Objective: To study the feasibility and effect of the HACCP application in rural water supply systems. The Tucheng water supply system (TWSS) in Hebei Province was selected as study field.
Methods: The hazard analysis and evaluation were developed according to WHO/FAO "HACCP System and Guidelines for its Application" and WHO "Guidelines for drinking water quality".
Results: The CCP was found and the control measures were established based on hazard analysis. The present study showed that the CCP could be found in all steps of the water supply system. After the HACCP application in TWSS, no distinct improvement of water quality was observed, but the occupational technical knowledge score of the staff was improved from 75.2 to 86.6.
Conclusion: The results indicated that as a risk management tool, application of HACCP in rural water supply system is feasible.

In order to meet global food requirement, innovation in agricultural techniques and pesticide delivery system will be required for sustainable food supply with minimal harmful impact on environment. This article discusses the synthesis of hydrogels for use in controlled release formulations (CRFs) to increase agricultural output while reducing ecotoxicity and health risks. These hydrogels were designed by graft-copolymerization reaction of polyacrylamide and polyvinyl sulfonic acid onto agar-alginate marine polysaccharides.

Many refugee camps exist for decades but associated infrastructure needs are only planned for the very short term, including provision of power. This study advocates a shift in approach to sustainable electrification of essential services in refugee camps for lighting, refrigeration, health, water, education, alongside camp operations. Qualitative and quantitative surveys were conducted in refugee camps in Uganda and Bangladesh which assessed the electrical supply needs across such categories.
