Groundwater sources play an important role in meeting the day today needs of the present generation. Frequent monitoring of the ground water source plays an important part. The aim of this study is to analyze the quality of the ground water in and around the solid waste dumpsite near Sathyamangalam...

The increasing industrialization and urbanization in recent times has led to a significant increase in heavy metal pollution in soil and sediment. The present study aims to evaluate the heavy metal contamination (HmC) in surface sediments collected from the Kosasthalaiyar River located between...

Rapid urbanisation, industrialization, and population growth have fostered an urgent need for a green, clean-living environment. Among the many pollutants, gaseous pollutants like NO2, SO2, and particle pollutants like PM 2.5 and PM 10 have a profound negative impact on human health. In this...

For decades, climate models have been used to understand the present and historical climates, especially global climate models (GCMs). They are used to understand the interaction between climate system processes and forecast future climates. However, the issue of low resolution and accuracy often...

In this research the arsenic contaminations issues are exposed and suitable measures are recommended through electrokinetic remediation. The arsenic expulsion was assessed using the electro kinetic remediation from two different soil tests; alluvial clay soil and red clay soil taken from the...

The aim of this study was to investigate the tensile strength reduction of four different materials: steel, polypropylene, polyethylene and glass fiber/epoxy (GFRP), under the conditions in a chemical scrubber. In detail, the performance of these materials in an acidic environment was assessed. The...

Water pollution has been acknowledged as an issue of concern due to recalcitrant pollutants like textile dyes. Therefore, the eco-friendly synthesis of nano-particles (NPs) through green chemistry approach from sources and materials of organic origin has not only enhanced the properties of substance...

The wastes are in many forms consist of organic materials like human, medical, food, plastics, construction waste etc. many researchers are focused on the waste management to gives more importance to the environment. The bio degradable waste was used in this research with naturals fibers. The need...

In coastal lagoons, eutrophication is a significant ecological and environmental problem. The majority of the pollution and deterioration problems that coastal zones and their ecosystems face are due to human influence through urbanization and industrialization. In this research, evaluations of...

Urbanized areas groundwater vulnerability and contamination are serious issues that require due attention. There are other models, notably the DRASTIC models employed to assess the vulnerability of groundwater. In a modified version of the DRASTIC model known as anthropogenic influence was...

A series of flow-cell experiments were performed to investigate the performance of cosmetic rhamnolipid surfactant flooding on the relationship between source zone mass removal and mass flux reduction for pool-dominated DNAPL TCE source zones in heterogeneous porous media. The results were also...

Contamination of groundwater by chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE, tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1DCE) is a widespread problem that can seriously threaten human health and the environment. These compounds are often present as dense nonaqueous phase liquid...

In order to explore an effective assessment method for the treatment effect of heavy metal pollution in the sediment of Taihu Lake in China, based on the research background analysis and literature review, this paper reconstructs the spatial niche suitability model and applies it to the effect...

Several chemical coagulants previously utilize for wastewater treatment with significant performance in removing heavy metals and other parameters. However, their cost effective and the residual of toxic chemical precipitates that pose problems to human health and the environment. Therefore, using...

This study was conducted to evaluate the attributable proportion and relative risks caused by inevitable exposure of humans to particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). The health impacts of particulates in terms of attributable proportion were modulated using AirQ+ software. Input data related to...

Drought is a disastrous natural phenomenon. It is generally viewed as a sustained and regionally extensive occurrence of below average natural water availability either in the form of rainfall, river runoff or groundwater. Drought is defined based on different factors and generally assessed in...

Growing environmental awareness coupled with stricter regulations has pushed various industries to look for appropriate technologies to treat wastewater. Natural coagulants have recently been used as part of water and wastewater technologies due to their performance, cost-effectiveness when compared...

Recycling of wastewater is an important issue as it is used for many important applications such as industries, agriculture, household applications and due to water scarcity across the different countries. Wastewater treatment is an important activity as it protects human being and the ecosystem...

This study emphasis on draining and slowing runoff volumes in arid and semi-arid lands regions using HEC-HMS model linked with various Best Management Practices (BMPs) alternatives. The proposed methods may help significantly in reducing flash flood precipitation and improving instream water quality...

An approach was used in this study to relate the predicted and calculated water quality index (WQI) of the Brahmani River. The WQI was predicted using an artificial neural network (ANN) tool, and the weighted Arithmetic Index technique was used to calculate the WQI (WAI). The WQI is calculated using...

In Gilgit-Baltistan, urbanization, transportation, unplanned small-scale industry, kitchen waste, inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, and weedicides contribute to agricultural field contamination, creating severe health risks. This study aims to determine the health risks caused by...

Anthracene and phenanthrene belong to a group of persistent environmental contaminants called PAHs. Evaluation of the structure of two selected PAHs i.e. anthracene and phenanthrene on their resistance to destruction by UV-activated PDS was the aim of this study. The authors focused on two aspects...

In the present work a new freely available web-based tool is developed within Google Earth Engine (GEE) that aims to support water agencies, farmers and public services acquire information on the water budget components in the areas of their interest. The tool makes use of the high-resolution land...

To assess the impact of climate change on wind regimes, we performed a statistical analysis of some meteorological parameters. Indeed, variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and insolation are rarely or not considered in the estimation of wind regimes and therefore in the...
