Abstract: Our approach incorporates the possibility of stepwise CO2 purification in areas of the free atmosphere by spraying of alkaline compounds inside the clouds via an airplane. It causes significantly increases of the СО2 solubility in rain droplets during their gravitational fall to provide the effective carbon transport to the ground. Presented calculations show a considerable increase of the gas/water interface for perfect CO2 absorption. This future technology can compensate for annual carbon emission by method application at 0.42% – 0.14% of our planet surface.

Abstract: Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) design is predominantly based on expert opinion supported by descriptive guidance documents. The aim of this paper is to compare the novel Capacity Down Pipe SuDS technique in terms of its design, operation, maintenance, management and cost efficiency with other SuDS techniques. The assessment criteria are based on novel ecosystem service variables including those characterising flood and diffuse pollution control for fitting and retrofitting of key SuDS techniques particularly for the domestic housing market. The paper proposes the application of SuDS techniques that obtain high ecosystem service scores for a specific urban site. This approach contrasts with methods based on traditional civil engineering judgment linked to standard variables based on community and environment studies. For a case study area (Greater Manchester), a comparison with the traditional approach of determining community and environment variables indicates that soakaways and infiltration trenches are generally less preferred than capacity down pipes, ponds and filter strips. However, belowground storage tanks, swales and permeable pavements also received relatively high scores, because of their great potential impact in terms of flood volume control. The application of the proposed methodology will lead to changes of the sustainable drainage infrastructure in the urban landscape by promoting the novel capacity down pipe technology, which has a very low footprint and is inexpensive.

Abstract: Acoustic method was analyzed to obtain fast droplets coalescence inside nature clouds up to rainy big sizes with gravity sedimentation. Droplets are triggered by sound waves which provide the same high speed for coalescence process near 300 m/s. Optimal acoustic generator is proposed, optimal regimes for cloud droplets have been found at low frequencies of f 100 Hz with low acoustical power. Aadditional acoustic possibilities for rain stimulations provide fast improvement for hot arid weather in local areas on tens-kilometer scales.
