Konference PITNÁ VODA 2018
Ústav pro hydrodynamiku AV ČR byl jedním z pořadatelů konference PITNÁ VODA 2018, která byla již 14. pokračováním konferencí Pitná voda z údolních nádrží. Konference se věnovala celé šíři problematiky pitné vody a proběhla 28. – 31. května 2018 v hotelu Dvořák v Táboře. Příspěvky pracovníků Ústavu pro hydrodynamiku byly velmi zajímavé a měly kladný ohlas. Ze skupiny Úpravy vody se zúčastnili Martin Pivokonský, Lenka Pivokonská, […]
Water for life
Water is a basic prerequisite for the existence of life, an essential factor in the environment, a key natural resource, and an irreplaceable input in most economic branches. Any unsuitable intervention in the cycle or quality of water could cause a chain of serious consequences, which in extreme cases could end in the irreversible loss […]
Perfluorocarbons in water
The research of micropollutants including PFC (perfluorocarbons, perfluorated compounds – see the frame) in drinking water and their prospective influence on human health is nowadays one of the most significant research topics in the field of drinking water. Nevertheless, the practical applications in the drinking water treatment plant operations falls behind this basic research, although […]
Cyanobacteria – a hidden threat
Almost everyone certainly met with the Cyanobacteria outbreak in ponds and natural pools; however, in recent years it is nothing unusual in water reservoirs used as drinking water sources as well, which causes a plenty of difficulties to water treatment plants. The problem is usually not the cyanobacteria themselves but rather the substances they produce […]
Polymer Rheology
Nowadays we meet polymers everywhere. If we exclude a small cave next to a water spring we find the presence of polymers literally in every household. Do you want to make thermal insulation, to distribute water or gas, to paint, do you have cosmetics in your bathroom, have you invested in electronics or computer equipment? […]
Microplastics in water
Recently, the presence of plastics in water environment has gained considerable attention. Not only plastic litter that is visible to the naked eye, but also smaller debris – recognized as microplastics – are of a great interest. Microplastics (MPs; plastic particles smaller than 5 mm) have been detected in different water bodies, i.e. oceans, seas […]
