Water scarcity traps smallholder farmers in a vicious circle of poverty and challenges individual well-being. This study explores the impact of climate change on water resources and the factors influencing smallholder fa...

The article contains results of a statistical study of water resource accounting in Ukraine in the conditions of martial law. The regulatory framework of water use is shown: constitutional principles and provisions of th...

Abstract Large language models are beginning to appear in civil engineering practice, yet their advice often reflects generalized narratives rather than local evidence. This perspective introduces a governance audit fram...

Reconciling urban expansion with ecological integrity is a key objective of the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework, particularly in fluvial and coastal cities. Their extensive river networks and urban wetlan...

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...

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...

Water security in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is under existential threat from aquifer depletion, intensifying climate extremes, and escalating demand. While satellite Earth observation (EO) provides unprecedented...

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...

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...

Nature-based solutions (NbS) for urban stormwater management, including bioretention systems, constructed wetlands, green roofs, and permeable pavements, are increasingly promoted as climate adaptation tools that enhance...

Abstract The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a cornerstone technology in modern wastewater treatment, yet its performance is often hindered by carrier clogging, which significantly reduces overall treatment efficien...

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative tool for stormwater management with the potential to enhance resilience, efficiency, and equity across urban water systems. This paper examines the op...

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are increasingly used for landscape management on rewetted peatlands, where monitoring their behavior and welfare remains challenging due to large, water−rich and difficult−to-access g...

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...

Drier conditions have been observed in Northern Patagonia, Argentina, in the last decades, affecting the pastoralism production system. In this context, two laws were promoted to foster goat and sheep production. This re...

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 ...
