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...

Surface water recycling is essential for addressing water scarcity in arid regions like Iran. This study assesses the feasibility of enhancing surface water reuse in Tehran’s urban infrastructure by focusing on the cit...

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...

This paper introduces a hybrid deep learning architecture to precisely detect surface water resources in deserted and dry areas in Central India with Sentinel-2 RGB images. Conventional spectral techniques are affected b...

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 The use of artificial light is a common strategy in purse seine fisheries, particularly in Zone C waters off Kuala Terengganu, where it enhances aggregation of pelagic species. This study evaluated the effective...

The transport industry has recently shown significant interest in unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), specifically for port and inland waterway transport. These systems can improve operational efficiency and safety, which ...

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics (MPs) are certain types of persistent plastic contaminants that are a cause of concern to both the ecosystems and human health. The nanotechnologies o...

Spatio-temporal evaluation of agricultural water use under both observed and future climate conditions is essential for identifying opportunities for water conservation and supporting sustainable farming practices. Howev...

This research examines the determinants of agricultural land prices in the Mendoza River Basin, with emphasis on the marginal contribution of irrigation water as a strategic resource in an arid context. An original geore...

Abstract Multi-component nanofluids have attracted increasing attention for advanced heat transfer and energy systems; however, experimental data on oxide-based quadri-hybrid nanofluids, particularly regarding their coup...

The free surface resolution in current load calculations increases costs significantly when using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), even though the small Froude number of a dynamic positioning (DP) vessel suggests mini...

Abstract A strong association exists between land use land cover change and, Land Surface Temperature (LST). The study focuses on the assessment of vegetation cover, comprising forests and agricultural land, which are cr...

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...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable in the hydrologic cycle that directly affects the redistribution of precipitation and surface balance. ET measurements with high temporal resolution are required for coupling wit...

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...

The water quality characteristics of shale oil produced water are complex and highly unstable, which poses difficulties for its treatment, storage, and resource utilization. This study focused on shale oil produced water...

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...

This study examined the effects of different irrigation methods, water quality, and irrigation levels on yield components and water-use efficiency of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under semi-arid climate conditions. The m...

Robotics has evolved a lot since its origin. The design of these robots is done based on various aspects, and one such aspect is bioinspired robots, which lies one of the most challenging fields were a robot is developed...

The dissolution behavior of atmospheric calcium (Ca) mineral dust released from arid regions and their climate impacts via buffering effects are highly dependent on their size-resolved mineralogical composition. Due to t...

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...

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...
