Variations of Macroplastics in Water and Sediments at Bundu Waterfront, Upper Bonny Estuary, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: Macroplastic pollution has become an increasingly severe environmental challenge, particularly in urban waterfronts where waste management is inadequate. Bundu Waterfront of the Upper Bonny Estuary in Port Harcourt, Rivers State is a sink for macroplatics from careless disposal of solid wastes and inadequate management thus affecting the biological integrity and aquatic life of this estuary. The resultant impact of the macroplastics on abiotic factors through the evaluation of different floating …

A Novel Method for the Preparation of Eco-enzymes
Abstract: A novel method for the production of an eco-enzyme has been developed. The eco-enzyme prepared is a complex solution produced by fermentation of fresh kitchen waste (fruit and vegetable dregs), sugar (brown sugar, jaggery or molasses sugar) and water. It is dark brown and has a strong sweet sour fermented scent. Eco enzyme is a multipurpose liquid and its applications cover household, agriculture, animal husbandry etc.The enzyme prepared can be …

Impact of water-cement ratio and cement content on pore area percentage and chloride diffusion – A molecular dynamics study
Abstract: The exposure of a reinforced structure to water-based settings leads to the occurrence of chloride-induced corrosion, resulting in a reduction in both the durability and performance of the structure. The entry of chloride ions into concrete and the pore area percentage is influenced by several elements, including the degree of humidity, the presence of fractures, environmental conditions, water-to-cement ratio (w/c ratio), and cement content. This research focuses on the utilization …

PHYSIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF WASTE WATER COLLECTED FROM THREE MAJOR RIVERS IN MONSOON SEASON FROM PALAKKAD
Abstract: Various waste management techniques were implemented in India have failed due to various reasons, the major reasons are industrial growth and urbanization. The pollution impacts on aquatic communities can be observed directly to the industrialized centres, which discharges series of chemical pollutants to effluent systems.. These wastes mainly encompasses a broad range of contaminants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and heavy metals, various acids, alkalis, dyes and other chemicals …

Experimental Analysis of Physical Parameters in Treated Water
Abstract: During the first phase, the surface water treatment plant at Saidabad treats 225 million liters of water per day. In the treated water, turbidity, color, total coliform, fecal coliform, and hardness are reduced; on the other hand, conductivity and total dissolved solids increase. In the wet season, turbidity is high due to relatively coarse particle dispersions in river water. All other parameters, such as color, total and fecal coliform, hardness, …

Management of Domestic Water Closed Loop System
Abstract: The paper describes a new technological process to reuse, thermally and hydraulically, the water inhome installations. The aim of the process is to reduce water wasting and take advantage of residualthermal energy to minimize energy expenditure. The system is especially developed for homeinstallations although it is also suitable for larger facilities. Filtering processes based on porous mediaensure the physical and chemical water quality while chlorination or disinfection by ultravioletradiation guarantees …

Water Sanitation and Waterborne Disease Incidence among Households: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract: The study was conducted to assess water sanitation practices and the incidence of waterborne diseases among households in a selected ward of Koodalloor Panchayath, Kottayam, Kerala. The objectives were to assess the sources of household water, evaluate water sanitation and safety practices, and identify the incidence of waterborne diseases among family members during the previous year. A community-based descriptive study design was adopted. A total of 138 households were selected …
