In developing countries in Africa and Asia, meeting challenges of water scarcity and pollution has often been hampered by shortcomings in higher education, including insufficient research productivity and funding, lack of opportunity for university graduates, and a mismatch between university activities and societal needs. To address these issues, we developed novel programs integrating technical instruction and preparation for professional practice in hydrology for cohorts of graduate students from Morocco and Egypt (2012–2013) and from Türkiye and Indonesia (2013–2014). Students participated in an initial online course and a follow-up workshop featuring geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and hydrologic modeling with internet-based data sets. Field activities in the USA (first cohort) and in the students’ home countries (second cohort) included stream gauging, measurement of water levels in wells, water sampling, and measurement of hydrochemical parameters. A subsequent online course focused on research ethics, preparing proposals and publications, and presenting findings to technical audiences and the public, culminating in presentations at conferences in the USA. Participants mentored other students at their home institutions and at K-12 schools in Türkiye and Indonesia. Participant feedback during and after the programs tended to be strongly positive, and participants have continued to engage with project leaders and mentor students in their home countries and the USA. Our modular, hybrid approach offers a template for students in hydrology and related fields to develop relevant skills and engage internationally.

在非洲和亚洲的发展中国家,应对水资源短缺和污染的挑战往往受制于高等教育的不足,包括研究生产力和资金不足、大学毕业生缺乏机会以及大学活动与社会需求不匹配。为了解决这些问题,我们为来自摩洛哥和埃及(2012-2013 年)以及土耳其和印度尼西亚(2013-2014 年)的研究生开发了集水文学技术指导和专业实践准备为一体的新项目。学生们参加了最初的在线课程和后续的讲习班,内容包括地理信息系统 (GIS)、遥感以及利用基于互联网的数据集进行水文建模。在美国(第一批)和学生本国(第二批)开展的实地活动包括溪流测量、水井水位测量、水样采集和水化学参数测量。随后的在线课程侧重于研究伦理、准备提案和出版物,以及向技术受众和公众介绍研究成果,并最终在美国的会议上发表演讲。学员们在自己的母校以及土耳其和印度尼西亚的 K-12 学校指导其他学生。参与者在项目期间和项目结束后的反馈都非常积极,参与者继续与项目负责人保持联系,并在本国和美国指导学生。我们的模块化混合方法为水文学及相关领域的学生提供了一个培养相关技能和参与国际活动的模板。

Algae, an important foundation of aquatic ecosystems, can become a nuisance or harmful when it grows in excess. Many government agencies have a role in monitoring, responding to, and confirming a harmful algal bloom (HAB). HAB scientists have important information to share, however, given the complexities of HABs, which often involve decoupled drivers from observed impacts, presents challenges to outreach and engagement. Understanding key audience information needs can help scientists prioritize key science communication and engagement opportunities to maximize the impact of such efforts. Scientists may need additional science communication training or support for scientist-community partnerships. This will be evermore important into the future with the likely range expansion of HABs due to climate change.

藻类是水生生态系统的重要基础,当藻类过量生长时,可能会造成滋扰或危害。许多政府机构都在监测、应对和确认有害藻华 (HAB) 方面发挥着作用。有害藻华科学家有重要的信息需要分享,但由于有害藻华的复杂性,其驱动因素往往与观察到的影响脱钩,这给外联和参与工作带来了挑战。了解关键受众的信息需求可以帮助科学家确定关键科学交流和参与机会的优先次序,从而最大限度地发挥这些努力的影响。科学家可能需要更多的科学传播培训或对科学家-社区伙伴关系的支持。随着气候变化可能导致有害藻华的范围扩大,这一点在未来将变得更加重要。

This study presents the first report of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water samples collected in the Arroyo Colorado (n = 15), irrigation canals (n = 6), stormwater and wastewater retention ponds (n = 7), as well as drinking waters (n = 2) across the Arroyo Colorado watershed. Of the 30 PFAS monitored in this study, 14 were detected in the samples in various combinations. Short-chain PFAS (less than 8 carbon atoms) were observed in most samples. Water collected from the Arroyo Colorado showed significant spatial variabilities, with high total PFAS concentrations observed near possible point sources - a municipal airport and wastewater treatment facilities. PFAS concentrations were generally higher in water samples collected in stormwater and wastewater retention ponds than in the Arroyo Colorado and irrigation canals. PFAS in stormwater retention ponds likely came from roadway runoff. Short-chain PFAS were observed in the two municipal water samples, but they were below the current U.S. EPA regulation limits or are not currently regulated. This study provides useful information for water quality in this region and provides insights into PFAS occurrence in a rapidly urbanizing area.

本研究首次报告了在科罗拉多河 Arroyo Colorado 流域采集的水样(n = 15)、灌溉渠(n = 6)、雨水和废水保留池(n = 7)以及饮用水(n = 2)中的全氟和多氟烷基物质 (PFAS)。在本研究监测到的 30 种 PFAS 中,有 14 种以不同的组合在样本中被检测到。在大多数样本中都观察到了短链 PFAS(小于 8 个碳原子)。从科罗拉多河阿罗约流域采集的水样显示出明显的空间差异,在可能的点污染源--一个市政机场和废水处理设施--附近观察到的 PFAS 总浓度较高。在雨水和废水蓄水池中采集的水样中,PFAS 的浓度普遍高于科罗拉多河阿罗约河和灌溉渠中的浓度。雨水蓄水池中的 PFAS 可能来自道路径流。在两个市政水样中观察到了短链全氟辛烷磺酸,但其含量低于美国环保局目前的规定限值,或目前不受管制。这项研究为该地区的水质提供了有用的信息,并为了解快速城市化地区的全氟辛烷磺酸发生情况提供了见解。

Determinants of Water Source Choice for Irrigation in the Arkansas Delta 阿肯色州三角洲灌溉水源选择的决定因素

The use and the share of water applied from several irrigation water sources correlate with the irrigation practices in use by the peers of Arkansan farmers. From a sample of producers from an irrigation survey in Arkansas, a bivariate sample selection model accounts for how peer use of numerous irrigation practices affects the use and the share of irrigation that comes from a water source. The bivariate sample selection model controls for the bias in the statistical estimates that occur because producers who volunteer for an irrigation survey are likely to know about and use irrigation more than the population. We find that peer influence operates through multiple irrigation practices, and peer influence through an irrigation practice depends on an irrigator's location and current farm practices. For example, peer use of a tail-water recovery system and peer use of alternate wetting and drying both increase the probability of surface water use alone.

几种灌溉水源的用水量和用水比例与阿肯色州农民的同类灌溉方式有关。从阿肯色州灌溉调查的生产者样本中,一个二元样本选择模型解释了同行使用多种灌溉方式如何影响水源灌溉的用水量和比例。由于自愿参加灌溉调查的生产者对灌溉的了解和使用可能比一般人更多,因此二元样本选择模型控制了统计估算中出现的偏差。我们发现,同伴影响是通过多种灌溉方式产生的,而同伴对灌溉方式的影响取决于灌溉者的地理位置和当前的农业生产方式。例如,同伴使用尾水回收系统和同伴使用干湿交替灌溉都会增加单独使用地表水的概率。

In recent years, there has been much focus on the use of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) in urban centers, particularly for SARS-CoV-2 monitoring. However, less is known about the application of WBE in rural settings or in areas of limited resources. Most WBE programs in low-resource communities have occurred outside the United States. To reap the benefits, WBE would need to be tailored to better reflect the socioeconomic challenges, technical barriers, communication limitations, and variable wastewater infrastructures associated with rural communities. The objective of this review is to evaluate the potential opportunities and challenges of deploying the current SARS-CoV-2 monitoring methodologies in small, rural communities, with a particular focus on rural Texas. For this, we conducted an inventory of rural communities in the state of Texas and their wastewater infrastructure. Based on specific rural examples, we evaluated the potential of current WBE methodologies used in urban settings to monitor for emerging biological agents of concern such as SARS-CoV-2. Our findings include an overview of rural wastewater capacity across rural Texas, a look at current WBE efforts to detect SARS-CoV-2, and recommendations for future implementation in two cities in rural counties, Kerrville and Valentine. WBE is a rapidly evolving public health tool with several notable advantages associated with cost, access, and adaptability. It is of particular use in resource-limited communities that often exhibit healthcare disparities. This study presents the first overview of the feasibility of implementing WBE in the rural settings of Texas. We provide several recommendations and suggest alternatives that may be of use when planning an expansion of WBE into these areas.

近年来,以废水为基础的流行病学(WBE)在城市中心的应用备受关注,尤其是在 SARS-CoV-2 监测方面。然而,人们对 WBE 在农村环境或资源有限地区的应用却知之甚少。大多数在低资源社区开展的 WBE 项目都发生在美国以外的地区。要想获得收益,就需要对 WBE 进行调整,以更好地反映与农村社区相关的社会经济挑战、技术障碍、沟通限制和多变的废水处理基础设施。本研究的目的是评估在小型农村社区(特别是德克萨斯州农村地区)部署当前 SARS-CoV-2 监测方法的潜在机遇和挑战。为此,我们对得克萨斯州的农村社区及其废水处理基础设施进行了清查。根据具体的农村实例,我们评估了目前在城市环境中使用的 WBE 方法在监测 SARS-CoV-2 等新兴生物病原体方面的潜力。我们的研究结果包括对德克萨斯州农村地区污水处理能力的概述、对当前检测 SARS-CoV-2 的 WBE 工作的审视,以及对未来在两个农村县城(Kerrville 和 Valentine)实施的建议。水处理能力测试是一种快速发展的公共卫生工具,在成本、使用和适应性方面具有显著优势。它尤其适用于资源有限且经常出现医疗保健差异的社区。本研究首次概述了在得克萨斯州农村地区实施 WBE 的可行性。我们提供了一些建议,并提出了一些替代方案,这些方案可能会在计划将 WBE 扩展到这些地区时派上用场。

Assessment of Recycled and Manufactured Adsorptive Materials for Phosphate Removal from Municipal Wastewater 评估用于去除城市污水中磷酸盐的回收和制造吸附材料

Elevated concentrations of phosphorus (P) and other nutrients common in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent have been shown to contribute to the proliferation of harmful algal blooms, which may lead to fish kills related to aquatic hypoxia. Increased understanding of the negative effects associated with elevated P concentrations have prompted more strict regulation of WWTP effluent in recent years. The use of low-cost and potentially regenerative adsorptive phosphate filters has the potential to decrease P concentrations in WWTP effluent released to natural waters. This research focuses on assessing the capacities of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), expanded slate, and expanded clay to remove phosphate from P-amended WWTP effluent. Results from a flow-through column study indicate that RCA consistently removed an average of 97% of phosphate over 20 weeks of continuous flow at an 8-hour hydraulic retention time (HRT). Expanded clay removed an average of 63% of introduced phosphate but decreased in removal capacity from 91 to 42% over the 20-week duration. Sorption data from batch studies were fitted to Langmuir models and RCA was shown to have the highest maximum sorption capacity (6.16 mg P/g), followed by expanded clay (3.65 mg P/g). RCA and expanded clay are promising options for use in passive filters for further reduction of phosphate from WWTP effluent.

污水处理厂(WWTP)污水中常见的磷(P)和其他营养物质浓度升高已被证明会导致有害藻类大量繁殖,并可能因水生缺氧而导致鱼类死亡。近年来,人们对 P 浓度升高所带来的负面影响有了更深入的了解,这促使对污水处理厂出水进行更严格的监管。使用低成本且可能再生的吸附式磷酸盐过滤器有可能降低排放到自然水域的污水处理厂污水中的磷浓度。这项研究的重点是评估再生混凝土骨料 (RCA)、膨胀板岩和膨胀粘土从添加了磷酸盐的污水处理厂出水中去除磷酸盐的能力。流动柱研究结果表明,在 8 小时水力停留时间(HRT)条件下,RCA 在 20 周的连续流动过程中平均去除 97% 的磷酸盐。膨胀粘土平均去除 63% 的引入磷酸盐,但在 20 周的持续时间内,去除能力从 91% 降至 42%。批量研究的吸附数据被拟合到 Langmuir 模型中,结果表明 RCA 的最大吸附能力最高(6.16 毫克 P/g),其次是膨胀粘土(3.65 毫克 P/g)。在无源过滤器中使用 RCA 和膨胀粘土来进一步减少污水处理厂污水中的磷酸盐含量是很有前途的选择。

Undergraduate hands-on research can foster innovation and critical thinking among young scholars to delve into real-world challenges. Specifically, exploring the critical nexus between water usage and agricultural yield, can foster academic growth and holds the key to addressing global food security in an era of increasing environmental constraints, where students can unlock insights crucial to enhancing crop yield and sustainability. Investigating the intricate relationship between water management and crop productivity through undergraduate research is exemplified in this article. Undergraduate students acquired hands-on research experience by collecting, processing, and analyzing destructive (crop biomass samples) and non-destructive (plant height, nodes, and leaf chlorophyll content) cropping system data on soybeans under irrigated and dryland production systems, where they worked closely with the farmer. Identifying the current research problem and study site selection, scientific decision-making during the field study, developing critical thinking while ensuring research communication skills, and quality assurance and quality control through technology during data collection and analysis were learning outcomes. The research highlights the observed distinct performance between irrigated and non-irrigated soybeans using non-destructive plant health and growth indicators with plant biomass, following appropriate quality control and assurance steps. Statistically, irrigated soybeans outperformed non-irrigated soybeans in terms of average plant height at maturity (irrigated: 97.0±1.7 cm vs. non-irrigated: 37.4±0.6 cm; p<0.01) and number of nodes on the mainstem (irrigated: 19.5±1.2 vs. non-irrigated: 12.6±0.8; p<0.01). Findings from this study can help ensure quality control and assurance in future cropping system projects. Through the agroecosystem study, we exhibit the importance and role of undergraduate research opportunities in developing the next generation of problem solvers.

本科生的实践研究可以培养年轻学者的创新能力和批判性思维,从而深入研究现实世界的挑战。具体来说,探索水资源利用与农业产量之间的重要关系,可以促进学术成长,并在环境约束日益加剧的时代,成为解决全球粮食安全问题的关键。本文以通过本科生研究调查水资源管理与作物产量之间的复杂关系为例进行说明。本科生通过收集、处理和分析灌溉和旱地生产系统下大豆的破坏性(作物生物量样本)和非破坏性(株高、节间和叶片叶绿素含量)作物系统数据,获得了实践研究经验,并与农民密切合作。学习成果包括:确定当前的研究问题和研究地点的选择、田间研究过程中的科学决策、在确保研究交流技能的同时发展批判性思维,以及在数据收集和分析过程中通过技术进行质量保证和质量控制。研究强调,在采取适当的质量控制和保证步骤后,利用非破坏性植物健康和生长指标以及植物生物量,观察到灌溉大豆和非灌溉大豆之间的不同表现。据统计,灌溉大豆在成熟时的平均株高(灌溉:97.0±1.7 厘米 vs. 非灌溉:37.4±0.6 厘米;p<0.01)和主茎节数(灌溉:19.5±1.2 vs. 非灌溉:12.6±0.8;p<0.01)方面优于非灌溉大豆。这项研究的结果有助于确保未来种植系统项目的质量控制和保证。通过农业生态系统研究,我们展示了本科生研究机会在培养下一代问题解决者方面的重要性和作用。

Since 1901, heavy rainfall events have increased in the United States in both intensity and frequency, and human population in the United States has increased, resulting in significant land use changes. Both trends contribute to an increase in observed flood magnitude and frequency. To determine if a relationship exists between land use/land cover and changing stream flows in northwest Arkansas, this study analyzed temporal changes in various flow statistics for 14 stream gages and compared the rates of change in flow statistics from gages on streams with watersheds that have varying land uses, i.e., urban, agricultural, and undeveloped. Mann-Kendall analysis was used to determine statistically significant changes in flow statistics, which were then compared to National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) watershed land uses from 2001 and 2019. All analyzed gages had one or more flow statistics with at least a moderately significant increase, and all analyzed flow statistics showed at least moderately significant streamflow increases at two or more gages (P < 0.100). There were no decreases of any significance in any flow statistic at any gage. In general, urban land development did not happen on native prairies and forests but on previously agricultural land. Significant positive relationships were found between maximum yearly flow and 2019 urban land use, urban land use change from 2001 to 2019, and 2019 Human Development Index (HDI). A similar relationship was found to exist between yearly minimum flow and 2019 HDI. These results highlight the importance of considering the cost of potential stream bank erosion and flooding in future land use planning, permitting, and zoning.

自 1901 年以来,美国暴雨事件的强度和频率都在增加,美国的人口也在增加,导致土地利用发生了重大变化。这两种趋势都导致了观测到的洪水强度和频率的增加。为了确定阿肯色州西北部的土地利用/土地覆盖与不断变化的溪流之间是否存在关系,本研究分析了 14 个溪流测量站的各种流量统计数据的时间变化,并比较了流域内不同土地利用(即城市、农业和未开发)溪流测量站的流量统计数据的变化率。采用 Mann-Kendall 分析法确定流量统计数据的显著变化,然后与 2001 年和 2019 年的国家土地覆盖数据集(NLCD)流域土地利用情况进行比较。所有分析过的测站都有一个或多个流量统计值至少有中等程度的显著增长,所有分析过的流量统计值都显示有两个或更多测站的溪流流量至少有中等程度的显著增长(P <0.100)。所有测站的流量统计都没有出现任何明显的下降。一般来说,城市土地开发并不是在原生草原和森林上进行的,而是在以前的农业用地上进行的。最大年流量与 2019 年城市土地利用、2001 年至 2019 年城市土地利用变化以及 2019 年人类发展指数(HDI)之间存在显著的正相关关系。年最小流量与 2019 年人类发展指数之间也存在类似的关系。这些结果凸显了在未来的土地利用规划、许可和分区中考虑潜在的河岸侵蚀和洪水成本的重要性。

Urban water managers and policymakers have adopted demand management strategies to reduce water use and buffer against short-term water supply shortfalls. This article provides a systematic review of publications from 1978-2022 that examine the effectiveness of residential water use restrictions as the primary demand-side management tool. Our results indicate the significant overall effect of restrictions on reducing water consumption, with an average reduction of 12.3% from the 23 studies reviewed in this article. When evaluating effect strength by restriction type (mandatory versus voluntary), voluntary restrictions have a significantly lower effect than mandatory restrictions on water use. We also find an inverse correlation between the number of irrigation days allowed and the estimated effect strength.

城市水资源管理者和政策制定者已经采取了需求管理策略来减少用水量和缓冲短期供水短缺。本文对 1978-2022 年间研究居民用水限制作为主要需求侧管理工具的有效性的出版物进行了系统回顾。我们的研究结果表明,限制用水措施对降低用水量的总体效果显著,在本文所综述的 23 项研究中,限制用水措施平均降低了 12.3%。在按限制类型(强制与自愿)评估效果强度时,自愿限制措施对用水量的影响明显低于强制限制措施。我们还发现允许灌溉天数与估计效果强度之间存在反相关关系。

This journal, Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education, has a vested interest in research, education and extension related to water resources science, engineering, management, and policy. Within this broader interest, the journal also puts value on publishing manuscripts from undergraduate research projects, class projects, and honors thesis with a focus on water research and education. The challenge with these types of manuscripts is the focus and depth should be narrow, time and resources are often limited (e.g., one semester or the equivalent of a 3 student credit hours), and peer-reviewed publication is often not the common standard nor goal for undergraduates (Fenn et al. 2010). The latter might be the most pressing challenge, unless the undergraduates have an interest in pursuing advanced degrees, particularly graduate school where the students will be doing research for theses and dissertations. Undergraduates need opportunities like this to frame their water research within broader scientific literature (Fox et al. 2017), especially if the next step in their career is graduate school.

The faculty advisors, mentors, and teachers also play an important role in pushing these types of undergraduate manuscripts forward, while maintaining the undergraduates as the lead author. Faculty can look at publishing undergraduate research with students as the lead authors as an innovative educational opportunity in water resources (Habib and Deshotel 2018), explaining how coauthors are selected and ordered, how to craft a readable story in science (e.g., see Mackay 1995), how you handle the peer-review process, and how to write acknowledgements. However, faculty including myself often fall into the trap of writing our stories in a complex nature, which limits the manuscript's ability to always tell a readable story.

The Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education has provided and continues to provide undergraduates and faculty mentors with an opportunity to publish these manuscripts, while navigating the peer-review process. I personally find this a valuable contribution to scientific literature, as well as valuable educational opportunities in water resources. These undergraduates are part of the future workforce which will be tackling the pressing water problems and issues that we face locally, regionally and across our Nation. I hope you enjoy this Special Issue on undergraduate research.

本期刊《当代水研究与教育期刊》(Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education)关注与水资源科学、工程、管理和政策相关的研究、教育和推广。在这一更广泛的兴趣范围内,本刊还重视发表本科生研究项目、课堂项目和荣誉论文中以水研究和教育为重点的稿件。这类稿件面临的挑战是:重点和深度应该很窄,时间和资源通常有限(例如,一个学期或相当于 3 个学生学分),而且同行评审发表通常不是本科生的共同标准或目标(Fenn 等,2010 年)。后者可能是最紧迫的挑战,除非本科生有兴趣攻读高级学位,特别是研究生院,因为学生将在那里从事论文研究。本科生需要这样的机会将他们的水研究纳入更广泛的科学文献中(福克斯等人,2017 年),特别是如果他们职业生涯的下一步是研究生院的话。在推动这类本科生稿件的同时,教师顾问、导师和教师也发挥着重要作用,他们要保持本科生作为第一作者的地位。教师可以将发表以学生为第一作者的本科生研究作为水资源领域的创新教育机会(Habib 和 Deshotel,2018 年),解释如何选择共同作者和排序,如何撰写可读的科学故事(例如,参见 Mackay,1995 年),如何处理同行评审过程,以及如何撰写致谢。然而,包括我在内的教师经常会陷入一个陷阱,那就是把我们的故事写得过于复杂,这就限制了稿件始终讲述一个可读故事的能力。《当代水研究与教育期刊》已经并将继续为本科生和教师导师提供发表这些稿件的机会,同时让他们顺利通过同行评审。我个人认为这是对科学文献的宝贵贡献,也是宝贵的水资源教育机会。这些本科生是未来劳动力的一部分,他们将解决我们在地方、地区和全国面临的紧迫的水资源问题。阿肯色大学生物与农业工程系教授阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校,阿肯色州。
