The aim of this work is to assess the risk of groundwater contamination associated with BTEX dissolution from fuels as a residual phase. Numerical simulations of sixty scenarios were carried out with the software HYDRUS ...

Abstract In sessile animals, body surface-associated water currents are essential for integrating feeding, cleaning, and boosting metabolic exchange across colonies or communities of solitary individuals. The evolutionar...

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...

We present a study of the microscopic dynamics of water trapped in reverse non-ionic micelles by means of a series of molecular dynamics simulations. The analysis of the effects of micellar confinement on spectroscopical...

Elimination behavior of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) molecules adsorbed on Cu(II)-supported hydroxyapatite (Cu-HAp) using warmed ultrapure water was investigated, and H2S adsorption ability of Cu-HAp before and after exposure ...

Abstract The acidity and buffering capacity of inland waters are essential for biogeochemical processes and impose significant constraints on the distribution of freshwater species. Although many measurements exist world...

Abstract Solar interface evaporation technology, as a green and low-carbon water treatment solution, faces the core challenge of how to co-optimize photothermal conversion, water transport, and energy management through ...

Water repellency related to organic matter (OM) of coatings along the earthworm burrows (EB) walls can facilitate preferential flow due to limiting the water exchange with the soil matrix. The objectives of this work wer...

Land surface and crop models both simulate irrigation, but they differ in their approaches, primarily because they were originally developed for distinct purposes and scales. Through an example case study in a highly irr...

Near-surface molecular-beam mass spectrometry (ns-MBMS) is a highly sensitive and non-destructive method for temporal monitoring of catalytic conversions on solid surfaces, yet not widely applied in heterogeneous catalys...

Arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) like Marsabit and Isiolo Counties in Kenya face significant water scarcity, necessitating accurate mapping of surface water resources. Even with mostly dry and arid conditions in these re...

Abstract Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of flooding, emphasizing the need to better understand these events. Satellite observations provide essential information, and the recent launch...

Surface water is the main source of water in Mosul city. Wastes including liquid and solid is finally reach the surface waters like rivers. As the length of the river increases, the utilization of the river water increas...

This study prepared a series of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) samples (denoted as NMT-x%) by tuning the methanol fraction (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) in a mixed methanol/N,N-dimethylformamide (MeOH/DMF) solvent system, and investigated t...

Understanding of thermodynamic variables in any binary liquid system is crucial for the development of industrial products. Among the various thermodynamic parameters, density (ρ), viscosity (η), surface tension (γ), ...

Abstract The article aims to examine how Ocean Studies and Blue Humanities, and especially the concepts of more than wet ontology and bodies of water, can contribute to a more than wet approach to Ontological Security St...

In marine environments, the increased drag force on vehicles impedes their speed underwater, leading to high energy consumption and reduced vehicle efficiency. Superhydrophobic coatings have gained remarkable attention r...

ZnO nanorods (ZnO NRs) were grown on ZnO seeded polyethylene tert-phtalate (PET) substrates obtained from recycled soda bottles at low temperatures (90 °C) from Zn2+ precursors in alkaline aqueous solution. The ZnO seed...

Peri-urban horticulture is crucial to local populations, but a global paucity of information exists regarding the contamination of the associated waterways because of this activity. The aim of this study was to assess pe...

Photocatalysis uses semiconductors to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Recent reports have shown that plasmonic nanostructures can be used to extend semiconductor light absorption or to drive direct photocatalysis ...

Seasonal flooding in Amuntai City, located in the downstream area of the Negara Sub-watershed, has become increasingly frequent, with land-use change identified early as one of the main contributing factors. This study a...

Abstract Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are elongated, narrow corridors of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere, transporting significant amounts of water vapor outside the tropics and causing heavy precipitation. ARs are o...

Abstract Given the escalating challenges of water scarcity and climate change, enhancing water productivity is crucial for achieving water security, particularly in arid regions with finite water resources. This study as...

The tidal dynamics of water affect not only the layers on the surface of the seas but also the entire water mass. The Tabanio River is a tidal-influenced water area with the highest utilisation level in Tanah Laut. Water...
