Urban rainwater is an increasingly important alternative water resource, but its suitability for harvesting and reuse depends on a water quality that varies strongly with local emissions and season—a variability not previously characterised for...
Air pollutants have been investigated in many studies, but the variations of atmospheric pollutants and their relationship with rainwater chemistry are not well studied. In the present study, the criteria atmospheric pollutants in nine monitoring sta...
Temporal rainwater chemistry was used to reveal air pollution in the Maolan National Karst Forest Park (MNKFP), which is representative of the typical karst forest region of southwest China (SW China). The rainwater ions’ sources, variations, t...

Atmospheric deposition through rainfall plays a significant role in transporting various anthropogenic contaminants to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, rainwater’s integrated ionic and molecular composition remains underexplored in...
This study investigated the site-specific ionic composition and wet deposition loads of rainwater collected from eight actively cultivated agricultural regions across South Korea, with the aim of quantifying spatial and seasonal variability and inter...
The rainwater chemistry within the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey (MAM) was studied during a one-year period (January 2019–January 2020) in seven sampling sites. The metal concentration of Zn, Fe, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Mn was analyzed in bulk samples...
This study evaluates the impact of phosphogypsum stacks on the chemical composition of rainwater in the Huelva metropolitan area, a metal-polluted area with high cancer and heart disease mortality rates. A total of 612 rainwater samples were collecte...
Rainwater harvesting is increasingly recognized as a sustainable supplement to conventional water supplies and a strategy to improve water resilience. However, harvested rainwater may contain organic and inorganic contaminants introduced by atmospher...
To achieve a holistic understanding of the intricate interactions among human activities, atmospheric chemistry, and acid rain in China, a rigorous analysis of rainwater chemistry was made using a dataset comprising 2656 data points from 24 sites. Th...
Within a context of scarce water resources for agriculture, rainwater harvesting constitutes a promising alternative that has been studied by different disciplines in recent years. This article analyses the dynamics of global research on rainwater ha...

Although new inputs of acidic anions are decreasing, soil acidification still deserves more academic attention because of the effects of historical stores of SO42− already absorbed into soils. Forest canopy has large, species-specific effects o...
Groundwater can flow into or out of surface water and thus can greatly affect the quantity and quality of surface water. In this study, we conducted a water quantity and quality analysis for 11 months in 2018 and 2019 to evaluate the temporal contrib...
The mine drainage of the Ibbenbüren anthracite coal mine is characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of dissolved iron and sulfate. The elevated position of the coal field with respect to the surrounding area makes the neighboring sediments...
Background/Objectives: The recovery of latent fingerprints from submerged evidence remains a critical challenge in forensic science, as ridge details deteriorate rapidly once under water. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three establis...
A multi-tracer approach has been implemented in the southwestern part of the Lake Chad Basin to depict the functioning of aquifers in terms of recharge, relationship with surface water bodies, flow paths and contamination. The results are of interest...

The greater Wellington region, New Zealand, is highly vulnerable to large earthquakes because it is cut by active faults. Bulk water supply pipelines cross the Wellington Fault at several different locations, and there is considerable concern about s...
This research gives an overview of the status of water resources in the western Aosta Valley (Italy). Surface water, groundwater and precipitation were sampled during five sampling campaigns, and chemical analyses were performed and interpreted. Stab...
In this study, water-rock interaction, salinity sources, evolution, and the mixing of groundwater were modelled. The objectives of this research are to understand the hydrogeochemical factors that govern groundwater composition in a shallow aquifer s...
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...
Quaternary sea level fluctuations have led to the development of beach ridges on many South Atlantic coasts. The objective of this paper was to asses from lithological, hydrochemical, isotopic, and geophysical studies the salinization processes affec...
Silane-based materials are used for the protection of heritage and modern buildings. A versatile method is developed to tune the wetting properties of a typical silane-based material from hydrophobicity to superamphiphobicity, thus enhancing the prot...
Along the West-African coast, groundwater is under several threats coming from both human activities and climate change. However, hydrogeological studies have so far been conducted in a piecemeal way, city by city. In this paper, a regional study was...
The chemistry of atmospheric precipitation serves as an important proxy for discriminating the source(s) of air contaminants in urban environments as well as to discuss the dynamic of atmospheric chemistry exchanges. This approach can be undertaken a...
Geothermal springs and boreholes within the Soutpansberg Group were sampled and analysed for their major ion chemistry and stable isotope compositions in order to ascertain the possible sources and geochemical processes of the waters. The temperature...
The Perrot Spring (1300 m a.s.l.), located to the right of the Chalamy valley in the Monte Avic Natural Park (Valle d’Aosta, Italy), is an important source of drinking water for the municipality of Champdepraz. This spring is located on a large...
