Thermal groundwater resources constitute valuable health-oriented georesources, particularly when integrated into regional strategies for wellness, balneotherapy, and therapeutic tourism. This study presents the first comprehensive and integrated hyd...

Hydraulic redistribution (HR) in plants facilitates bidirectional water transport through the vascular system in response to soil water potential gradients, with implications for ecological facilitation. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and...

Artificial water bodies in post-mining landscapes often remain chemically altered and ecologically degraded, yet their ecological risk is frequently underestimated by conventional water quality assessments. Persistent toxicity in mining-impacted wate...

The Mar Menor is the second largest coastal lagoon in the Mediterranean Sea, with a surface area of about 136 km². It is restricted from the open sea by a sandy barrier system (La Manga) interrupted by three tidal inlets. As a result of high evaporat...

Anthropogenic activities interact through multifactorial processes that generate harmful factors, hindering wastewater management (WWM) and causing environmental degradation, particularly in rapidly urbanizing coastal regions. Understanding how these...

The North China Plain is one of the largest plains in China, where domestic water supply, agricultural irrigation, and industrial production rely on groundwater resources. Groundwater quality is increasingly affected by the combined effects of intens...

Unfavorable flow patterns, such as vortices and backflow in pump station forebays, can deteriorate pump suction conditions and exacerbate sediment deposition. This study investigates the effects of different pump unit operation combinations on the fl...

This study addresses the pressing issue of high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater, such as landfill leachate, by developing immobilized microbial beads that combine high mechanical strength with efficient denitrification performance. The beads were prepare...

Coastal erosion is increasingly influenced by anthropogenic alterations to the sediment cycle and morphological transformations. Traditional shallow water models often neglect the mechanical behavior of the seabed and its rheological response to hydr...

In accordance with the provisions of Directive (EU) 2020/2184, the largest water supply companies in the European Union (EU) will be required to report real water losses starting from 2026. The recommended water loss performance indicators (PIs) are...
