Spoil heaps have become a major source of anthropogenic soil erosion, but the hydrological responses and erosion mechanisms of in situ slopes under rainstorms remain poorly understood. We performed simulated rainfall experiments at real estate (Site...

Freshwater scarcity is a growing concern, exacerbated by industrial effluents containing dyes and other pollutants that endanger aquatic ecosystems. This study explores the potential of biochar sorbents, derived from renewable seaweed biomass, as a s...

Cyanobacteria harmful blooms (Cyano-HABs) have become a globally critical environmental issue, threatening freshwater ecosystems by degrading water quality and posing risks to human and aquatic life. Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), a key biomarker of bloom in...

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination has emerged as a significant global environmental issue, severely impacting soil microbial communities and their functions. This study employed high-throughput sequencing to systematically analyze the bacterial com...

Global water scarcity and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represent two escalating crises that urgently demand integrated and effective solutions. While wastewater reuse is increasingly promoted as a strategy to alleviate water scarcity, conventional...

The agricultural sector faces growing environmental and societal pressures to balance natural resource use with food security, particularly within the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems Nexus (WEFE). Increasing water demand, competition, and challenges lik...

In the context of intensifying climate and environmental changes, the high resilience of irrigation district infrastructure is of crucial importance for sustainable agriculture and water security. This paper proposes a resilience assessment indicator...

Coral reefs play an essential ecological role in maintaining marine water quality by naturally filtering contaminants. This study investigates the quantitative capability of coral reef ecosystems to reduce waterborne pollutants using biologically med...

This research focuses on groundwater mapping for the Çumra and Beyşehir Basins in Konya, a semi-arid region in Turkey that plays a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry. Geographic information systems (GIS), the analytical hie...

The vertical inline pump, a single-stage centrifugal pump with a bent elbow inlet, is widely used in marine engineering. The unique water inlet passage combined with uneven inflow at the impeller inlet tends to form an inlet vortex and secondary flow...
