Machine-Learning-Assisted Development of Polymer-Biochar Composite Adsorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Gomti River Water
Abstract: Rapid urbanization, industrial discharge, and agricultural runoff pose a significant threat to freshwater sustainability and public health. Within these ecosystems, polymer pollutants—such as microplastics, nanoplastics, synthetic fibres, and additive residues—have emerged as persistent vectors capable of adsorbing and transporting toxic heavy metals. Because these polymeric contaminants dynamically interact with conventional aquatic parameters to alter pollutant mobility and ecological risk profiles, there is an urgent need to transition from passive environmental …

Assessment of Water Quality along River Ethiope, Delta State
Abstract: The environment, economic growth, and human health all depend on the quantity and quality of water supplies. Given this, the significance of water quality monitoring cannot be overstated.This study was aimed at assessing the water quality of River Ethiope. To achieve this, surface water samples were collected from Ethiope River along its banks at the following towns; Umuaja (SWI), Ebedie (SW2), Abraka (SW3), Sapele (SW4) and Ughara (SW5) axis during …

Study of Groundwater Quality in Shallow Tubewells of Bhubaneswar City Using WQI Method
Abstract: Shallow groundwater is extremely vulnerable owing to overexploitation, anthropogenic activities, and environmental effects. Declining quality of groundwater poses an enormous risk for human health and the entire ecosystem. Nearly 50 per cent urban water supply is contributed by groundwater in Indian cities. Since Bhubaneswar shares a similar scenario where 34 out of 67 wards are partially covered with municipal water supply and the residents of these areas are largely dependent …

Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Jaipur District, Rajasthan, India, Using Water Quality Index
Abstract: There are both open and closed bore wells. This research focuses on evaluating the groundwater quality in Jaipur by utilizing the Water Quality Index. For this comprehensive study, 22 water samples were meticulously collected from open and closed bore wells distributed across 22 different blocks within the district. The analysis involved measuring key physicochemical parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, total dissolved solids, and salinity. These parameters were chosen due …

Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Rumuodara, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: The assessment of groundwater quality from selected borehole in Rumuodara, Rivers State, Nigeria was evaluated. The results of the physicochemical parameters revealed that pH ranged from 6.57-6.60, temperature: 26.10-28.54oC, turbidity: 1.57-2.96NTU, conductivity: 41.24-68.44 μS/cm, salinity: 26.10-50.37mg/l, total dissolved solid: 18.9-63.14mg/l, total hardness: 38.21-48.30mg/l, alkalinity: 55.30-70.17mg/l, chloride: 28.40-75.14mg/l, sulphate: 21.50-30.60mg/l, nitrate: 1.50-3.04mg/l, phosphate: 59.24-65.40mg/l, calcium: 37.81-45.27mg/l, Iron: 0.133-0.190mg/l, sodium: 16.70- 21.13mg/l, copper: 0.22–0.50mg/l, total suspended solid: 2.94-3.60mg/l, Lead: < 0.01mg/l-2.27mg/l, zinc: …
