Corbera Rubio, F. (author), Stouten, G.R. (author), Bruins, Jantinus (author), Dost, Simon F. (author), Merkel, Alexander Y. (author), Müller, S. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), van Halem, D. (author), Laureni, M. (author)Nitrate leaching from agricultural soils is increasingly found in groundwater, a primary source of drinking water worldwide. This nitrate influx can potentially stimulate the biological oxidation of iron in anoxic groundwater reservoirs. Nitrate-dependent iron-oxidizing (NDFO) bacteria have been extensively studied in laboratory settings, yet...journal article 2024

Araya-Obando, José Andrés (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), Kelly-Coto, Daniel E. (author), Quesada-González, Andrea (author), Caballero-Chavarría, Andrey (author), Romero-Esquivel, Luis G. (author)Biofilters are effectively used for drinking water treatment. However, the long ripening time of virgin media for manganese (Mn) removal is a major concern. In this study, the influence of the flow regime on the ripening time of virgin pumice medium was investigated. For this purpose, pilot-scale experiments were performed to compare the...journal article 2023

Potter, Estela Fernandes (author), Monney, Isaac (author), Rutten, M.M. (author)Groundwater use has significantly increased in the rapidly urbanising city of Kumasi, Ghana. But there is a lack of understanding of whether the groundwater system can sustain the growing demand in the future amidst climate change and rapid urbanisation. Using remote sensing datasets and a water balance approach, this study estimated the...journal article 2023

Li, Bin (author), Zheng, Yi (author), Di Baldassarre, Giuliano (author), Xu, Peng (author), Pande, S. (author), Sivapalan, Murugesu (author)Groundwater depletion has become increasingly challenging, and many cities worldwide have adopted drastic policies to relieve water stress due to socioeconomic growth. Located on the declining aquifer of the North China Plain, Beijing, for example, has developed plans to limit the size of the city’s population. However, the effect of...journal article 2023

Mohamed, Ahmed (author), Al Deep, Mohamed (author), Othman, Abdullah (author), Taha, Ayman I. (author), Alshehri, Fahad (author), Abdelrady, Ahmed (author)Saudi Arabia is seeking fresh groundwater resources to face the increase in anthropogenic activities. The groundwater storage variations and occurrence were investigated and the surface and subsurface structures influencing the groundwater resources in the research area were defined using a combined study of Gravity Recovery and Climate...journal article 2022

Brakenhoff, Davíd A. (author), Vonk, M.A. (author), Collenteur, Raoul A. (author), Van Baar, Marco (author), Bakker, M. (author)In 2018–2020, meteorological droughts over Northwestern Europe caused severe declines in groundwater heads with significant damage to groundwater-dependent ecosystems and agriculture. The response of the groundwater system to different hydrological stresses is valuable information for decision-makers. In this paper, a reproducible, data-driven...journal article 2022

Mohamed, Ahmed (author), Asmoay, Ahmed (author), Alshehri, Fahad (author), Abdelrady, Ahmed (author), Othman, Abdullah (author)Thirty groundwater samples were taken from Assiut’s northern outskirts. The physicochemical properties of these samples were investigated. For the evaluation of water–rock interaction, the saturation index (SI), chloro-alkaline indices (CAI1 and CAI2), Gibbs ratios for cations and anions (GC and GA), principal component analysis (PCA), and...journal article 2022

Mohamed, Ahmed (author), Abdelrahman, Kamal (author), Abdelrady, Ahmed (author)In the Middle East, water shortage is becoming more and more serious due to the development of agriculture and industry and the increase in population. Saudi Arabia is one of the most water-consuming countries in the Middle East, and urgent measures are needed. Therefore, we integrated data from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)...journal article 2022

Xu, Yanghui (author), Ou, Q. (author), Jiao, Meng (author), Liu, G. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Nanoplastics (NPs) are currently considered an environmental pollutant of concern, but the actual extent of NP pollution in environmental water bodies remains unclear and there is not enough quantitative data to conduct proper risk assessments. In this study, a pretreatment method combining ultrafiltration (UF, 100 kDa) with hydrogen peroxide...journal article 2021

Pan, Yutrao (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Broere, W. (author)Artificial barriers are widely used to prevent leakages. However, due to construction errors during the wall installation, passages with small dimensions may occasionally penetrate through the barrier, undermining its tightness. A three-dimensional discretized algorithm (TDA) is proposed for quantitatively estimating the transient-state...journal article 2021

Ertsen, M.W. (author), Ngugi, K. N. (author)This paper assesses the success of sand-storage dams in Kitui, Kenya—with “success” being considered to relate to the amount of water that dams can store, and the usability of the water in terms of access, quantity and quality. Building on a series of recent larger and smaller research projects, the paper sketches the complex interactions...journal article 2021

Amaranto, A. (author), Munoz-Arriola, F. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author), Corzo, G. (author)The aim of this paper is to improve semiseasonal forecast of groundwater availability in response to climate variables, surface water availability, groundwater level variations, and human water management using a two-step data-driven modeling approach. First, we implement an ensemble of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the 300 wells...journal article 2019

Gomes, S.L. (author), Hermans, L.M. (author), Islam, Kazi Faisal (author), Huda, Sheikh Nazmul (author), Hossain, ATM Zakir (author), Thissen, W.A.H. (author)Peri-urban areas in the global south are experiencing over-exploitation and contamination of water resources as a result of rapid urbanisation. These problems relate to the ineffectiveness of the underlying institutions in this dynamic, multi-actor context. Institutions need to be considered during problem solving; however, peri-urban...journal article 2018

Azizi, Ali (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Malekmohammadi, Bahram (author), Jafari, Hamid Reza (author)Although mismanagement of groundwater resources has resulted in their destruction over centuries, climate change is speeding up this process more than ever. On the one hand, urgent action by government bodies is needed to address the challenge. On the other hand, a vast body of literature proves that bottom-up collective action, although...journal article 2017

Sanchez Torres, L.D. (author)The use of upflow gravel filtration (UFG) is relevant for water supply systems in rural areas and small towns in Colombia, because water quality from surface sources is changing due to the deterioration of watersheds caused by deforestation, erosion, and the discharge of untreated wastewater. These changes are intensified by the effects of...doctoral thesis 2016

Nyenje, P. (author)This study investigates the generation, transport and fate of sanitation-related nutrients in groundwater and surface water in an urban slum area in sub-Saharan Africa. In excess, nutrients can cause eutrophication of downstream water bodies. The study argues that nitrogen-containing rains and domestic wastewater from slum areas were important...doctoral thesis 2014

Meulenbroek, B.J. (author), Farajzadeh, R. (author), Bruining, J. (author)Carbon dioxide injected in an aquifer rises quickly to the top of the reservoir and forms a gas cap from where it diffuses into the underlying water layer. Transfer of the CO2 to the aqueous phase below is enhanced due to the high density of the carbon dioxide containing aqueous phase. This paper investigates the behavior of the diffusive...journal article 2013

Alam, N. (author), Olsthoorn, T.N. (author)Farmers in the Indus basin, Pakistan have generally switched to groundwater for additional water supplies due to the irregular supply of irrigation water; currently over 50% of the agricultural land in the basin is at least partially irrigated by tube-wells. These wells pump fresh groundwater, which essentially is the result of massive leakage...journal article 2011
