The immature stages of freshwater insects can sometimes be found in densities of up to 25,000 m -2 in saltwaterinundated regions of estuaries, however little is known of their condition there. The gut fullness and contents of larvae of two species of hydropsychid caddisfly (Hydropsyche siltalai and H. instabilis) from freshwater and saltwater-inundated sites on the Aber Estuary, Wales were comp...

Many physiological adjustments occur in response to salt intake in several marine taxa, which manifest at different scales from changes in the concentration of individual molecules to physical traits of whole organisms. Little is known about the influence of salinity on the distribution, physiological performance, and ecology of passerines; specifically, the impact of drinking water salinity on...

The conversion of saltwater and brackish water into fresh through desalination has gained significant importance as a solution to the worldwide scarcity resources. Reverse Osmosis (RO) method been effectively utilized generate from sources water. This research aims examine variables that affect performance reverse osmosis process. effectiveness membrane was assessed experiments explored impact ...

Surface effects of sea-level rise (SLR) in permafrost regions are obvious where increasingly iceless seas erode and inundate coastlines. SLR also drives saltwater intrusion, but subsurface impacts on permafrost-bound coastlines unseen unclear due to limited field data the absence models that include salinity-dependent groundwater flow with solute exclusion freeze-thaw dynamics. Here, we develop...

The purpose of this study is to exploit the euryhaline nature of commercially attractive species for their cultivation in freshwater aquaponic systems. This approach may increase the profitability of aquaponic production in coastal countries where the consumption of marine fish is traditional and of commercial relevance. For this purpose, juvenile European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were r...

Insufficiency of potable water is acute in southwest (SW) coastal areas Bangladesh. The local population ignores the depth to saltwater/freshwater interface causing many unsuccessful waters wells drilling. In this context, a combined use borehole logs, geophysical well vertical electrical soundings (VES), resistivity tomography (ERT) and conductivity (EC) sampled was performed identify depths p...
