ITSynergy will develop a TIS for Water Resources Management in Syria

The TIS will be developed using Open Source Software and will build on previous experiences of IT Synergy in this field.

According to Enzo Puliatti, chairman of IT Synergy, this initiative, accompanied by a fully fledged capacity transfer for the staff of the project, will provide the base for the establishment of a GIS based Digital Governorate Management System.

IT Synergy is expected to complete the this project within December 2007.

Planning

The principal factors to consider in planning a landfill are the capacity of the facility, the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome, the hydro-geology of the proposed site, the cost of the facility, and post-closure use of the land...

Introduction

Landfills are a vital component of any well-designed MSWM system. They are the ultimate repository of a city's MSW after all other MSWM options have been exercised. In many cases, the landfill is the only MSWM option available after the MSW is collected. The safe and effective operation of landfills depends on the sound planning, administration, and management of the entire MSWM system...

Energy production

In waste-to-energy plants, heat from the burning waste is absorbed by water in the wall of the furnace chamber, or in separate boilers. Water is heated to the boiling point and changes to steam. At that point, either the steam is used for heating, or it is used to turn turbines to generate electricity. The amount of energy recovered from waste is a function of the amount of waste combusted, the energy value of the waste stream, and the efficiency of the combustion process.
