This paper presents a practical and auditable methodology for prioritizing drinking water hazards based on fuzzy preference relations (FPR). The method is based on additive pairwise comparisons of tap water quality parameters, which are aggregated (m...
Risk-based management of water quality in drinking water supply systems requires decision-support tools that extend beyond parameter-level hazard assessment and enable prioritization at the level of physical system objects. In this context, hazard as...
The effective management of drinking water sources is essential not only for maintaining their water quality but also for the efficient operation of drinking water treatment plants. A decline in water quality in water reservoirs can result in increas...

Groundwater is a critical resource in India for the supply of drinking water and for irrigation. Its usage is limited not only by its quantity but also by its quality. Among the most important contaminants of groundwater in India is arsenic, which na...
Groundwater is an important source of freshwater. At the same time, anthropogenic activities, in particular, industrialization, urbanization, population growth, and excessive application of fertilizers, are some of the major reasons for groundwater q...
Freshwater quality criteria (FWQC) are essential scientific thresholds established to protect human health and aquatic ecosystems, serving as the foundation for water quality standards, environmental risk management, and pollution control. The latest...
Groundwater quality in arid and semi-arid regions is increasingly affected by salinization, evaporation, abstraction, and agricultural return flow. This study evaluates the hydrochemical evolution, isotopic characteristics, 222Rn activity, and water-...
Results change depending on the water quality evaluation methods used, and within good-quality water, many results still have parameters with concentrations exceeding the World Health Organization (WHO) desirable limits or national threshold values (...
Although the average municipal water coverage in Taiwan is quite high, at 93.91%, only around half of the residents in the Pingtung Plain use tap water originating from the Taiwan Water Corporation to meet their needs. This means the exploitation of...
Elucidating the hydrogeochemical processes and quality assessment of groundwater holds significant importance for its sustainable development. In this paper, 53 groundwater samples were collected from a typical agricultural area in the northeastern C...
