Legislative framework regarding wastewater treatment in the Republic of Serbia and flow and transport modelling in the determination on effluent quality of wastewater treatment plant of Belgrade central sewerage system

The largest sewerage system in Belgrade is Belgrade Central Sewerage System, which covers the area of about 85% of the sewerage network, with about 1,250,000 inhabitants connected to the sewage infrastructure. The interaction of emission limit values, environmental quality standards, wastewater, effluent and recipient characteristic flows and qualities from the standpoint of environmental impact in the unfavorable environmental conditions was modelled to define the level of wastewater treatment at future Belgrade Central Sewerage System wastewater treatment plant

Content and distribution of iron in river sediments at borehole site Rb-6/P-5d in area of Belgrade water supply

The current problem of water supplying systems for large cities with quality drinking water be‐ comes more and more complex every day. Consumption is growing rapidly due to an increase in the number of inhabitants, an increase in per capita consumption, and a number of large water consumers, such as industry and agriculture. For many cities, including Belgrade, the main source of drinking water is groundwater. The captured groundwater of Belgrade water source is formed in alluvial deposits of the Sava River and layers of Pleistocene age, previously formed from torrential flows of melted glaciers. Beside the limiting factor of the "capacity of the site", during the exploitation of the wells, due to the rapid ageing of wells, reducing of the capacity of the well and screen is observed (Dimkić, 2017). Reducing of the capacity of the well and screen happens due to hydrogeological, hydrological, hydraulic factors, as well as geochemical, mechanical and biological processes that take place in the collector of groundwater. Interaction of these factors leads to the formation of "deposits" (e.g. Majkić‐Dursun et al., 2015), which causes clogging the perforations on well screen structures and thus reduces the capacity of wells. Preliminary studies of water supply wells of the Belgrade groundwater source indicated to the increased content of iron in the deposits which causes clogging the filter perforations. The aim of this research is to determine the content of iron in individual lithological layers, as well as the distribution of iron content along the stratigraphic column, particularly in the aquifer, as a potential source of iron and the causative agent for the formation of the deposits on the well screen. These studies are part of the activities on the definition of the mechanism of transport of iron from the primary lithological setting, as well as on elucidation of the mechanism responsible for the precipitation of iron‐bearing deposits (i.e. iron minerals) on the well screen

Bounds for the Gini mean difference via the Sonin identify

Some bounds for the Gini mean difference of a continuous distribution by the use of the Sonin identify are given

Bounding the Gini Mean Difference

Some recent results on bounding and approximating the Gini mean difference in which the author was involved for both general distributions and distributions supported on a finite interval are surveyed. The paper supplements the previous work utilising the Steffensen and Karamata type approaches in approximating and bounding the Gini mean difference
