Separation of wastewater into three different components, namely yellow water (that is, urine), brown water (that is, faeces and flush water) and grey water (that is, everything else), has the potential to reduce the costs of recovering water, energy and nutrients relative to the conventional...
In this Part 1 of a two-part series, we highlight key knowledge gaps and future research needs associated with the long-term closure of metal and coal mine pits. Although mining associated with other resources (e.g. oil sands, aggregate) may also generate pit lakes, metal and coal mine ...
To address the impending water crisis, the sustainable reuse of greywater emerges as a viable solution (Gholami et al., 2023). Greywater, excluding toilet waste, comprises 50–80% of total urban domestic wastewater and is less contaminated than typical domestic wastewater (Mohit and Remya, 2023...
Groundwater is among the most important reserves of freshwater on the planet, critical for drinking water resources as well as for healthy ecosystem functioning. Groundwater reserves are replenished through aquifer recharge, which is highly responsive to climate change and land development (Gurdak et ...
(2) identify the knowledge gaps and scientific needs, as well as policy recommendations, associated with these challenges; (3) construct a set of conceptual models that elucidate these challenges; and (4) develop a list of (tractable) next steps that can be taken to address these challenges....

The above factors and processes all contribute to the microbial water quality and abundance of various prokaryotic taxa at the consumer’s tap, but most studies only address limited parts of this complex interplay. Research on RBF, including previous metagenomic studies, usually focused on surface wa...
The problem then became: how to administer surface and ground water as one resource, despite the differences in behavior of groundwater systems? To address this, Conjunctive Management Rules (CMRs) were adopted by the IDWR to provide a process for determining injury when delivery calls were ...
