Abstract: Reliance on groundwater is increasing in Sub-Saharan Africa as development programmes work towards improving water access and strengthening resilience to climate change. In lower-income areas, groundwater supplies are typically installed without water ...
Safe Today, Unsafe Tomorrow: Tanzanian Households Experience Variability in Drinking Water Quality.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental science & technology [Environ Sci Technol] 2023 Nov 14; Vol. 57 (45), pp. 17481-17489. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Nov 03.
Abstract: Measuring Escherichia coli in a single-grab sample of stored drinking water is often used to characterize drinking water quality. However, if water quality exhibits variability temporally, then one-time measurement schemes may be insufficient to adequa...
Niche Differentiation of Biofilm Microorganisms in a Full-scale Municipal Drinking Water Distribution System in China and Their Implication for Biofilm Control.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Microbial ecology [Microb Ecol] 2023 Nov; Vol. 86 (4), pp. 2770-2780. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 05.
Abstract: Biofilms on the inner surface of a drinking water distribution system (DWDS) affect water quality and stability. Understanding the niche differentiation of biofilm microbial communities is necessary for the efficient control of DWDS biofilms. However, ...
Fate of organic micropollutants during brackish water desalination for drinking water production in decentralized capacitive electrodialysis.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Water research [Water Res] 2023 Oct 15; Vol. 245, pp. 120625. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Sep 12.
Abstract: Capacitive electrodialysis (CED) is an emerging and promising desalination technology for decentralized drinking water production. Brackish water, often used as a drinking water source, may contain organic micropollutants (OMPs), thus raising environme...
Prediction of groundwater quality index to assess suitability for drinking purpose using averaged neural network and geospatial analysis.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Ecotoxicology and environmental safety [Ecotoxicol Environ Saf] 2023 Oct 15; Vol. 265, pp. 115485. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Sep 19.
Abstract: Groundwater quality management is pivotal for ensuring public health and ecological resilience. However, the conventional water quality indices often face challenges related to parameter selection, geographic coverage, and scalability. The integration ...
Human health risk assessment based on direct and indirect exposure to endocrine disrupting herbicides in drinking, ground, and surface water in Croatia.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental science and pollution research international [Environ Sci Pollut Res Int] 2023 Oct; Vol. 30 (48), pp. 106330-106341. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Sep 20.
Abstract: The recognition of certain herbicides as endocrine disrupting compounds has raised concerns due to their ability to interfere with the normal functioning of the endocrine system, which regulates various physiological processes in organisms. The objecti...
Occurrence of human pathogenic viruses in drinking water and in its sources: A review.
