Abstract Invasive water hyacinth threatens Lake Tana, Ethiopia—the source of the Blue Nile. This study presents the first comprehensive 11-year (2013–2024) remote sensing assessment of the water hyacinth invasion dyn...

This research develops a water-centric nexus assessment framework for Thailand's major crops: rice, sugarcane, and cassava, within shared cultivation areas. The framework examines interaction among water use, agricultura...

In recent decades, escalating climate change, continuous population growth, rapid urbanization, and extensive agricultural development have placed increasing pressure on global ecosystems. Particularly in China, intensiv...

Background: Water tankering has increasingly been adopted as a short-term water provision strategy by South African municipalities, particularly in regions experiencing infrastructure failures, governance challenges, an...

The water crisis is not a real environmental disaster; it is not only a disaster, but a deep social and humanitarian crisis, which is currently seen as the struggle of the 21st century of the world. Water scarcity is a s...

Introduction: Water is a precious substance that sustains life on our planet. Nowadays, the quantity and quality of this natural resource is threatened by the global warming, industrialization and urbanization. Purpose:...

As pressures on water and energy systems increase, integrated governance of water-energy nexus has gained importance. In Brazil, where hydropower is the main source of electricity and droughts are frequent, managing this...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in surface and ground water systems worldwide, making it an increasing threat to ecosystem integrity and human health. Despite a rapid increase in resea...

Abstract Physical sciences are essential to the predictive modeling of complex environmental systems, particularly environmental monitoring and sustainability applications, as they provide the deterministic foundation re...

The current study will deal with the problem of natural resource degradation, presenting a new, multifaceted approach to the measurement of watershed health. This idea determines the capacity of a watershed to be structu...

IntroductionWater plays an extremely important role in agricultural production. However, the impact of the water resource tax reform on grain yield has not yet been fully investigated.MethodsTaking the pilot reform of wa...

Abstract Background Microhabitat heterogeneity plays a crucial role in shaping plant water use strategies and ecophysiological processes in arid ecosystems, yet little is known about the coupled response of leaf water is...

The complex interplay between socioeconomic progress and environmental protection poses a major challenge to sustainable development in lake basins. To assess the dynamic relationship between these dimensions, this study...

Agricultural production necessitates sustainable practices to ensure long-term and sustained food security. Water is a key ingredient for food production. Ensuring sustainable water management in agriculture is thus esse...

Ensuring microbial safety in drinking water remains a challenge, particularly for ageing infrastructure and complex treatment processes. Because water treatment works sit at the interface between source-water ecosystem i...

Abstract Lithium (Li) recovery from secondary resources, such as mine waters, is essential to meet the increasing global demand. However, lithium in mine waters typically occurs at low concentrations, necessitating effic...

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide health concern that compromises the successful treatment of a growing array of infectious diseases, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. AMR is exaggera...

The objective of this study is to enhance the energy efficiency and environmental safety of boiler plants and engines equipped with waste heat recovery boilers. This objective is achieved by utilizing water-fuel emulsion...

Produced water, generated as a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, is a complex mixture characterized by high salinity and the presence of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, salts, and production-related chemicals. Its large v...

Smart environments play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals, particularly those related to environmental protection and public health. In recent years, environmental degradation caused by air and wa...

Abstract Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production is increasingly challenged by water limitations and declining soil quality, necessitating efficient alternatives to conventional cultivation. This review examines the ...

In recent years, many thermal power units in China that equipped with SCAL type indirect cooling systems have commonly encountered corrosion and leakage problems with aluminum radiators. This study conducted field resear...

Objective The Shanxi Formation, deposited during the critical transitional period from the sedimentary filling of epicontinental sea basins to the sedimentation of continental basins, exhibits well-developed shallow-wate...

Abstract Residues of pharmaceuticals are gradually accumulating in surface water resources because of the disposal of wastewater effluent. For the present study, four surface water resources (rivers and streams) that rec...
