Currently, pesticides are massively used in agricultural areas end up in watercourses, as they are usually final receptacles of organic contamination. A large number of wetlands such as ponds occurred in agricultural catchments. They are dynamic and...

Raw and thermally pretreated zeolite, denoted zeolite-T, was examined as a catalyst in the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation process. The catalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of p-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA) at an initial concentration...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) belong to the group of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are major environmental pollutants associated with the environment. In this study (preliminary), the concentrations of eighteen (18) PAHs in so...

A series of urgent issues such as global warming, frequent natural disasters, and water shortages are largely the result of heavy human interference and its induced changes in landscape structure [...]

Due to increasing anthropogenic activities, trace metals (TM) remain a major concern particularly in semi-arid countries with limited water resources. In this context, the present study aims to understand the geochemistry of trace metals in bottom se...

Hydrological variations hold a significant influence over the water chemistry in the karst systems within the critical zone. In this context, the Baget Catchment (BC) was monitored at high-resolution over 2 hydrological years. The high-frequency surv...

Litter decomposition in intermittent streams is driven by the biotic compartment and uniquely shaped by abiotic conditions such as flow variability. In this study, we compared microbial-mediated decomposition of three temperate native leaf species (a...

The St. Johns River, located in northeast Florida, USA, is a large watershed characterized by relatively flat topography, porous soils, and increasing urbanization. The city of Jacksonville, Florida is located near the downstream terminus of the rive...

This study aims to assess the impact of the 2010–2011 flash floods on the crop production of Sanghar—an eastern district of Sindh. The population of almost two million is mainly dependent on agriculture. Cotton, sugarcane, and wheat are t...

Green roofs performance is strongly impacted by climatic conditions, design parameters and aging. In particular, the evolution in time of physical and chemical properties may lead to substantial changes in their retention and detention capacity. The...

Production of electric energy from rivers by using mini- as well as micro-hydroelectric power plants is a possible solution, especially in rural and isolated areas. Numerous waterways in Croatia and their hydrological and hydrogeological diversity pr...

Water is an important factor in human health and an essential ingredient of living organisms. The increase in population and living standards has led to increased water consumption, consequently causing an increase in wastewater, as well as greater q...

The landscape dynamics of a wetland are critical for understanding lake ecosystem health and sustainability. This paper characterizes the spatiotemporal dynamics of the different wetland plant communities in the Poyang Lake during 2017–2018 to...
