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...

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...

IntroductionUrban wetlands are considered an important nature-based solution to mitigate flood impacts in built-up areas like Colombo, Sri Lanka, due to rapid urbanization and intensifying rainfall events. Wetlands withi...

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...

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 Watershed degradation driven by land-use change, climate variability, and rising water demand threatens water security and ecosystem services in underdeveloped countries like Nepal. Local participation is essent...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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 catholyte-free zero-gap electrolyzer is a promising design for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to formate at industrial scale, offering low cell voltages and high product concentrations. However, its large-scal...

Water information systems (ISs) are essential for sustainable water management but are often constrained by fragmented, heterogeneous, and rapidly evolving data. Advances in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), pa...

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...

Water build-up has continued to be one of the leading causes of performance variability and loss of durability in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), especially at the high current density and transient operati...

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...

IntroductionThis study attempted to explore the perception and experiences of facilitators and challenges in the implementation of modular, adaptive, and decentralized water infrastructure in the community. It also aimed...

Abstract Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of sustainable development. Among all the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 6 (Clean Drinking Water and Sanitation) is dist...

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...

Numerous research efforts have explored novel strategies to alleviate water scarcity in various regions of Ethiopia. In this context, growing attention has been directed toward assessing the economic value of multiple wa...

Amid growing water crises, climate change, and intensified human activities, there is an urgent need to assess water conditions from an ecological perspective. This study evaluated Water Security with an Ecological Lens ...

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...

Abstract Groundwater provides a vital component of water supplies in semi-arid environments, wherein its quality directly influences ecosystem stability and human well-being. This investigation presents the first complet...
