Synthesis of Photocatalytic Biomimetic Nanocomposite for Enhanced Water Purification
Abstract: Abstract Clean and drinkable water is a critical necessity for all human and economic developments; unfortunately, millions of people do not have access to potable water, resulting in the death of over two million children every year. Over the past decade, emphasis has been placed on the synthesis and design of photocatalytic nanocomposites to enhance the chemical degradation of organic pollutants as a cost effective vehicle for clean water production. …

Treatment of Car Washing Unit Wastewater by Electrocoagulation
Abstract: Abstract Enormous amount of water is being used to wash a car. With the increase in number of cars day-by-day, the quantity of water being used to wash cars is also increasing. Generally, effluent from car washing units is discharged into public sewers without treatment. In this study, the wastewater from a car washing unit was collected in a bulk quantity and characterized. It was treated with the electrocoagulation process …

Analysis on Water Quality of Cauvery and Bhavani River for its Seasonal Variation at Bhavani
Abstract: Abstract Cauvery river is one of the significant sources of water supply for domestic, agricultural and industrial usage in Tamil Nadu. In spite of large scale utilization of the river water, poor water management has resulted in large scale degradation of the quality of water. Hence, a detailed study has been attempted in the Cauvery river, and one of its major tributary Bhavani river between the latitude 11°26′4.51″N to 11°28′39.09″N …

Boron in Groundwater of National Capital Region Delhi
Abstract: Abstract The National Capital Region (NCR) Delhi has grown as a populous urban conglomerate in last few years. The development of this region could be linked to rapid industrialization and an accelerated population growth. However, this has also led to large-scale pollution of natural freshwater resources including groundwater in the region. The water quality changes are also visible in floodplains of Yamuna River, particularly in growing suburban areas around Delhi. …

Community Participation in the Mitigation of Geogenic Fluoride Contamination in Drinking Water: A West Bengal Model
Abstract: Abstract The water management issue is by no means an issue only for experts. The close linkages between community initiatives in mitigation approach and grass-root level technology transfer can bring a sea-change in the drinking water management in rural communities. The conventional set up of sectoral water management institutions is hardly capable of coping with the drinking water management in the rural areas. A wiser drinking water management calls for …
