Integrated Surface Water–Groundwater Dynamics: Implications for Pollution Pathways, Prevention, and Environmental Control
Abstract: Water resources worldwide are increasingly threatened by pollution pressures amplified by climate change and intensified human activities. The vulnerability of surface water and groundwater systems to contamination is strongly governed by their dynamic hydrologic connectivity, which is often overlooked in pollution prevention and control frameworks. Rising global temperatures, altered precipitation regimes, land-use change, and intensified abstraction patterns modify recharge processes, flow paths, and contaminant transport mechanisms across environmental landscapes. This …

A Comprehensive Review on Ethnomedicinal Uses of Fishes in Asia
Abstract: In Asia, fish hold a multifaceted role as crucial dietary and economic resources, cultural symbols, and traditional ethnomedicine remedies. With over 4,000 known freshwater and marine fish species in Asian waters, these aquatic creatures feature prominently in the region's diverse ethnomedical traditions. The continent's numerous ethnic groups, each with unique indigenous medical practices, often rely on traditional ethnomedicine due to limited access to modern allopathic healthcare. The paper delves into …

Chemical and Electrocoagulation for Chromium (VI) Removal from Galvanic Effluents
Abstract: Industrial effluents usually contain 10 to 500 mg/l Cr(VI); that according to internationalenvironmental rules must be set at permissible levels before being discharged into the environment.The upper permitted levels of chromium are 0.5 mg/l for effluent discharge and 0.01 mg/l for drinkingwater respectively. Hexavalent chromium is a very toxic heavy metal moiety occurring in variousindustrial wastewaters, such as electroplating, anodizing, tanning and dyeing effluents.
