slowly back into the environment, such as into water courses. This is to counter the effects of conventional drainage systems that can result in flooding, pollution of the environment – with the resultant harm to wildlife – and contamination of groundwater sources used to provide drinking water...
Such facts also highlight the role of resiliency in the quality of drinking water systems [6]. The opposite concept of water insecurity is water security, which UNESCO defines as “the capacity of a population to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of acceptable quality water for ...
Hybrid urban water supply systems combine conventional, centralized water sources with distributed sources. Such system configurations are shown to exhibit lower severity, range of impact and duration of substandard performance compared with centralized systems in a number of disruptive incidents.

water droplets in different water harvesting systems. Taking inspiration from nature, we present a critical survey of the surface wettability, structures, and compositions used by various insects and plants to manage their water demands. We summarize the latest progress in developing desired surface ...
protect and preserve what many would call our most valuable natural resource: clean, drinkable water. A long-time supporter of World Water Day, LG continues to help consumers enjoy healthy, life-sustaining water with its innovative filtration systems and state-of-the-art hygiene-enhancing ...
The WSUD objectives focus on: the protection of natural water systems, water treatment, and improved water quality through bioretention systems swales, lakes, and wetlands, and the reduction of the total annual load of total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and total suspended solids by 70%, 77%, ...
At WSP, we collaborate with governments, public and private companies to effectively manage, operate, and preserve the integrity of water supply and distribution systems. We understand the importance of ecology and the role of nature-based solutions in addressing these challenges. We believe in ...
This Transformation exhibits the highest potential for trade-offs across interventions. Increases in agricultural production may exacerbate biodiversity loss and water scarcity. Rising incomes around the world will add to the pressure on food systems, unless diets become healthier and more environmentally ...
biofilm appear to be significant factors in accumulating nutrient ions from the surrounding water into the biofilm70. This phenomenon has been confirmed by lake microbial biofilm systems where the concentrations of NH4+and NO3−inside the biofilm were much higher than those in the surrounding water...
