Up to 2023, the Lancang-Mekong water resources cooperation projects provided clean drinking water to approximately 10,000 local rural residents. Additionally, China and Laos have established ties in water resources management. The population in the Lancang-Mekong region has a lower rate of access to...
BEIJING, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- China aims to utilize more than 18 billion cubic meters of unconventional water this year, as part of its efforts to conserve water, according to the Ministry of Water Resources. China also strives to improve the recycled water utilization rate within water-scarce...
rehabilitation upstream of the NAB in an effective and sustainable manner. Given the rapid decline of water resources in the region due to human activity, it is imperative to take immediate and effective measures to mitigate the decrease in groundwater recharge and increase in surface runoff. ...
Restrictions on public water use trigger a significant increase in consumption of private water sources (groundwater) among the elite and upper-middle-income groups. Source data Full size image In particular, the water consumption trends in Fig. 3b show that throughout the drought period of ...
However, the rejection rate of Co@VMT MEM significantly decreased to only 14.96% (Supplementary Fig. 7). This ubiquitous trade-off effect manifested by the increase in water flux and decrease in selectivity for Co@VMT MEM conformed to the size sieving effect15,16. Fig. 2: Membrane ...
IWU is also predicted to increase by 8.5 percent to 17.1 percent by 2050 compared to the historical period (1981-2010), with higher emissions leading to more significant increases. This rise comes with an estimated additional cost of 1.65 to 3.91 billion U.S. dollars per year, highlighting th...
political developments in emerging and transition countries. This is why scientists are currently working with scenarios instead of more precise estimates. However, it is certain that the demand for water will increase steadily and that many countries are already consuming more than they have available...
Mulching improves moisture retention properties of soil through its effect on pore size distribution andsoil structure. Higher mulch rate increases soil-water retention more at lower suctions (Table 4) due to increase in macro-pores and inter-aggregate pores caused by enhancedsoil organic matterconten...
