Determining the influence of pervious/impervious underlying surface pattern (composition, position, proportion, etc.) on the generation capacity of surface runoff and pollution in the urban parcel-based catchment could aid in alleviating the urban waterlogging and control non-point source pollution significantly. Landscape metrics were used to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of pervious/impervious underlying surface pattern and total runoff () and the cumulative load of dissolved pollutants () and particulate pollutants (). The results showed that: ① For the metrics of fragmentation, the patch density (PD) was positively correlated with and . and largest patch index (LPI) was negatively correlated with them. Especially, the PD exhibited a significantly positive correlation with (=0.59, <0.05, calculated in COD). However, the LPI exhibited a significantly negative correlation with (=-0.60, <0.05, calculated in COD). ② For the metrics of complexity, landscape shape index (LSI) was positively correlated with and , and mean shape index (MSI) was negatively correlated with them. Especially, the LSI exhibited a significantly positive correlation with (=0.61, <0.05, calculated in TP) significantly. However, the MSI exhibited a significantly negative correlation with (=-0.62, <0.01, calculated in TP) significantly. ③ For the metrics of vergence, the split index (SPLIT) was positively correlated with and , and the cohesion index (COHESION) was negatively correlated with them. The COHESION exhibited a significantly negative correlation with (=-0.59, <0.05, calculated in COD), whereas the SPLIT exhibited a significantly positive correlation with (=0.6, <0.05, calculated in COD). ④ In the planning on the distribution and pattern of pervious surface under small-scale catchment, it is suggested that the scattered small-regular patches should be transformed to large-irregular patches or patch group. The relationship of the fragmentation, complexity, and vergence of pervious/impervious surface, with the runoff generation, and pollution output in parcel-based catchment was analyzed, which provided a new method for rainfall runoff and pollution control by considering rational allocation of LID facilities in terms of its pattern characteristics (area, distance, shape, etc.).

As a result of intensive agriculture, large quantities of liquid wastewaters are produced. Dairy soiled water (DSW) is produced in large volumes during the milking process of cattle. It comprises essential plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Sludge landfilling is widely used in China, accounting for approximately 65% of total sludge disposal, due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, with increasing land scarcity and stricter environmental regulations, the Chinese government has emphasized reducing sludge landfilling. Despite these efforts, sludge historically disposed of in landfills continues to pose risks, including heavy metal leaching and contamination of groundwater and soil.

Microplastics (MPs) have become pervasive pollutants in terrestrial ecosystems, raising significant ecological risks and human health concerns. Despite growing attention, a comprehensive understanding of their quantification, sources, emissions, transport, degradation, and accumulation in soils remains incomplete. This review synthesizes the current knowledge on the anthropogenic activities contributing to soil MP contamination, both intentional and unintentional behaviors, spanning sectors including agriculture, domestic activities, transportation, construction, and industry.

A comprehensive scientific analysis of temporal and spatial fluctuations of pollutants during the migration of groundwater is essential for precisely predicting their dispersion patterns and promoting rational regional development planning. In this research paper, a field radial dispersion test was conducted in decentralized drinking water sources downstream of the Fu Tuan River basin in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, China (FRSC). Chloride ion (Cl) solution was utilized as a tracer for the experiment.

This study evaluates the environmental and human health impact of sewage sludge generated in the Indo-Gangetic region (Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh) used as organic fertilizer and landfill disposal. The research conducts a comprehensive risk assessment, including physicochemical and heavy metals analysis, on triplicate sludge samples obtained from 30 sewage treatment plants. The study provides both qualitative and quantitative insights into potential hazards associated with sewage sludge.
