Water quality monitoring and hydraulic evaluation of a household roof runoff harvesting system in France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The quality of harvested rainwater used for toilet flushing in a private house in the south-west of France was assessed over a one-year period. Twenty-one physicochemical parameters were screened using standard analytical techniques.

Multifunctional Organic and Inorganic Composite Coating for Outdoor Droplet Energy Collection and Water Quality Monitoring

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The difluoropyridine‐based benzoxazine (BA‐fa) was synthesized through a Mannich reaction, and a MoO3‐doped PBA‐fa complex layered DEG was fabricated using an ultrasonic spray coating method, which can not only generate electricity in rainy days but also effectively prevent fires on building roofs, self‐cleaning the surface of buildings on rainy days ...

No Charging but Protection: Lifetime Prolongation of Spontaneously‐polarized Electrets for Energy Harvesting Applications

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A bilayer protection approach is proposed for slowing down the surface potential decay of thin films of spontaneously‐polarized electret materials. The electret and the protective films are characterized, and the protection effectiveness is investigated under the effects of light illumination, water contact and mechanical impact.

Pilot Rainwater Harvesting Study Ireland

open access: yes, 2009
There are no National Water Quality Standards for Rainwater Harvesting supply in Ireland. The Development Technology Centre (DTC) at the Dublin Institute of Technology was commissioned by the National Rural Water Monitoring Committee in 2005 to assess the feasibility of using rainwater harvesting to supplement treated mains water for non-potable uses ...

A Highly Stable Zinc‐Mimosinate Metal–Organic Framework for Controlled Agrochemical Delivery

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the design of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as agrochemicals constructed from active building blocks. The highly robust GR‐MOF‐25 is assembled from the natural herbicide L‐mimosine and Zn2+ ions, combining herbicidal, micronutrient, and antibacterial properties.

A drop of rainwater against a drop of groundwater: does rainwater harvesting really allow us to spare Groundwater? [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper is concerned with groundwater management issues in the presence of rainwater harvesting (RWH). Namely, we propose a two-state model in order to take into account the standard dynamics of the aquifer and the dynamics of the storage capacity ...

Toxic Metals in Dried Marine Fish and Implications for Human Health in Bangladesh and Exporting Countries

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This study assessed toxic metals in five dried marine fish species from Bangladesh. Although most metals were within safe limits, chromium (Cr) consistently exceeded FAO/WHO standards, especially at Kuakata Beach. The findings highlight localized contamination hotspots and species‐specific bioaccumulation, while risk assessment supports the safety and ...
