Recent learnings in non-sewered sanitation remain fragmented; this Review integrates findings into one consistent terminology to identify synergies in scientific findings and explore future potential application of new technologies.
This Review highlights the strengths and limitations of deep learning approaches relative to traditional approaches, emphasizing their potential as a currently underutilized yet promising avenue for advancing our understanding of water-quality sciences.
Solar desalination has the potential to contribute to the solutions regarding global water scarcity. This Review discusses the road and challenges towards the industrialization of solar desalination plants.
Using three prototypical scenarios of water contamination from legacy pollutants at contaminated sites, agricultural use of pesticides and abatement of pharmaceuticals and disinfection by-products in water treatment systems, this Review illustrates success stories of compound-specific isotope analyses and ongoing developments for future applications.
