Heavy rainstorms can expose weaknesses in a home that may go unnoticed during normal weather conditions. One of the most common problems homeowners experience after major storms is water entering the basement. Even small leaks can lead to costly damage if they are not addressed quickly. Basement leaks are rarely caused by a single issue. […] The post What Causes Basement Leaks During Heavy Rainst…

ABSTRACT Degradation of urban surface water quality has increased the importance of understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of pollutants within aquatic systems. Poor water quality damages aquatic habitats and poses a human health risk. The purpose of this study was to investigate environmental and anthropogenic factors that impact water quality in the Rock Creek Watershed in Maryland…

Abstract The treatment of wastewater has been the subject of increasing studies aimed at developing less costly and more efficient methods to be applied as can be observed in the present article. Today, with industrial growth, the discharge of dyes, medications, pesticides, and other harmful substances into the aquatic environment, there is a perception that improving the quality of water bodies …

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the limnological and microbiological parameters of water from the Xingu River to establish a water quality profile for municipalities in the Xingu and Transamazon regions affected by the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant (BMHPP). Methods: A field study employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches was conducted to assess water quality parameters …

We have commissioned the British Geological Survey to undertake a new survey of the Fell Sandstone Formation and surrounding strata to help us undertake our regulatory role in protecting groundwater underlying Berwick and the surrounding area.

Abstract The presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments poses risks to public health and ecosystem, particularly due to the promotion of antimicrobial resistance. Rifampicin (RIF), a chemically stable and biologically active antibiotic, is increasingly detected in wastewater streams and remains insufficiently removed by conventional treatment processes. In this study, cellulosic residue base…

Abstract Nitrogen serves as an important driver of eutrophication in water bodies, with its excessive inputs posing considerable threats to aquatic ecosystems. In order to remove nitrogen pollutants efficiently, activated carbon fibres (ACFs) were dual-modified with HNO3 and NaOH to improve their adsorption performance in aqueous solution. Batch experiments on surface characteristics and adsorpti…
