The microbial faecal pollution of rivers has wide-ranging impacts on a variety of human activities that rely on appropriate river water quality. Thus, detailed knowledge of the extent and origin of microbial faecal pollution is crucial for watershed management activities to maintain safe water use. In this study, the microbial faecal pollution levels were monitored by standard faecal indicator ...

The most important necessity for life is water. Shortage of clean & fresh drinking water leads to suffering. This is mainly contributed by generation of sewage waste mixed with the water bodies, due to unplanned urbanization and has largely contributed to the causing severe water pollution. Pollutants discharged in waste waters can be toxic to aquatic life and cause natural waters to be unfit t...

Estrogenic pollution and its control in aquatic systems have drawn substantial attention around the world. The chemical and biological assessment approaches currently utilized in the laboratory or field cannot give an integrated assessment of the pollution when used separately. In this study, in situ chemical and biological methods were combined to detect pollution in a water recycling system. ...

In this article, the Environmental pollution in Iraq was studied by using the remote sensing techniques for the period (2010-2014). In general, the environmental pollution can be divided into three major parts: Air, Water, and soil pollutions. To overcome the problem, multi-satellite images with different resolution and bands at different dates were used to detect and quantize the source of pol...

INTRODUCTION Prior to 1996, sporadic cases of cyclosporiasis in Canada were most often associated with foreign travel and outbreaks throughout the world were associated with contaminated drinking water. In May 1996, the North York Public Health Department was notified of three laboratory-confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis among persons who attended a luncheon at a religious institution. A ceremo...

Lessening the leakage of surface water can reduce the waste of water resources and ground water pollution. To solve the problem that Mengxi River could not store water enduringly, geology investigation, theoretical analysis, experiment research, and numerical simulation analysis were carried out. Firstly, the seepage mathematical model was established based on unsaturated seepage theory; second...

The acceleration of urbanization and rapid development of economy led to making surface water pollution problem becoming more critical. Water treatment technologies can be generally classified as insitu or ex-situ. In this paper, a comprehensive review describing the latest surface water remediation developments and technologies that can be suitable for in-situ applications. The review covers t...

Few studies have examined the impacts of ground water quality on residential property values. Using a unique data set of well tests, we link residential real estate transactions to home-specific contamination and conduct a hedonic analysis of sales in Lake County, Florida, where pollution concerns relate primarily to agricultural run-off. We find that recent testing and contamination of ground ...

The safety of groundwater resources is a serious issue, particularly when these resources are the main source of water for drinking, irrigation and industrial use in coastal areas. In Italy, 85% of the water used by the public is of underground origin. The aim of this report is to analyze the main factors that make groundwater vulnerable. Soil characteristics and filtration capacity can promote...
