The water footprint of hydrogen production
Hydrogen (H2) is the most promising energy carrier for reducing the carbon emissions of the energy sector, but the impact of its production on water resources remains unclear. Here, we quantify the water footprint (WF) of different H2 production pathways accounting for the WF of the primary energy used in the production process, as well as feedstock ...

Water Quality and Poultry Production
Mineral and microbial content of water affects the performance of poultry. Because poultry production can adversely affect water quality, the Environmental Protection Agency monitors and regulates its impact. Management of nonpoint source water contamination is especially important. If properly managed, litter, a valuable secondary commodity associated

Catalysts using suitably supported platinum show promise for the commercial production of heavy water. Carbons are potential primary supports for the platinum and metal-support interactions have been observed in this system. These interactions lower the chemical activation energy and increase the rate of reaction under conditions where it seems likely ...

Water productivity and income. [PDF]
Food security and reducing poverty for the ever-growing population in India is a challenging task. India’s agricultural land is 142 million ha with 135% cropping intensity (NAAS, 2009) and 60% is rainfed, which is characterized by water scarcity, land degradation, low use of inputs and low productivity.

Combining water and fertilizer management for high productivity, low water degradation
With accurate measurements of nitrate-nitrogen leached from agricultural systems and definitions of factors that affect the amount of leaching, management strategies can be devised that increase productivity while degrading water minimally.

Abstract Water availability is a major factor influencing the distribution and productivity of the earth's vegetation, but details of the mechanisms by which its effects are felt are not well understood. This is due in large part to the interactions between water and vegetation, such as through interception and change in leaf-area, which affect rates
