Article Abstract
Ecological water replenishment is an important measure for conserving water sources and improving the water environment. To explore the evolution and causes of groundwater chemistry after ecological water replenishment in the Jialu River, this study utilized groundwater monitoring data from 2015 to 2019 following ecological water replenishment. Various methods, including Piper's trilinear diagram, Gibbs diagram, principal component analysis, and ion ratio analysis, were employed for research purposes. The results indicate that (1) since the implementation of ecological water replenishment in the Jialu River, there has been a general downwards trend in total dissolved solids (TDS) in groundwater. The dominant cation in groundwater is Ca, whereas HCO is the dominant anion. The concentration of cations in groundwater has generally decreased, with noticeable reductions in SO and Cl concentrations in the upper reaches of the recharge river contributing to improved groundwater quality. (2) A comparison with 2015 reveals a gradual transition at sampling points from chemical types such as HCO-Ca·Mg and HCO·Cl-Ca·Mg to an ecological water replenishment chemical type (HCO-Ca).

Solar water evaporation (SWE) has emerged as an appealing method for water and salt recovery from hypersaline wastewater. However, different ions usually transfer and accumulate uncontrollably during ion-water separation, making salt fractionalization impractical for conventional SWE, and the resulting mixed salts are hard to use and still require significant costs for disposal. To achieve salt fractionalization and reutilization, achieving ion-water and ion-ion separation simultaneously are crucial in advancing SWE toward sustainability.

Emerging mercury-free ultraviolet (UV) sources, such as krypton chloride excimer (KrCl*) lamps and UV light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs), emit diverse wavelengths with distinct inactivation mechanisms. The combined application has the potential to improve disinfection effectiveness through synergism. In this study, a mini-fluidic photoreaction system equipped with a KrCl* lamp (222 nm) and a strip of UV-LEDs (275 nm) was developed, which could individually/simultaneously deliver accurate UV radiation(s) at 222 nm (0.

When ingested as part of a blood meal, the antiparasitic drug ivermectin kills mosquitoes, making it a candidate for mass drug administration (MDA) in humans and livestock to reduce malaria transmission. When administered to livestock, most ivermectin is excreted unmetabolized in the dung within 5 days post administration. Presence of ivermectin, has been shown to adversely affect dung colonizers and dung degradation in temperate settings; however, those findings may not apply to, tropical environment, where ivermectin MDA against malaria would occur.

Reliable estimates of low flow and flood discharge at ungaged locations are required for evaluating stream flow alteration, designing culverts and stream crossings, and interpreting regional surveys of habitat and biotic condition. Very few stream gaging stations are located on small, remote streams, which typically have complex channel morphology. Adequate gaging is also lacking on larger streams that are remote, smaller than those typically gaged, or have channel morphology not conducive to installation of gages.

This study develops a graphene oxide-nano zerovalent iron (GO-nZVI) composite for the efficient removal of tetracycline and ciprofloxacin from water. The composite was synthesized using sugarcane bagasse as the matrix for graphene oxide (GO) and Sal leaf extract to reduce iron into nano zerovalent iron (nZVI). Microscopic analysis confirmed multiple GO layers with nZVI particles on their surface, while XRD and Raman spectroscopy verified the crystalline nature of the composite.
