Economic, Energetic, and Environmental Impact Evaluation of the Water Discharge Networks from Mining Works
Sustainable development represents an optimistic scenario for the evolution of contemporary civilization. The object of this paper is to define certain evaluation criteria regarding the performances of water discharge networks from mining works, and propose a method for aggregating the specific indi...
