This study projects future water demand scenarios in the Upper Indus Basin, focusing on reference, high population growth, increased irrigation, and lower population growth scenarios. The baseline scenario indicates a significant rise in water demand from 35.74 billion cubic meters (BCMs) in 2020 to 60.28 BCM by 2035, driven by population growth and increased domestic water consumption. High population

In current study, a novel adsorbent of CuFe2O4/CuS magnetic nanocomposite (MNC) was constructed via a green approach for tetracycline (TC) removal. The leaf extract of the Alhagi pseudalhagi plant was employed as a green reductant agent. The features of the nanocomposite were characterized using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM, BET, and VSM. Batch studies were conducted to assess the impact of parameters, including

This research aimed to ascertain the Manning roughness coefficient (n) and explore the impact of various factors on it across different phases and irrigation events. The Manning’s n for furrow irrigation was determined in the advance, storage, and whole irrigation phases utilizing the SIPAR_ID model, Manning equation, and WinSRFR software, respectively. Parameters affecting the Manning’ n were identified

Wastewater discharge is important in numerous areas of industries and in governance of the environmental sectors. Controlling and monitoring water pollution are essential for protecting the availability of water and upholding standards of sustainability. Thus, in the current study, the effects of pollutant discharge concentration (PDC) are considered while analyzing the flow of non-Newtonian nanofluids

Understanding household water dynamics is crucial for achieving SDG 6 targets. This study explores the impact of 16 socio-demographic variables on household water demand in a tropical Nigerian community from February 2023 to January 2024, surveying eighty diverse households monthly. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to the survey data. Females constituted 85.8%, with 98.0% aged at

Remediation of water pollution or removal of pollutant molecules by efficient substrates with long life is very important and challenging. Techniques based on adsorption and extensive use of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (MXenes) with the presence of terminal functional groups have provided a high potential in the separation of organic aromatic pollutants. In this work, a 2D substrate

Microalgae are recognized for their potential in the bioremediation of acid mine drainage (AMD), despite the challenges posed by AMD's low pH, high heavy metal content, and oligotrophic conditions. However, the impact of AMD chemoautotrophic microorganisms on microalgal growth and remediation efforts within AMD has been largely overlooked. This study aims to elucidate the effects the chemoautotrophic

The ecological state of aquatic ecosystems is systematically monitored using various bioindicators in many countries worldwide. In the European Union, freshwater biomonitoring is the central component of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC) and currently based on morpho-taxonomic methods. DNA metabarcoding is a novel approach to assess the ecological state fast and efficiently based on

Single-solute batch kinetic and isotherm experiments were conducted in Type 1 (18.2 MΩ·cm resistivity) water supplemented with 10 mM carbonate buffer (pH 7.75, 25°C) for nine drinking water relevant perfluoroalkyl chemicals and three bituminous-coal based granular activated carbons (GACs). Except for perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), mass transfer was well represented by a film diffusion model
