Potential impact of climate change on improved and unimproved water supplies in Africa [PDF]

, 2010
With significant climate change predicted in Africa over the next century, this chapter explores a key question: how will rural water supplies in Africa be affected? Approximately 550 million people in Africa live in rural communities and are reliant on

Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Enabling a Circular Water Transition: Identifying Governance Pathways for Wastewater Reuse

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over 80% of the world's wastewater is discharged untreated, making reuse a widely underutilised strategy for addressing water scarcity. Due to the complexity of implementing water reuse systems, supportive governance conditions are required to steer this process and overcome barriers.

Policy Integration for Enabling Environments: Decentralised Water Technologies for Rural Water Reuse

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water reuse holds significant promise for addressing global water challenges, yet wide scale implementation remains limited. Decentralised water technologies for reuse have been highlighted as a potential aide in the reduction of water challenges, specifically for environments that have typically been considered ‘water rich’, and in rural ...

Risk assessment using IEUBK model for the Naica mine tailings

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Mexico has a long history of mineral extraction, during which limited environmental regulations allowed the accumulation of toxic waste near communities, primarily in rural or undeveloped areas. Some of these toxic substances, such as lead, pose significant risks to vulnerable populations, particularly children aged 0 to 7 years.

Research on Deformation Prediction of Small Interval Tunnel Based on Machine Learning and Numerical Simulation

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study leverages machine learning algorithms—specifically artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic programming (GP)—to forecast and analyze variations in vault settlement measurements during excavation of small interval tunnel. A settlement prediction model was developed and validated through comparative analysis with regression to evaluate the

Renewable Energy Use, Agricultural Productivity, and Economic Expansion Impact on Environmental Sustainability in India

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research aims to explore the effects of agricultural productivity and the use of renewable energy sources on India's CO2 emissions while taking economic expansion into concern based on data during 1985–2022. This study applies the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique, dynamic‐ordinary least square (DOLS), fully‐modified ...
