Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Enhancing Recharge Beneath Low‐Permeability Landscapes with Small‐Diameter Drywells: Token Creek, WI

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Shallow, small‐diameter drywells provide enhanced recharge in rural landscapes, bypassing the low infiltration rates caused by low permeability surficial soils and high ET rates. One year of monitoring data show several recharge events and overall high water quality.

Temperature and precipitation differently influence entomological indices based on larval or adult sampling

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval indices, especially house infestation index (HI) and breteau index (BI), were significantly associated with temperature and precipitation, indicating that warmer and wetter conditions increase Aedes aegypti breeding‐site positivity. Adult indices, trap positivity index (TPI) and adult density index (ADI) showed no significant association with ...

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Public Understanding of Water‐Sensitive Urban Design and Implications for Land Use Planning: Insights From Aotearoa New Zealand

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Conventional urban drainage systems are frequently found to contribute to degradation of urban watercourses. The implementation of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and associated nature‐based infrastructure is considered one potential solution to mitigate stormwater‐induced degradation.
