Iron-rich aquifers are commonly thought to be ‘arsenic-safe’ because of the strong sorption of arsenite and arsenate to iron (hydr)oxides. However, sulfate reduction can accelerate arsenic mobilization and increase arsenic mobility by formation of poorly sorbing thioarsenic species
Strategies for mitigating climate change driven floods in Shanghai apply regret theory to guide the best choice from alternate engineered flood control scenarios.
Water infrastructure improvements are needed in rural America. A series of county-level spatial econometric models showed positive economic development associated with water infrastructure spending in rural America. However, these benefits are unequally distributed among ethnoracial populations in interaction models.
Curtailing water use during drought is costly, but those costs are not evenly distributed. Socio–hydrological modelling shows how water burdens fall more heavily on poor households in response to water conservation policies.
Development of the world’s hydropower is controversial because of its many documented environmental and societal implications. A global assessment of the unused profitable hydropower potential is performed with strict criteria to limit the environmental and social impact.
The design of an electrochemical system without electrolytes allows hydrogenation of oxidized contaminants in water without the introduction of additional chemicals.
