooding volume and summation of total suspended solid (TSS) and total Nitrogen (TN) removals are decreased by 55.96% and 60.2% compared to when LIDs are not adopted. In addition, employing the developed LIDs based on an ensemble model results in the runoff volume and pollutants removal decline of up to 31.39% and 46.9%, respectively.

In this paper, a three-step framework is proposed to identify prone areas of implementing infill development in district No. 1 of Isfahan Municipality in central Iran based on urban water infrastructures. In the first step, based on the accessibility to existence of excess capacities of water and wastewater networks the extent of study area is analyzed. In the second step, based on the combination of mentioned infrastructures capacities, the extent of study area is classified into three zones entitled High, Medium and Low Ability to Development. In fact, each of this zone reflects a specific level of ability for the potential future development. Then share and extension of unused areas in these zones are discovered. Finally, by calculating the weight of each zone by AHP approach and then using them as well as the areas of unused lands as the input variables in the Simple Additive Weighting method, all the neighborhoods within the study area were ranked for future development. The results show that not only access to urban water infrastructure must not be considered as the only criterion for deciding about future development but also excess capacity in these infrastructures and their location are more crucial. Also, the results of sensitivity analyses show that uncertainties involved in AHP weights can truly be handled in the proposed framework. Leading to better use of unconsidered urban infrastructure opportunities and provide better sight for future land-use planning can be interpreted as the main achievement of this research.

A densely populated urban area located in the 13th municipality of Tehran metropolis, Iran. Bioretention cell is one of the low-impact development methods that aims to restore the hydrological cycle in city areas before urban development. However, the bioretention cell's hydrological performance can vary in urban environments. As a result, this research investigated the effectiveness of a bioretention cell in reducing runoff and recharging groundwater in a densely populated metropolitan area located in eastern Tehran, Iran. Groundwater and surface water modeling were conducted separately. The SWMM model was used for surface water modeling, while a novel approach that utilized the SWMM groundwater module was implemented to assess the bioretention cell's impact on groundwater recharge quantitatively. The study found that implementing bioretention cells can significantly reduce total runoff volume, ranging from 75.6% to 60.7% for rainfall with a return period of 2–100 years. This reduction is due to increased infiltration from the bioretention cells, which can lead to a maximum monthly increase of 12.2–44.0 millimeters of groundwater table for the same rainfall events. The study highlights the effectiveness of retaining runoff through bioretention cells in mitigating flooding, restoring the hydrological cycle, and reviving aquifers in urban areas.

The present study examines the effectiveness of six LID-BMPs in urban runoff reduction in Neyshabour city, Iran. The validated Storm Water Management Model (SWMM5.1) was employed to assess the effectiveness of LID-BMPs in mitigating runoff volume. The hydrological model was calibrated and validated with nine in-site measured flood hydrographs. 11 LID-BMP scenarios were planned to determine the most effective combination of LID-BMPs. The results showed that according to the site conditions, Infiltration Trench (IT) and Rain Barrel (RB) practices with 22.2% and 0.4% reduction rates had the highest and lowest efficiency in reducing urban runoff. By assessing various combinations of LID-BMPs, it was found that the combination of IT, Bio-Retention (BR), Stormwater Dry Ponds (SDP), Porous Pavement (PP), and Rain Garden (RG) provides the most effective strategy for runoff management. Despite the high efficiency of LID-BMPs in reducing runoff, they are not able to completely handle the consequences of urbanization.

Rapid urban development and increase in construction have significantly altered the surface coverage of cities, resulting in a rise in impervious surfaces such as roofs, streets, and pavements. These changes act as barriers against rainwater infiltration into the soil, leading to a substantial increase in surface runoff. Managing surface runoff has become a critical task in civil engineering and urban planning, as it can mitigate damage and provide opportunities for utilizing excess water. However, traditional flood control and guidance systems tend to be extensive and expensive, prompting researchers to explore cost-effective alternatives that consider all design parameters and variables. In this research, we propose an innovative approach that combines the NSDE (non-dominated sorting differential evolution) metaheuristic algorithm as an optimizer with the SWMM (storm water management model) as a simulator. The objective is to design efficient surface runoff collection networks by thoroughly investigating their hydraulic behaviors. This study focuses on the Chitgar watershed in Tehran, Iran, utilizing the SWMM model and NSDE multi-objective metaheuristic algorithm to determine the optimal dimensions of the channel and its intersecting structures. The aim is to minimize costs and reduce water leakage from the network. A comparison is made between the optimized design results and the existing network plan (without any design modifications). The analysis reveals substantial reductions in water leakage for all three design scenarios: a 7.66% reduction when considering only bridges, a 7.35% reduction with only the canal, and an impressive 95.26% reduction when both the canal and bridges are incorporated. These findings demonstrate the superiority of the optimized designs in terms of cost-effectiveness and the efficient management of surface runoff.

Abstract In recent years, the growth of urbanization has increased the impermeable levels and has caused an increase in the volume of floods and peak flood discharges. Many types of research have been done in the field of implementing environmentally friendly methods to make the urban environment more natural and at the same time be effective in controlling urban floods. The use of Low Impact Development (LID) methods is one such study. But choosing the best designs from among these strategies has always been a vital problem for urban water system designers. One of the goals researchers in the field of urban hydrology is to find methods to determine the required volume reduction. In the present study, the hydraulic behavior of the surface water collection system in the Golestan town of Semnan has been simulated using Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). In the following, the performance of implementing different proposed designs of three types of LID_ namely rain barrel (RB), infiltration trench (IT), and permeable pavement (PP) _ was investigated. These plans include seven general scenarios, each with ten different LID combinations. These plans include seven general scenarios, each with ten different LID combinations. The results of hydraulic studies indicate the effectiveness of the PP-RB scenario with an average reduction of 90% of peak discharge and an average reduction of 80% of total flood volume. Also, the weakest performance is related to the IT scenario with an average reduction of 60% of peak discharge and 47% of total flow volume. In this regard, the considering the importance of estimation of flood reduction, present paper introduces a novel approach for urban flood mitigation estimation. In this method, intelligent algorithms are used to perform flood calculation operations taking into account the percentage of LIDs (Low-Impact Developments) proposed. In this research, SVM (support vector machines), LSSVM (Least square support vector machines) and LSSVM-GOA (Least square support vector machines-grasshopper optimization algorithm) algorithms have been used. The allocated percentage area of ​​different combinations of the used LIDs, and the reduced peak flow coefficient in each combination were considered as input data; and the reduced flood volume corresponding to each LID combination was used as the output data. This research has been conducted in Golestan town of Semnan city in Iran. The results obtained in this study indicate the success of these algorithms in predicting reduced flood volume. In the test period, the value of R 2 index for LSSVM-GOA model (0.9896) compared to LSSVM (0.9266) and SVM (0.8990) intelligent models, indicates the high accuracy of this model in this period. Also, the values of R 2 index for the other two algorithms indicate the adequacy of these algorithms in predicting the amount of reduced flood. Also in the training course, LSSVM - GOA model showed that with values of 0.0101 and 0.0185 for MAE and RMSE indices, respectively, has a higher predictive power. The values of these indices are 0.0268 and 0.0361 for LSSVM model and 0.0318 and 0.0434 for SVM model, respectively. According to the results, the use of intelligent algorithms can be introduced as an accurate tool in estimating and predicting reduced flood volume in urban basins.

This study evaluated impacts of Green Infrastructure (GI) as a stormwater management practice on return flows and the further Implications of climate variability. The goal was to create a model to explore the impacts that bioretention and Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) representing GI had using goldsim and Stormwater Management Modeling (SWMM) software. The software was used to represent impacts that climate variability individually and combined, may have on downstream stakeholders and receiving water systems in Salt Lake city, Utah, USA. Primary stakeholders included downstream water rights users, Farmington Bay waterfowl management area and the migratory birds that rely on Farmington Bay and the advocates that represent them. The steps to reach this goal were broken down incrementally to: (1) Characterize daily inflows to Farmington Bay, (2) Provide daily inflows from natural and urban runoff to the Jordan river, (3) Create a daily water balance model of Farmington Bay, (4) Demonstrate the model with and without stormwater GI and climate variability scenarios and (5) Determine trends of inflow to the Jordan River, duck clubs and Farmington Bay under various scenarios. The simulation results demonstrated that bioretention and RWH individually and combined had minimal impact on downstream water users, Jordan River flows and ultimately Farmington Bay water levels. Bioretention reduced the flow in the Jordan River minimally, with reductions primarily during peak flow. RWH actually kept more water in the natural system on average because less water was needed from the water treatment facilities when outdoor irrigation was supplemented with rainwater. The user reliability did not differ for any of the bioretention and RWH scenarios. The climate variability scenario had the greatest impact to Jordan River flows, Farmington Bay water levels and user reliability. When analyzed without GI implementation, the climate variability induced reduction in tributary flows and precipitation led to an average decrease of 11% in the Jordan River streamflow when compared to average baseline scenario over a 25 year simulation. The user reliability decreased by 5% and most importantly there was found to be an average of 36% decrease in the water levels in Farmington Bay. The resultant of the decrease in Farmington Bay water level is a loss of up to 61 square kilometers (15,000 acres) of open bay that would impact bird habitat, brine shrimp grounds, recreationalists, bird watchers, hunters and more. For this case study the implications of climate variability on the water system are much greater than implementing GI.

For additional information, contact: Director, New York Water Science Center U.S. Geological Survey425 Jordan Rd Troy, NY 12180 (518) 285-5695 http://ny.water.usgs.gov/ A precipitation-runoff model, HSPF (Hydrologic Simulation Program Fortran), of a 41.7 square mile part of the Ninemile Creek watershed near Camillus, in central New York, was developed and calibrated to predict the hydrological effects of future suburban development on streamflow, and the effects of stormwater detention on flooding of Ninemile Creek at Camillus. Development was represented in the model in two ways: (1) as a pervious area (open and residential land) that simulates the hydrologic response from mixed pervious and impervious areas that drain to pervious areas, or (2) as an impervious area that drains to channels. Simulations indicate that peak discharges for 30 non-winter storms in 1995-96 would increase by an average of 10 to 37 percent in response to a 10- to 100-percent buildup of developable land represented as open/residential land and by 40 to 68 percent in response to 10 to 100 percent buildup of developable area represented as impervious area. A 10 to 100 percent buildup of developable area represents an impervious area of about 1 to 7 percent of the watershed. A log Pearson Type-III analysis of peak annual discharge for October 1989 through September 1996 for simulations with full development represented as impervious area indicates that stormflows that formerly occurred once every 2 years on average will occur once every 1.5 years, and stormflows that formerly occurred once every 5 years will occur once every 3.3 years.Simulations of a hypothetical 147-acre residential development in the lower part of the watershed with and without stormwater detention indicate that detention basins could cause either increase or decrease downstream flooding of Ninemile Creek at Camillus, depending on the basin.s available storage relative to its inflows and, hence, the timing of its peak outflow in relation to that of the peak discharge in Ninemile Creek; and the degree of flow retention by wetlands and other channel storage that affect the timing of peak discharges. Design and management of detention basins in the watershed will require analysis of each basin.s hydraulic characteristics and location relative to Ninemile Creek to predict their effect on downstream flooding. The runoff model described herein can be used to evaluate alternative detention basin designs and locations.

Rapid urbanization in the 5th settlement—Cairo, Egypt, led to a dramatic impact on the hydrological parameters within the area, due to a reduction in the soil infiltration, and consequently increased runoff volumes. Many researches were conducted for similar cases throughout the world to assess the urbanization hydrological impact. In the current study, remote sensing raster classification is utilized to assess the land use and associated Curve Number (CN) variation within the study area, and the SCS method was used to estimate the runoff volume. A Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment (LTHIA) GIS tool has been developed to assess the temporal variation of hydrological parameters through different stages of development from 2006 to 2016 in the study area. It was concluded that during 10 years of development, the impervious areas increased and covered 30% of the study catchment area, the runoff volume increased by about 800% more than the 2006 base line runoff. This study clearly shows the excessive increase in runoff due to urban development and raises the flag for the urban planners at this area, particularly the New Administrative Capital in Egypt which lies along the extent of the 5th district to take necessary flood mitigation measures into account.

Abstract One way to save water is rainwater harvesting (RWH). For highly urbanized areas, the advantages of RWH include not only collecting water but also mitigating the negative impacts of stormwater runoff on receiving water bodies. In this research, the use of RWH is investigated along with Permeable Pavement to reduce runoff volume and peak flow in Al-Huryai city, a small watershed in central Baghdad, Iraq as a case study using a Personalized Computer Storm Water Management Model (PCSWMM). The simulation results showed that RWH has a significant impact on runoff reduction when compiled with Al-Huryai-PP scenario. The peak flow rates for Al-Huryai as-is scenario and Al-Huryai-PP+RWH scenario were 0.004 m 3 /s and 0.0038 respectively. Thus, the predevelopment conditions were met and flooding was controlled.

Abstract Urban stormwater management is one of the biggest challenges facing modern cities. The current stormwater networks are likely to be insufficient under continuous urbanisation and the development of residential areas in addition to increases in rainfall intensity, especially in areas with relatively high slopes, which may thus be subject to flooding. This study aimed to mitigate the overflow rate of the selected case study area using a pervious inlets pavement technique based on porous asphalt concrete pavements with a reservoir layer. The current stormwater network system of the Al-Yarmouk quarter (located at the centre of Karbala City, Iraq) was evaluated by exposing it in simulation to a rainfall intensity equivalent to the 5-year return period and applying storm and sanitary analysis (SSA) and GIS software. The simulation results showed that constructing 50% of the road surface area (5% of the total studied area) with porous asphalt concrete with air voids of about 20% and variable reservoir thicknesses, could reduce water runoff entering the network significantly. Moreover, placing 240 mm, 328 mm and 400 mm of No.75 aggregate layer within reservoir depths would result in further mitigations of surface runoff quantity by about 15%, 30%, and 45%, respectively. A reservoir depth of 240 mm was found to reduce flooding quantities and times by about 71% and 18.29%, respectively, while creating a 328 mm reservoir depth under the porous asphalt results in quantity and time reductions of about 98.5% and 81%, respectively. No surface flooding was observed when reservoir depth was changed to 400 mm.

Urbanization dynamics are commonly subjected to powerful market forces, only partly managed by land-use plans. The density, location and pattern of urbanized areas affect rainfall-runoff relations. Consequently, it is essential to understand future impacts of urbanization on runoff and produce focused regulation. The goal was to analyze land-cover scenarios and their impact on runoff in an urbanized watershed in Israel. Present and predicted land-cover scenarios in a densely populated watershed were produced. The runoff response to rainfall was then simulated using a hydrological model. The impact of implementing afforestation and quarrying national outline plans was considered. By the year 2050, 50% of the watershed will be urbanized with a linear increase in runoff response. Afforestation and quarrying plans show little effect on runoff, although quarries may decrease runoff through percolation. As urbanization is expected to continue spreading in adjacent watersheds, statutory measures should be applied to mitigating runoff.

Stormwater runoff is a leading cause of water quality degradation in many urban waterways and receiving waters. In addition, rapid urbanisation and climate change effects are elevating the pressure on the use and resourcing of freshwater supplies. Stormwater harvesting has the potential to harness this conventional nuisance into a reliable potable resource if a suitable treatment can be achieved. Excess nutrients and nitrogen in particular are carried by stormwater, potentially leading to eutrophication. Biofilters, also known as bioretention systems, have shown the potential to remove nutrients from stormwater, thus protecting receiving waters as well as providing significant landscape amenity and urban microclimate benefits. In biofilters, nitrogen compounds can be transformed and ultimately converted into nitrogen gas by coupled nitrification and denitrification, providing the sustainable removal of nitrogen. Current biofilter designs, however, have not yet been optimised for efficient nitrogen removal. Additionally, current biofilter systems are considered a black box in terms of nitrogen species transformation, with little known about the variations in their performance, particularly in relation to the harsh wetting and drying environment to which they are subjected. The present thesis has examined the processes involved in nitrogen removal (and to a lesser degree phosphorus removal), focusing particularly on nitrate removal dynamics and its optimisation in biofilters. The first step was a large scale base-line study that was designed to quantify the removal performance of conventional biofilter designs. The findings targeted the need to enhance NOx removal, by optimising components of the design, leading to new configurations. The novel design was tested for typically harsh operational conditions, such as prolonged drying periods and system recovery. In order to meet water quality guidelines, laboratory results were validated in the field through a full-scale biofiltration system, which also tested the effectiveness of the optimised designs in removing a range of pollutants from urban runoff. In the first stage of the thesis, a large scale study of 140 columns tested eight different biofilter design and operational factors. Overall, this study revealed that whilst biofilters could readily remove high levels of sediment (averaging 98% removal), phosphorus (85%) and heavy metals (greater than 90% removal for most metals), nitrogen removal was often poor. NOx in particular, leaches from the biofilters after dry weather spells, In addition, NOx removal was strongly dependent on the type of vegetation. It was concluded, therefore, that systems should be carefully designed, paying particular attention to the specification of the soil media and selection of the plants to assure the required nutrient removal. For the conditions testing, a biofilter system of 2% of its impervious area with a minimum filter media depth of 5OO mm was found to be satisfactory. Finally, the biofilter columns demonstrated the facility to achieve and maintain removal capacity even under high concentration inflows. The next study investigated nitrogen transformations and improved removal of NOx through denitrification. In order to achieve this, 18 advanced biofilter columns were constructed and incorporated into different levels of a saturated zone (SAZ), supplemented with a carbon source. Sampling ports enabled measurement of nitrogen transformations throughout the filter depth profile. The SAZ design columns demonstrated removal of NO x, ammonia, organic nitrogen and mean TN removal of up to 74%. The columns, which included carbon substrate in their SAZ, demonstrated more than 99% success in removing NOx, statistically more than the control columns that did not use carbon which removed less than 50% NOx. Moreover, the depth concentration profile exhibited the highest NOx reduction along the SAZ biofilter section, suggesting that the addition of organic carbon as an electron donor in the saturated zone is beneficial to the rate of denitrification; a saturated zone depth of 450 mm was found to be effective. Moreover, a subsequent study investigated the efficiency of the SAZ design during prolonged drying and subsequent rewetting periods, and found that having a saturated zone (SAZ) is critical for efficient nitrogen removal in dry periods of more than two weeks. Without the SAZ, the biofilters behave as a source rather than a sink for nitrogen and NOx in particular. Furthermore, the SAZ design showed much faster recovery of N removal upon rewetting; the SAZ design biofilters were able to recover nitrate removal after only one rewetting event. Without the SAZ, the recovery time may be longer than the antecedent dry period itself, meaning that net leaching will occur during several storm events before net removal is re-established. Finally, the laboratory biofilter results were validated in the field by introducing a large scale biofilter pilot in Israel adopting a dual mode system; 1. A stormwater harvesting operational mode (during the rainy season) and 2. An aquifer recovery mode (during the dry season) for treatment of highly pollutant groundwater with nitrate. The removal performance for sediments and nutrients in the field was similar if not better than predicted in the laboratory; TSS concentrations were reduced by 99.4% (lab; 98.1%), TP by 94% (lab; 70%), and TN by 65% (lab; 64%, SAZ=6OO mm). The field study results confirmed a high removal performance not only for nutrients, but also for heavy metals, pathogenic indicators, and TOC. The biofilter was found to treat the stormwater and met water quality standards for irrigation and stream health, achieving even the most stringent local drinking water guidelines (not for pathogens contamination). For example, it demonstrated high reductions of E-coli and Faecal Coliforms in the range of 2- 3 log reductions, and below the maximal permitted values for the majority of metals and measured nutrients. This does not mean that the outflows are directly drinkable without additional filtration and disinfection, but that the data demonstrates the potential of stormwater to eventually become the first stage in a potable water source or alternatively this can be safely recharged into the aquifer. Aquifer recovery application results show potential for nitrate removal in the remediation of contaminated groundwater, albeit at low flow rates and under batch flow regimes. In these conditions, the biofilter managed to remove up to 73% of the nitrate concentration within the contaminated aquifer and met the drinking water guideline for nitrate. The present research contributed many recommendations for the design of biofilters and operational recommendations that are listed in FAWB adoption guidelines (2009)1. One of the key design recommendations arising from the present research, however, is that, where possible, biofilters should incorporate SAZ and a supplementary carbon source within the filter media, to enhance their robustness and nitrogen removal. The presence of the SAZ design can buffer some inefficiency ineffective traits of conventional biofilters, while at the same time sustaining vegetation growth during dry periods. In fact, retrofitting the SAZ into 'simple' biofilters is recommended if the existing biofilter has inadequate N removal and if N discharges poses a potential threat to the receiving environment. A number of knowledge gaps and research challenges were identified from the current research. For example, the need to enhance the removal of organic nitrogen from stormwater, since it was observed as the primary N form in the biofilter effluent (86% of total N). This study also suggests that biofilters when deployed in practice as a decentralised system may serve several purposes simultaneously. This would require further research and testing to allow the optimisation of stormwater harvesting and the aquifer recovery of nitrate through a constant flow regime. This research has provided comprehensive insights and practical design recommendations to improve biofilter performances, while allowing safer and more versatile use. The practical applications of this research are currently being adopted in Australia, Israel and in other countries.

The vision set for the Second Development Plan 2015–2020 (DP15-20) is to transform Kuwait into a financial and commercial center by 2035. The DP15-20 addresses various sectors in the country including the energy sector, which is tackled by presenting the overall goals of the oil and electricity sectors in terms of their respective capacities and performances. The plan does not explicitly tackle energy sustainability development. This work has proposed a potential sustainable energy strategy scenario and discusses the integration of the strategy within the DP15-20. The strategy is based on supply diversification to meet 15% of the demand from renewable sources by 2030, electricity energy consumption reduction of 12% in the building sector, and CO2 emission reduction of 33% by 2035.

Failaka Island is one of the most important islands belonging to the State of Kuwait. With the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on 2 August 1990, most of the activies on Failaka Island were destroyed. After the liberation of Kuwait, the Kuwaiti government decided to reconstruct the island for touristic and recreational purposes. Thus, a coastal development plan was needed. The presented study is an attempt to address the coastal zone management of the island. Based on the overall geomorphological features of the island, the coast was classified into four coastal zones. The wave and tidal conditions were identified around the island. The major items controlling the coastal development were specified. Accordingly, a detailed coastal zone management map for future development was developed. The overall goal was to provide decision-makers with guidelines for the future development of the island.

ABSTRACT Although it was claimed that the Kuwait Master Plans have helped guide the development in Kuwait from a small mud brick town of 150,000 inhabitants to today's modern metropolis of about 3 million inhabitants, this article argues that the implementation of the first plan in 1952 planted the seeds of human and ecological risk problems in Kuwait, which were intensified later in the 1960s and 1970s. As the latest 2007 Master Plan comprises major development projects, which could certainly have adverse ecological impacts on the environment and human well-being, this article highlights the importance of integrating environmental impact assessment (EIA) and the development projects within the Master Plan as a tool for sustainable development and as an assessment of human and ecological risks before the implementation of such projects. According to the current status, the level of collaboration among the concerned organizations responsible for preparing the Master Plans and conducting the EIA is behind the ambition. This article recommends setting out documented environmental criteria for land use planning and major development projects implementation, so as to control pollution and prevent any environmental change that might impair the public's health or influence future ecological stability.

Abstract Ambitious leadership, integrated planning and availability of resources have seen unprecedented growth in development activities of North Kuwait reservoirs over the last 4-5 years. As a result of this production has significantly grown but so have production challenges. New ideas and ways to enhance production and reserve growths are being discussed and tested. In this context role of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) has been critically examined and steps are being taken to have a pragmatic action plan in place to achieve strategic objectives. North Kuwait has been endowed with a mix of clastic and carbonate reservoirs of that are highly productive. These reservoirs are at different stages of depletion and their development plans are constantly tuned to enhance oil production and reduce water cut. KOC's approach to EOR plans is inclusive. It is looking at not only mature clastic reservoirs like Lower Burgan but also at Mauddud, Upper Burgan and Zubair reservoirs that are in middle stage of their development bypassing the conventional route post-secondary recovery. Considering previous work and recent developments in the field of EOR, chemical methods and miscible Carbon-Di-Oxide (CO2) processes were shortlisted for more in-depth investigations. Subsequent extensive simulation studies place incremental oil recovery estimates using the results of specifically customized Surfactant Polymer (SP) formulation for Sabiriyah Mauddud in excess of 25% over the CO2 WAG (Water Alternating Gas) process. In view of the significance of these results to North Kuwait's production plan EOR program is being fast-tracked. It is now at a point where a pilot is being planned in Sabiriyah Mauddud to field-test KOC's first SP flood in the next 1-2 years. Action plan is being finalized with all activities, milestones and deliverables. The project activities are being closely monitored to ensure timely completion of key tasks by different groups. For other reservoirs risk-opportunity matrix is being developed to understand the pitfalls and potential of shortlisted methods. It is expected that this work plan will enable KOC to realize its vision of getting first EOR oil from North Kuwait by the turn of 2016.

ABSTRACT On the initiative of the States of the Region, in response to their large-scale development activities and the threat posed to the marine environment, the Kuwait Regional Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Areas was convened by the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Kuwait from 15–23 April 1978. The Conference was attended by Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The major achievement of the Conference was the adoption of a Final Act which includes an Action Plan containing environmental assessment and management programs as well as the Kuwait Regional Convention for Co-operation in the Protection of the Marine Environment from Pollution and a Protocol concerning Regional Co-operation in Combating Pollution by Oil and other Harmful Substances in Cases of Emergency. The potential for severe environmental degradation from massive oil spills was recognized as the priority concern. Initial project activities are scheduled to begin in early 1979 and continue for two years. UNEP will act as the catalytic agent in what is a co-ordinated effort of the United Nations system. In addition to an assessment of the origin and magnitude of pollution in the Region, the unprecedented growth of coastal development, especially industry, will be assessed in order to evaluate environmental consequences and appropriate pollution control measures.

Abstract This paper describes the process adopted, and results achieved, to provide an interim field development plan for the Zubair reservoir. This is a major oil-producing horizon of the Raudhatain field in northern Kuwait. The multi-billion-bbl reservoir comprises four major producing sandstone units, each with different fluid and rock properties. The strategic intent set in 1995 required that the offtake essentially be doubled within the next 10 years through the implementation of a field waterflood development plan. Teams were established to collate the data and populate electronic data bases. The data from 21 new wells drilled after the liberation of Kuwait was integrated. A sedimentology study of the available core data was completed. A multi-disciplinary team was established in late 1996 to interpret the static and dynamic data and recommend the initial forward development strategy. Evaluation of the data, using classical analysis techniques, confirmed that a peripheral flood program could be implemented and provided an assessment of waterflood performance. Productivity and injectivity were estimated to provide a provisional assessment of wells needed. Ranged production profiles, required for planning, were generated quickly using analogue field data. Prioritization for water injection was established based on required offtake and dynamic performance. Recommendations for the locations of new development wells, incorporating the presence of tar mats and a gas cap, were made together with an adequate surveillance plan to assess the impact of the waterflood.

Abstract The development of the vast viscous oil resources of Kuwait is considered a very important strategic goal of the country. The first phase of development plans is under implementation to meet a target production of 60 M bopd by a combination of cold flow and cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) followed by steamflood to have optimum recovery from this resource. The thermal development plan for the viscous oil resources, targeting high recovery factor from this resource, is considered to be the first EOR project in Kuwait. The thermal project starts with Cyclic Steam Stimulation followed by steamflood. To optimize the process and maximizing recovery, three pilots have been planned for evaluation of these technologies in this field. A detailed plan was developed to ensure quality surveillance information is obtained to support this pilot performance interpretation. This present paper summarizes the salient features of that surveillance plan and how the planned data can be interpreted, to obtain maximum value from the pilots. First the impact of known reservoir uncertainty parameters was evaluated through simulation studies and field testings, to evaluate their potential to become major risk parameters for the project. A commercial uncertainty analysis software to identify risk factors was used for this study. A comprehensive surveillance plan for evaluation of the potential risk parameters in the pilots was then firmed up, based on available technologies in the industry. The study identifies that an integrated approach is needed involving the completion plan, surveillance options and project goals to optimize learning from the pilots. A realistic surveillance plan, which caters to the different completion plans being evaluated in the pilots, was firmed up. The study also recommends frequency and resolution needed in the surveillance data, for meaningful interpretation of results. A comprehensive surveillance plan in the pilots is considered a key success factor in EOR projects. With increasing demand for fossil fuels in future, evaluation of EOR technologies through pilots would continue to remain a desired option, to reduce project cost and risk. The risk assessment approach elaborated in this study is expected to have relevance in similar EOR projects all over the globe.

Abstract The North Kuwait Jurassic Gas (NKJG) reservoirs are currently under development by KOC. The fractured carbonate reservoirs contain gas condensate and volatile oil at pressures up to 11,500 psi with 2.9% H2S and 1.5% CO2. Currently around 20 active wells are producing to an Early Production Facility (EPF-50) that falls short of achieving the desired capacity and capability to handle production efficiently. To understand wells and field performance, an integrated system model comprising of wells, flow line and gathering system separator network was created. The setting up a model and its use is an integral subset of WRFM (Wells, Reservoir and Facilities Management) process that is essential for effectively managing the current asset and for further field development. The application of the model is to be an enabler for wider implementation of the WRFM process in KOC and a tool to meet the following objectives: It should closely match the EPF-50 throughputIt should identify problem wellsIt should identify well intervention and data gathering opportunitiesIt should be a tool for training engineers on nodal analysis and WRFMIt can be used for back allocationIt could be used to benchmark against any existing models The model has shown close approximation with field metered production and is already achieving many of its desired objectives. This paper describes the use of integrated nodal analysis model to generate data gathering and well intervention opportunities not only to operate the facilities efficiently but understand well and reservoir behavior for input to full field development plan.

Abstract The Upper Burgan reservoir is a major productive interval in both the Raudhafain and Sabiriyah fields, located in Northern Kuwait. A fivefold increase in production is planned from this reservoir through the implementation of a fleIdwide watefflood development plan. Dynamic reservoir performance data has been combined with sedimentological studies and 3D geological modelling to evaluate the dynamic complexity of the reservoir during the depletion phase. Due to limited aquifer support, a frill field waterflood development plan is to be implemented, with seawater injection scheduled to commence in 1999. The evaluation and understanding of key dynamic reservoir parameters such as productivity, injectivity and connectivity have been shown to be of critical importance in the planning of the waterflood project. Although waterflood development will initially commence with a peripheral waterflood scheme on Raudhatain, it is expected that the ultimate development will constitute a patterntlood of both reservoirs, in common with analogue complex paralic clastic systems. The Raudhatain and Sabiriyah waterflood development plan therefore places much emphasis on flexibility and cost optimisation. Integration of this development with that of the larger, shallower Mauddud carbonate reservoir has been identified by alignment of the associated waterflood grids such that each well location may be an injection or offlake point for both reservoirs. Grid alignment provides maximum flexibility to each reservoir, accelerates drilling in the Upper Burgan, and reduces ultimate drilling expenditure by as much as 80 wells. In essence, the Upper Burgan reservoir is developed for the incremental cost of a dual wellhead, packer and additional tubing string. P. 727

Abstract Kuwait Oil Company is presently working on number of fronts to increase its reserve base to meet the future strategic requirements of the country. The major challenge is to continuously work on improving the overall recovery from the existing reservoirs. For achieving this goal, Reservoir Management Technical Limit study (RMTL) process was undertaken to estimate the true potentials of a number of reservoirs of KOC which are under various stages of development. RMTL is a structured, facilitated, documented process at which multi-disciplinary teams and independent experts review the depletion plan for a reservoir and identifying reserve growth opportunities to its technical limit. The RMTL study was carried out to assess the potential of Sabriyah (Upper Burgan) reservoir in North Kuwait asset of Kuwait Oil Company. This reservoir is currently in the second stage of development with activities like development drilling, water injection for pressure maintenance. In order to assess the viability of different EOR processes and eliminate technically unviable process, the analytical screening was done. Finally, a few representative pattern elements from the full field simulation model were extracted for use in the EOR screening. The EOR screening exercise has shown potential for low salinity water flood, surfactant polymer and potentials for miscible CO2 injection. Incremental recovery factors up to 13% are predicated compared with conventional water flooding. These studies have given a direction to the company to decide on economically viable EOR processes in different reservoirs of Kuwait.

This article, written by Senior Technology Editor Dennis Denney, contains highlights of paper SPE 120229, "Development of an Integrated Reservoir-Surveillance Process for World's Second-Largest Field in Kuwait," by Sameer F. Desai, SPE, Hussain Z. Al-Ajmi, SPE, and Jamal H. Al-Humoud, Kuwait Oil Company, and Naz H. Gazi, SPE, Halliburton, prepared for the 2009 SPE Middle East Oil &amp; Gas Show and Conference, Kingdom of Bahrain, 15-18 March. The paper has not been peer reviewed. The Greater Burgan field in Kuwait was discovered in 1938 and contains more than 1,000 wells. It is extremely important to identify and perform focused surveillance work to have a better understanding of the reservoir drainage mechanism, remaining potential, and pressure decline. Considerable data accumulate every year, leading to questions about whether acquiring so much data is justified. This paper describes the approach to develop an integrated reservoir-surveillance plan for monitoring the field. Introduction The Greater Burgan sandstone oil field covers a surface area of approximately 320 sq miles. The four main reservoir units are the Wara, Mauddud, Burgan Third sand, and Burgan Fourth sand. Other contributing units are Minagish, Marrat, and Zubair reservoirs. A very dynamic development plan was implemented to sustain production. The strategy involves increased well activity and production-facility and -capacity upgrade. Many new wells are planned, including high-producing-rate horizontal wells in the main Burgan sands. Reservoir surveillance is key. With new wells being drilled, the need for organized surveillance has increased to monitor this large reservoir, depletion trends, remaining potential, and pressure support. Surveillance planning is critical in ensuring that sufficient data are acquired. Standard processes must be in place to manage and interpret the acquired data. The quality and value of information must be assessed to justify the surveillance plan and the future requirements for continued optimization of current production and reservoir-management strategies. Current Process Routine surveillance data are acquired annually to optimize well production and to provide input for reservoir-management studies. Surveillance activities were reviewed over the last 3 years to assess the need for and to highlight the interpretation of the acquired data, and to determine the consequent value-added decisions based on the analysis. Surveillance data add value through incremental benefits in terms of production gain or water curtailment, and by incorporating data into ongoing reservoir-management and -mapping studies. Focusing on a New Approach The approach focuses on value generated from the acquired-data interpretation to provide reservoir pressure; reservoir permeability; water saturation; sweep efficiency; well-productivity index; well flow capacity; fluid contacts; and flow rates of oil, gas, and water. The significance of surveillance information through routine and planned diagnostic and monitoring purposes is measured against an ultimate gain in production, water curtailment, production optimization, and overall meeting of best reservoir-management practices. Timely update of information, through surveillance, on the water-encroachment maps and in simulation studies is instrumental for optimizing recovery and formulating a better depletion strategy.

Abstract Every field development plan should go through a ‘quantitative’ option ranking process in order to select the optimum scenario for developing that field. Doing so efficiently will help in identifying the optimum project concept for the delivery of value to Kuwait Oil Company. An example of where such a ranking process was essential was in the development plan for the Minagish Reservoir in the Greater Burgan Field. Within South-East Kuwait asset, this reservoir has to be treated ‘unconventionally’ since its Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) concentration is high, in relation to the ability of the existing facilities to handle sour crude production. This has contributed to the low recovery factor from this reservoir which has been on production for over 50 years. Therefore, a new surface development plan for this reservoir had to be generated to assist KOC in meeting/sustaining its production targets for the year 2020 onward. The choice for optimum surface production scenario came through a ‘quantitative’ ranking process. This can be broken down into a number of separate steps: Agree to the objectives of the project and the value added to KOC.Capture production options and development concepts to meet the objectives of the project. This was done through a number of brainstorming sessions. The team involved came from several areas of the company with different backgrounds.These options were screened for viability for implementation.Agree to the ranking criteria for the project to determine appropriateness in terms of delivering value and meeting objectives.Rank each of the chosen options against the selection criteria agreed. This will provide the most appropriate concept(s) to be considered for detailed engineering. Such a ranking process was particularly useful in this case because of the number of options available and broad range of project objectives. It is recommended to consider this method for ranking options in future projects. This paper describes the facility selection process implemented for the Minagish reservoir development plan.

An approach to model building is described which begins with the establishment of a matrix reflecting the basic features of the fisheries sector, and then proceeds to incorporate these features into a model structure. The model includes a set of policy objectives and constraints, and is formulated as a mathematical programming problem. The modelling framework enables quantitative data on fish resources, production techniques (including aquaculture), market demand forecasts and other biological, economic and marketing parameters to be utilized in assessing the implications of various fishery policy objectives. The model not only estimates the real cost of alternative policies but also takes into account the various biological and economic constraints to production. Rapid assessment of a range of policy objectives is therefore made possible. As an example of the application of the modelling framework, the development of a fisheries sector plan for Kuwait is described. Such planning involved establishing the most appropriate way to maximize fresh fish self-sufficiency while reconciling the production from a multi-gear, multi-species capture fishery with the need to develop an aquaculture industry in the country. The modelling framework allowed the rapid identification of appropriate development policies consistent with the biological, economic and marketing constraints of the fisheries sector and also allowed an assessment of the cost of each policy objective.

Abstract Greater Burgan is the second largest oil field and the largest clastic reservoir in the world. There are over 1000 wells on production in this field. There is a robust plan to drill more wells in the coming years to cater for world demand in production. It is therefore necessary to track and report the production and field performance from this giant field in a timely and effective manner. This paper describes the approach taken towards the development of an integrated tracking and reporting metrics tool which displays operational data to key decision makers to monitor field performance and make practical decisions. The metrics report provides a comprehensive view of the performance of an asset using key performance indicators (KPIs) in the form of a dashboard. Information is captured from corporate databases, in house tools and data sources tracking daily operations. The report is displayed graphically for quick overview of categories such as daily production, subsurface and shut-in well potential, facility capacity and constraints, well work, production tests, surveillance activities, wet and dry completions, production allowables, and other pertinent highlights through a single visual interface. Designed as a scorecard the tool provides a platform for increased collaboration and knowledge capture between assets. It reduces time spent looking for data thereby allowing more time for higher priority issues. The impact is directly on the reservoir management strategies, production management, prioritization of well work and surveillance activity. The metrics report is a best practice implemented by KOC Field Development South East Kuwait Asset Group to monitor the Greater Burgan oil field performance and optimize its production. Value added decision making is made easy wherein plans are properly implemented and targets are met. The designing, completing, and operating aspects of this successful reporting tool are highlighted together with the challenges and accomplishments.

Major development projects, within the third review of the Kuwait Master Plan (KMP3), are proposed for the period (2005–2030). These projects include, among other things, the construction of new towns, industrial areas, power plants, highways, hospitals, waterfront projects and sanitary projects. All of these projects are well known to have adverse environmental impacts unless necessary precautions are taken in their planning stages. As per Article 8 of Law 21 of 1995 and its amendments, the proponents of such projects are requested to submit a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) document for review before an environmental permit is given by the Environment Public Authority (EPA) in Kuwait. There is at present inadequate information available to help the proponents in this task, and the aim of this paper, is to provide a set of preliminary guidelines for the review and development of EIS documents for various types of major development projects. Although the examples focus on Kuwait, the principles discussed are generally applicable. The future challenges to enhance the review and development process are also discussed.

Abstract In Kuwait, drilling and deployment plans focus mainly on drilling vertical wells through a wide range of reservoirs consisting of high- and low-permeability sandstones and carbonates, with varying crude types from medium-heavy to condensate. Since 1935, Kuwait has produced mainly from the types of reservoirs that keep its daily production as high as possible to accommodate the country’s economic needs. With the aging of these mature reservoirs, reservoir pressure reduction and water production become a major challenge, in addition to the limited access to drilling resources. Accordingly, exploring different reservoirs and unlocking the potential of the existing low- to mid-permeability reservoirs through advanced fracturing technologies are considered the alternative plan to compensate for production decreases and to improve oil production. However, implementing such technologies requires a customized design and candidate selection process. The plan involved a multidisciplinary well candidate screening and selection criteria for different reservoirs and fields. The criteria include different parameters such as bubblepoint pressure, minimum formation thickness, and rock mineralogy, in addition to the study of the previously applied production enhancement technologies. About 50 wells have been selected from different reservoirs and fields across Kuwait for the initial pilot plan to evaluate the potential of a wide range of reservoirs. Then, a customized fracturing technology design followed that included operational planning, execution, and evaluation. Approximately 20 fracturing treatments were executed successfully, and the post-job evaluation showed two- to four fold gains in production. This changed the development strategy and allowed for further development plans for these reservoirs. These newer plans included the application of technologies such as channel fracturing for proppant fracturing and fiber-laden self-diverting acid system for acid treatments. The well candidate selection criteria and customized design of channel fracturing technology for the sandstone reservoirs and fiber-laden self-diverting acid system technology for fractured carbonate reservoirs resulted in a total additional gain of approximately 15,000 B/D. The detailed engineering design from candidate selection to treatment and the application of optimized hydraulic fracturing technologies enabled production enhancement and additional recoverable reserves from the most challenging low-permeability and low-API gravity candidates for the first time in Kuwait where conventional stimulation techniques were not providing the expected results.

Abstract In Kuwait, drilling and deployment plans focus mainly on drilling vertical wells through a wide range of reservoirs consisting of high- and low-permeability sandstones and carbonates, with varying crude types from medium-heavy to condensate. Since 1935, Kuwait has produced mainly from the types of reservoirs that keep its daily production as high as possible to accommodate the country's economic needs. With the aging of these mature reservoirs, reservoir pressure reduction and water production become a major challenge, in addition to the limited access to drilling resources. Accordingly, exploring different reservoirs and unlocking the potential of the existing low- to mid-permeability reservoirs through advanced fracturing technologies are considered the alternative plan to compensate for production decreases and to improve oil production. However, implementing such technologies requires a customized design and candidate selection process. The plan involved a multidisciplinary well candidate screening and selection criteria for different reservoirs and fields. The criteria include different parameters such as bubblepoint pressure, minimum formation thickness, and rock mineralogy, in addition to the study of the previously applied production enhancement technologies. About 50 wells have been selected from different reservoirs and fields across Kuwait for the initial pilot plan to evaluate the potential of a wide range of reservoirs. Then, a customized fracturing technology design followed that included operational planning, execution, and evaluation. Approximately 20 fracturing treatments were executed successfully, and the post-job evaluation showed two- to four fold gains in production. This changed the development strategy and allowed for further development plans for these reservoirs. These newer plans included the application of technologies such as channel fracturing for proppant fracturing and fiber-laden self-diverting acid system for acid treatments. The well candidate selection criteria and customized design of channel fracturing technology for the sandstone reservoirs and fiber-laden self-diverting acid system technology for fractured carbonate reservoirs resulted in a total additional gain of approximately 15,000 B/D. The detailed engineering design from candidate selection to treatment and the application of optimized hydraulic fracturing technologies enabled production enhancement and additional recoverable reserves from the most challenging low-permeability and low-API gravity candidates for the first time in Kuwait where conventional stimulation techniques were not providing the expected results.

South Saad Al Abdullah is a new city under development in the State of Kuwait. According to the state's master plan, it should be completed in 2025, and is expected to be the first smart city in Kuwait, as well as the broader region of the Middle East. This paper uses appropriate criteria derived from prior studies, and a direct comparison to Singapore, which has been ranked as the top smart city globally, to assess the extent that South Saad Al Abdullah city can be treated as “smart”. The paper also presents the results from a series of interviews with officials about the current and planned smart systems found in the city. The interviews reveal that among the challenges faced by the planners is identifying optimal locations for certain systems, such as traffic cameras and air quality monitoring stations. Additionally, the lack of a centralised system that monitors and connects the various automated smart systems is highlighted by the interview responses. In response to these challenges, it is proposed that Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can be used to address the issues in a realistic and timely fashion.

Abstract It is a global challenge to comprehensively understand the rock &amp; fluids and the impact of interactions between them to fine tune development plans &amp; strategy. Interpretative &amp; qualitative factors often could lead to sub optimal plans &amp; actions impacting the recovery efficiency. This uncertainty to be minimized, MICRO reservoir management is practiced to reap the benefits in terms of enhanced oil production &amp; water flood efficiency. Sabiriyah Mauddud is a carbonate reservoir in North Kuwait with a massive development &amp; production enhancement plan with water flood and eventually with EOR. Surprises in terms of rock &amp; fluid (R-F) understanding influenced changes in the development plan in the past, some of such changes triggered major departures from the originally conceived plans. All major turnaround impacted by R-F insights have been reviewed, along with the mitigation plans adopted by the team. MICRO (Monitoring Integrating Communicating Re-vitalizing Orchestrating) is a new buzz concept, initiated by authors in the industry, to improve the overall excellence &amp; efficiency. The concept has been implemented with associated workflow processes to optimize the water flood development. A typical diagnostics of the segment under water flood is done to illustrate the value of R-F understanding &amp; reservoir management of the giant carbonate reservoir in North Kuwait. A comprehensive data acquisition, integration &amp; interpretation plan helps in reducing the uncertainties while the reservoir is under active production &amp; injection. Carefully planned appraisal programs have added insights to understand the relatively less-understood flanks. R-F and interactions understanding is augmented by laboratory studies &amp; focused surveillance data. Additionally, MICRO proved to be the backbone for complete gamut of activities so as to reduce the uncertainties &amp; gaps. The segment reviews led to many vital decisions on thief zones, fractures, re-circulation on injected water, connectivity between producers &amp; injectors, actions on producers / injectors for conformance improvement and opportunities for oil gain with reduced water cut. Work flow processes have been standardized and validated with successful trials. R-F - Interaction linkage to water flood &amp; production efficiency using MICRO approach is a proven way to manage a giant &amp; complex carbonate reservoir in North Kuwait, the results of which are interesting &amp; worth sharing with the global professionals.

Abstract Meeting 2040 KPC Strategic plan objectives and KOC production targets will require adoption of new cost-effective technologies and methods in Kuwait fields, resulting in incremental oil production and extended life of the fields. Long-term oil production through artificial lift application can lead to pressure depletion and water cut incremental in mature fields, which can cause obvious wellbore impairments, particularly in medium to week formations such as Wara and Upper Burgan formations. One of the critical parameters that will have great influence on maturing this strategy is sand management-field development. Recently some of high producing wells perforated in Wara sandstone Formation in the Greater Burgan field in Kuwait have been plugged due to sand production issues. Understanding the causes of this critical challenge will definitely help KOC in finding the optimum sand management work flow and select the right sand control technologies to maximize the oil production in Wara formation. Several sand characterization tests were conducted on core plugs and produced samples collected downhole, ESP wellbore data was linked with well logs analysis and production data for understanding the sand production phenomena within the intervals and help establish a sand collapse model. Based on the lab work, modeling and ESP real time data, a screening benchmark was developed for sand management and control for Wara formation. The unique customized screening criteria will support South East Kuwait (SEK) field development to identify/avoid the potential sanding intervals and sustain oil production at safe drawdown pressure, which definitely will prevent ESP failures and extend the ESP lifetime. The risk assessment for potential sanding intervals has been established to predict sand production in most new Wara wells. Some Wara wells targeting shallower or weaker sands would normally be sand control candidates, by taking into account the completion design, optimizing surface sand management workflow, managing safe drawdown and BHFP levels, and taking advantage of favorable stress vectors through oriented perforation can encompass the sand free well operating envelopes over life of well production and depletion conditions.

Abstract Approximately 75% of the proven conventional oil reserves in the Middle East occur in carbonate reservoirs like Mauddud in North Kuwait. Today, this reservoir is the focus of aggressive development through drilling of horizontal wells. Mauddud in North Kuwait is heterogeneous with varying rock and fluid properties between crest and periphery. A major challenge in its development is the presence of high permeability streaks that are random, inconsistent and unpredictable. Though typical of carbonates this causes early breakthrough into producers and cycling of injection water into patterns resulting in poor sweep efficiency and oil recovery. The reservoir is under active water flood for over 10 years. Horizontal wells is not something new to KOC yet their objective, completion and integration with development plan is more holistic now than before. Mauddud today is at a point where its character, quality and condition favors development by horizontal and multi-lateral wells. The objective of drilling new horizontal wells is to have large contact area of the reservoir and the good news is that, despite early mixed results, we are beginning to see their positive impact. Modeling studies have indicated that a combination of pattern and peripheral water flood would help maintain reservoir pressure and achieve reasonable oil recovery. Encouraging production results from recent horizontal completions at the periphery of Mauddud structure, where rock quality is not good, is the beginning of a new phase of development in the life of this reservoir. The incremental production benefit is expected to be around 2-2.5 times the vertical. The paper discusses the typical design considerations, problems in drilling, lessons learnt, their benefit over offset vertical wells and test results of some of these wells drilled in Mauddud Reservoir.

Abstract Currently, the process safety risk associated with the siting, layout, segregation and spacing of the facilities and equipment is managed through the application of a series of standards developed long ago, when the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) (the Company) oil and gas operations were less complex, and the presence of associated H2S was relatively low. In terms of Building Risk Assessment (BRA), there is no specific company standard or procedure to reflect the best practices to be followed on this subject. However, international standards, mainly API 752 and 753, are followed for the siting and design of buildings located within the facilities. Additionally, the Company have embarked in an aggressive plan to substantially increase production by 2040 and beyond. This means that existing oil and gas fields will continue to be developed over the next two decades, which will entail a tendency to congestion, both in the fields and in the facilities layout. In order to successfully contribute to underpin the significant increase in activity and infrastructure required to safely achieve production growth for 2040 and beyond, the Company have decided to improve the approach to siting and layout by undertaking the development of world-class best practices to provide risk-based guidelines for field spacing. Clearly, the Company realized that optimum location (siting) and layout minimizes material and construction costs, but more importantly, significantly reduces risks, and hence, increases process safety throughout the facility's life cycle. It also allows for building inherent safety into the design of plants and facilities. It is also very important to mention that optimum location (siting) and layout of the facilities will clearly result in an enhanced use of land, which in turn contributes to an adequate management of this limited resource in the State of Kuwait. Considering all the above, the proper management of process risks derived from siting and layout has been identified as of key importance for the safe operation and success of the company's activities, both at present and particularly in the near future. This paper describes the process of developing the risk-based guidelines for field spacing, including the methodology, criteria, consequence modelling, etc. that was undertaken for KOC to create look-up tables, graphs, to facilitate layout in a consistent manner throughout all project phases from concept selection, when relatively little is known, through detailed engineering.
