Fresh water scarcity has become a global problem which needs a serious attempt to find proper solutions for decreasing the pressure on the limited water resources. The exact estimation of crop virtual water would help with choosing crops with high crop and water productivity which lead to both food and water security. Thus, in this research, maize virtual water was estimated using HYDRUS2D base...

this paper presents a mapping procedure for risk mapping of water and wind erosion, whichhelps to identify protective measures needed in the planning and management of natural parks. the map of water erosion risk was developed by combining the original and revised universal soil loss equation methodologies (usle-rusle), and the map of wind erosion risk was developed using quirantes’ method. usi...

Carcinogenic and systemic health effects of arsenic exposure in drinking water are well documented. This study estimated the risk associated with chronic consumption of water with high concentrations of arsenic in children and adults living in six Andean locations, in Chile. Concentrations of arsenic in the drinking water were analyzed between 2014 and 2017 based on health authority reports and...

applying nanoporous materials is an appropriate method for improving chemical quality of the water due to high surface area, internal porous structure (porosity), high absorption capability of harmful gases and liquids, and capability of reactivating the surface. therefore, actions were carried out in order to investigate the effect of activated carbon and zeolite on reducing the total dissolve...
