A disastrous sudden blackening of the river Kameng in Arunachal Pradesh, known as the river Jiya Bharali in Assam, was studied to find its cause and effects. The water of the river suddenly turned turbid and black on October 29, 2021, causing a large-scale death of fish for several days creating panic among the surrounding people. Samples of water and sediment were collected from different locations of the river and were analysed. The results indicate an increase in TSS consisting of aluminosilicates and oxides of Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, etc., mixed with water due to landslides. Coloured metal oxides were found to cause the blackening while toxicity and suffocation due to excess of suspended microscopic particles may have led to the death of fish. Preventive and curative measures for the disaster have been suggested.

Smart water meters play a significant part in the interactive control of water supply networks required for smart cities. Opposed to completely mechanical water meters, electro-mechanical water meters or fully electronic water meters can capture real-time data via an automated meter reading process, making them more appropriate for smart city applications. However, the depletion of fresh water supplies as a result of climate change, as well as the rising demand associated with population increase, are some growing concern in many regions globally. Monitoring water distribution and delivery is a critical strategy for increasing distribution efficiency. This paper presents a wireless transceiver unit that can be integrated with existing electronic water meters. The unit utilises a reliable communication algorithm for real-time data exchange. Metering data is transmitted using cutting-edge narrow-band Internet of Things technology that operates using low power whilst covering a wide range with effective penetration.

There are several causes of hemolytic diseases, such as viral or bacterial contamination, enlarged spleen, and typhoid fever, which can be transmitted through contaminated water. Polluted wastewater samples were collected for the period of June-2022 to (May-2023) from five stations in Baghdad City such as Al- Gureat, Al-Ahdamyah, Bab Al-Muhadum, Bab Al-Sharqy and Al-Jadryah stations on the Tigris Riverbanks for the studying of Ceftriaxone antibiotic risk. The concentrations of ceftriaxone have been detected using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results reveal that concentrations of ceftriaxone in the water fluctuated via sampling stations and seasons; so the highest concentration was 8 × 10-5 ppm in site 2 at Ahdamyah station, while the lowest concentrations was 1 × 10-7 ppm in site 5 sites at Al-Jadryah station during wet season 2023. The results of the statistical analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the study stations, except for the control station. The detection of ceftriaxone in raw surface water confirms that sewage from health institutions reaches the river without any effective treatment.

Arsenic significantly impacts human health and the environment and its removal from wastewater is still difficult. Magnetic nanoparticles have come to light as a viable arsenic remediation technique, providing a fresh and long-lasting water purification method. This study investigates the use of magnetic nanoparticles to remove arsenic by concentrating on their adsorption mechanism, kinetics, potential for adsorption, recovery, and promising use of this method in the future. Due to the extensive surface area and variable surface chemistry of magnetic nanoparticles, they can effectively adsorb arsenic from water sources. Because their magnetic properties simplify separation and regeneration, they may be used again with little to no efficiency loss. As a result, they reduce trash output by providing an ecologically acceptable alternative to traditional adsorbents. The present study also examines the kinetics and adsorption process of magnetic nanoparticles, emphasising their improved selectivity and capacity for adsorption. Due to these characteristics, the authors were able to successfully remove arsenic from wastewater, resulting in better water quality and decreased health hazards after exposure to arsenic. Additionally, the potential applications of magnetic nanoparticles in removing arsenic have been highlighted. It is envisaged that advances in material science and nanotechnology will create unique magnetic nanoparticles with even better performance. Combining hybrid materials and surface alterations can increase their effectiveness in wastewater treatment settings.

Records of precipitation and soil temperature, two of the most significant climatic elements impacting vegetation cover, were gathered as annual and monthly data over a period of 20 years from the European Center for Long-term Numerical Weather Forecasts. The goal of this study was to ascertain the impact of plant cover on climatic variations. The study’s final findings revealed that Mosul station had the greatest value of vegetation at 0.24 and Basra station had the lowest value at 0.15. The Mosul station recorded the maximum amount of precipitation, 1400 mm in the northern and central parts during the winter, and the lowest amount, 8 mm, during the fall and summer months in the districts west of the Rutba station. Using the Pearson test, it was discovered that the relationship between vegetation cover and soil temperature is inverse, and this, in turn, plays a significant role in the lack of vegetation cover in the southern regions because of nature. The desert of the region, as well as the lack of precipitation and high temperatures, is responsible for the region’s lack of vegetation. The highest value reached by the soil temperature was in the year 2018 at the Basra station.

The presence of organophosphorus contaminants (OPCs) in water is a major concern due to their toxicity and adverse effects on human health and the environment. Traditional water treatment methods such as coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration are not always effective in removing OPCs from water, making it necessary to explore alternative methods. Nanomaterials, due to their unique physical, chemical and biological properties, have emerged as promising adsorbents for the removal of OPCs from water. This review article focusses on the recent developments in the use of nanomaterials as adsorbents for the removal of OPCs from water. The article covers various types of nanomaterials, including carbon-based nanomaterials, metal-based nanomaterials and other hybrid nanomaterials. The mechanisms of OPC adsorption by nanomaterials, such as electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and Van der Waals forces, are also discussed. The article further highlights the factors affecting the adsorption capacity of nanomaterials, such as pH, temperature, and concentration of OPCs. Additionally, the article examines the challenges associated with the application of nanomaterials in water treatment, such as the potential release of nanomaterials into the environment and the need for cost-effective and scalable synthesis methods.
