Previous studies have found relationships among customer satisfaction, the management of water utilities, and users' willingness to pay (WTP) for improved water service quality. However, these studies have captured only ...

This study investigates the feasibility and implications of implementing smart water supply systems as an integral component of the broader smart city initiative in Qazvin, Iran. As cities worldwide face growing challeng...

This paper focuses on control systems for hybrid heat pumps that utilize the heat from return heat-ing water and outdoor air, designed to operate in district heating systems based on central heating plants. The aim of th...

To fulfil the goal, the methodological approach to the economic analysis of regions belonging of the river sub-basin – the Lower Dnipro sub-basin, was refined so as to base on computing the economic indicators reflecti...

The large-scale integrated hydrogen production model has become an important way to solve the problem of the “wind and solar curtailment” and promote the development of hydrogen energy industry. Whether it is pure wa...

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:...

This paper examines the impact of the 2008–2009 global financial crisis on water service quality challenges experienced by firms in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Using data from the World Bank’s BEEPS IV and V s...

Abstract Reasonable and efficient inter-basin water resources utilization is critical in alleviating water supply–demand constraints in water-scarce regions, improving rivers and lakes ecological conditions, and promot...

Revegetation in arid zones poses numerous challenges, due particularly to drought, extreme temperatures, high irradiance, and infertile soils, factors which threaten the survival of installed saplings. Nursery techniques...

The article examines the role of statistical accounting and classification of water resources in ensuring sustainable development, environmental balance, and economic security. Water is not only a fundamental component o...

Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) play a vital role in water resource management, particularly in developing countries such as Iran. Amid declining rainfall and increasing drought conditions, these systems offer a sust...

Abstract Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) is a suitable source of tetrahedral aluminum, which reacts with tetrahedral silicon from water glass (aqueous sodium or potassium silicate solution) in an exothermic reaction, form...

Andosol was unsuitable for crop production without large inputs of phosphorus fertilizer due to high levels of active aluminum making phosphorus insoluble. However, Miscanthus sinensis has dominated Andosol for centuries...

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 ...

Abstract Microbiological contamination of water poses an ongoing global public health concern. This study assesses the association between water quality and beef contamination within the slaughter-to-plate continuum, con...

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...

The identification of suitable models for predicting daily water flow is important for planning and management of water storage in reservoirs of Argentina. Long-term prediction of water flow is crucial for regulating res...

The question of whether all Polish citizens do have access to safe and clean water is not rhetorical. Astudy conducted by TNS OBOP4 in 2009 shows that over 60% of Poles do not trust to drink water without prior boiling. ...

Abstract Rapid and continuous urbanization has increased water demand in cities worldwide. Global assessments of urban water scarcity should be conducted using gridded hydrological information, but are hampered by the la...

Abstract The dual pressures of climate change and industrial water scarcity demand integrated solutions that jointly decarbonize power supply and reduce freshwater dependency. This study presents a site-specific, techno-...

Ageing is a complex biological process marked by gradual functional decline, reduced cellular resilience, and increased vulnerability to chronic diseases. Maintaining cell health has become a crucial strategy for extendi...

India’s strategic community has long been preoccupied with conventional military threats, but the security implications of environmental change remain underexplored. This paper examines the depletion of natural springs...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...
