Subsurface environments contain a large proportion of planetary microbial biomass and
harbor diverse communities responsible for mediating biogeochemical cycles important to …

Controlled surface water systems, including those with dams lead to dynamic stage changes
that alter the fluctuation directions of flow exchange in the hyporheic zones (HZ). However …

Contamination of groundwater with pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) increased
over the last decades. Potential pathways of PhACs to groundwater include techniques such …

Groundwater inflow can be a significant source of nutrients for riverine ecosystems, which
can affect eutrophication ie, the elevated primary production and the corresponding …

Groundwater is the major source of drinking water in most rural areas in develo**
countries. This resource is threatened by the potential presence of faecal bacteria coming …

Hyporheic zones (HZ) are hotspots for biogeochemical reactions where groundwater and
surface water mix. River dam buildings and other hydrologic controls alter the sediment …

Sand biofilters (SBFs) are commonly used to remove manganese (Mn (II)) from drinking
water. Mn (II) load variation frequently occurs in SBFs due to fluctuating influent Mn (II) …

Marine microplastics (MPs) pollution, with rivers as a major source, leads to MPs
accumulation in estuarine sediments, which are also nitrogen cycling hotspots. However, the …

Scientists have been focusing on applying more natural processes instead of industrial
chemicals in drinking water treatment to achieve the purpose of carbon emissions reduction …

Biofilm-sediment aggregate (BSA) contains a high water content, either within internal pores
and channels or bound by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) forming a highly …
