Water represents a critical nutrient, the absence of which will be lethal within days. Water’s importance for the prevention of nutrition-related noncommu-nicable diseases has received more attention recently. There are major gaps in knowledge related to the measurement of total fluid intake and hydration status at the population level. It is poorly understood the effects of chronic mild dehydration and fluid consumption on specific health outcomes including obesity. Urolithiasis is the only disorder that has been consistently associ-ated with chronic low daily water intake. Water is an essential nutrient required for life, but until now, it was considered mainly as a universal solvent, which served to prepare the broth of life inside the cells, but the function of water now takes unusual importance with our discovery of the unsuspected ability of the human body to transform the power of light into chemical energy by dissociating the molecule from water, as it happens in plants. The process that we replicated in the laboratory for the first time in 2007, represents a light at the end of the tunnel, in the growing and serious problem of contamination of the mysterious and vital liquid that we call water.

The effects of O2 plasma treatment on the adsorption capacity of activated carbon (AC) were investigated by varying the plasma treatment times. The surface properties of the AC were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Zeta potential. The carbon was then applied to remove methylene blue (MB). The adsorption kinetics and isotherm were also studied. Results showed that pseudo-second-order kinetics was the most suitable model for describing the adsorption of MB onto AC. Equilibrium data were well fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model. The highest adsorption capacity resulted from 4 minutes of O2 plasma treatment. The 4-minute plasma treated AC had the best adsorption capacity for MB at 0.467 mg/mg. This work shows that activation of AC by plasma can open the micropore and increase the effectiveness of chemical removal.

In the coastal cities of West Africa, land use change, rapid population growth, bad sanitation systems and poor environmental governance degrade the quality of groundwater. This study aimed to assess alternative, acceptable, affordable sanitation disposal and practices for groundwater quality rehabilitation in the cities of Cotonou and Lome. The study was based on the participatory transdisciplinary approach, field surveys, feedback from interactions with stakeholders, experiences of the practitioners and institutional consultations. This multi-stakeholder approach helped to appreciate ecological aspects of sanitation disposal and its implications on water quality improvement. SWOT model was used to analyze the relevance of assessed ecological system. Well water quality is deteriorated by traditional waste management disposal. Ecological sanitation systems are septic tanks on polyethylene, above-ground latrines and phytoremediation technique in the swamp areas. Collected wastes are used for composting and biogas production. Based on the optimist scenario at 2030 horizon, kind success factors of groundwater security are participation of citizens, existence of sanitation market, valorization of the waste by category, low-cost disposal adaptable to the individual, household and neighborhood’s scales. The strategic directions rely on funding and public policies for WASH, ecological sanitation disposal, cultural environment and good sanitation practices for emergence of new sanitation system to secure and sustain well water quality. But the social acceptability of ecological disposal is limited by the society’s multicultural heritage. These findings could help in decision-making concerning urban groundwater quality protection in the African coastal cities.

This study aims to characterize the climatic variability in the South-East of Ivory Coast and to show its impact on the supply of water resources. To do this, statistical and hydrological methods were applied to climatic data collected at the Marc DELORME Research Station of the CNRA. The statistical trend tests on this data revealed a significant decrease in precipitation and an increase in temperature, insolation and evaporation. Statistical break methods indicate a rainfall break in 1982 which marks a modification of the rainfall regime thus translating a drop in rainfall of 15%, a recession in the frequency of rainy days in general and in particular in rainfall heights between 10 and 30 mm and greater than 50 mm. This break is accompanied by a shortening of the rainy seasons, with average rainfall durations ranging from 54 days (short rainy season) to 104 days (great rainy season). Despite the disturbances in the different seasons of the year, the monthly rainfall regimes in the area have not changed. The assessment of the effects of drought on water resources using the Standardized Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) for three-time scales (1 month, 3 months and 12 months) indicates a severe drought ranging from 3% to 7% over the period 1961 to 2018. However, despite the presence of this severe drought, the intensity of the drought was found to be moderate on all time scales. The Thorrnthwaite method was used to highlight the impacts of this climatic variability on the region’s water resources. The average annual recharge estimated at 402 mm, has been reduced to 153 mm during a deficit period, a decrease of about 62%. The average annual runoff, which was 294 mm, fells to 257 mm, a decrease of about 13%. This recorded decrease in the water infiltrated after the rainfall break (1983-2018), explains the heterogeneous decrease in the depth of the water table.
本研究旨在描述科特迪瓦东南部的气候变化，并显示其对水资源供应的影响。为此，将统计和水文方法应用于CNRA Marc DELORME研究站收集的气候数据。对这些数据的统计趋势测试显示，降水量显著减少，温度、日照和蒸发量增加。统计中断方法表明，1982年的降雨中断标志着降雨制度的改变，从而导致降雨量下降15%，降雨日频率普遍下降，尤其是降雨量高度在10至30毫米至50毫米之间，平均降雨持续时间为54天（短雨季）至104天（大雨季）。尽管一年中的不同季节都有扰动，但该地区的月降雨量没有变化。使用三个时间尺度（1个月、3个月和12个月）的标准化降水和蒸发蒸腾指数（SPEI）评估干旱对水资源的影响表明，1961年至2018年期间发生了3%至7%的严重干旱。然而，尽管存在这种严重的干旱，但干旱的强度在所有时间尺度上都是中等的。Thornthwaite方法用于强调这种气候变化对该地区水资源的影响。估计年平均补给量为402毫米，在赤字期间已减少到153毫米，减少了约62%。年平均径流量为294毫米，下降到257毫米，下降了约13%。降雨中断后（1983-2018年）渗透的水量减少，这一记录解释了地下水位深度的非均匀性下降。

Atmospheric deposition of nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus has the capacity to significantly affect the productivity and biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of land use/cover types on the atmospheric deposition of nutrients around Lake Kivu. Dry and wet atmospheric deposition samples were collected from four different land use/cover types (forest, wetland, agricultural and urbanized area) at four stations (Goma, Lwiro, Bukavu and Iko) around the Lake Kivu basin. The highest annual loading of dry total phosphorus (TP) was recorded at a station located in an urban area at Goma (4.4 ± 3.9 μmol/m2/yr) and the highest dry deposition of total nitrogen (TN) was recorded at Iko (84.5 ± 41.2 μmol/m2/yr). High wet TP and TN were at Bukavu (0.7 ± 1.1 μmol/m2/yr) and Iko (21.7 ± 34.7 μmol/m2/yr) respectively. High dry TP loads were recorded in the forest area of Goma and the highest dry TN at Lwiro. High wet TP loads were record in agriculture at Goma and high values of wet TN in agriculture at Iko. Phosphorus and nitrogen deposition rates around Lake Kivu were similar to those reported for other African lakes. The highest rate of TP was recorded mainly in the forest area for dry deposition while high TN was recorded in all types of land use/cover in the basin. This study found out that forest traps high concentration of nutrient than other land uses/covers.

Microplastic has become a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. Microplastic in the oceans has detrimental effects on aquatic organisms. The presence of microplastic in marine fish heightens the chance of finding microplastic in seafood targeted for human consumption. The Mediterranean Sea is known to suffer from significant plastic pollution. It is also one of the most thoroughly studied water bodies in regard to microplastic contamination. The manuscript reviews the available literature of 2015-2021 on the presence of microplastic in commercially important fish species in the Mediterranean Sea. The literature data on microplastic content on beaches, in subtidal sediment, in the sediment from the ocean floor and in surface water of different regions of the Mediterranean Sea is reviewed, also.
