By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity 6.4.1:Change in water-use efficiency over time 6.4.2:Level of water...
Under the premise that the water scarcity issue is inherently multidimensional, a composite Water Poverty Index has been developed, to complement the traditional physical water indicators. In this paper we propose some technical refinements based on principal component analysis, in order to improve the...
Global agricultural trade creates multiple telecoupled flows of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). The flows of physical and virtual nutrients along with trade have discrepant effects on natural resources in different countries. However, existing literatur
Wastewater treatment occupies a critical intersection of environmental stewardship and public health, addressing the urgent challenge of water scarcity and furthering sustainability in a rapidly changing global landscape. The effective removal of contaminants from wastewater not only allows for its reuse in ...
Understanding multiple stressors in a Mediterranean basin: Combined effects of land use, water scarcity and nutrient enrichment - ScienceDirect River basins are extremely complex hierarchical and directional systems that are affected by a multitude of interacting stressors. This complexity hampers ... PS...
Important lakes in Africa are Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Nyasa. Climate of Africa is warm, with hot summers and mild winters. The amount of rainfall varies greatly. Deserts receive too little water for farming, while some other areas get excessive rainwater. Although Africa ...

This review has demonstrated that significant evidence gaps remain regarding helminths and stunting in children. In summary, we do not yet know whether there is truly no association between helminth infection and physical stunting in children, or whether this is simply due to a scarcity of currentl...
Thus, our family has some food and water to last a week or two, in the event of a major earthquake or other disaster. And that is something that the government planners do encourage people around here to do--though relatively few do so.Christians should take some steps....
1c)21,22. Some surplus phosphorus can be stored in soils as legacy P and can be used for future crop uptake. However, a fraction of surplus nutrients are lost to the environment and likely affects air and water quality. Lassaletta et al.20 and Lun et al.23 estimated the N and P ...
