Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a neoteric virus belonging to the beta coronavirus class has created a global health concern, responsible for an outbreak of severe acute respiratory illness, ...
Topography evolves under the coupled effect of exogenic and endogenic governing factors, and their scale?(in)variant dynamics. This results in a self?affine topography across a finite range, with a characteristic fractal ...
The lunar south pole, on the rim of Shackleton crater, is the target for the next human landing on the Moon. We use numerical modeling to investigate the formation of that crater and the distribution of ejecta around the ...
Flash droughts intensify rapidly after onset and cause short-term but devastating impacts on agriculture and the ecosystem. However, the drivers and characteristics of flash droughts in India have not been examined. Here ...
Megafloods cause widespread mobilization of sediments that have strong potential to control the geodynamic evolution of the Namche Barwa (NB) massif by changing the landscape morphology within a short time. However, the ...

We made the first ever successful effort in India to detect the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 viruses to understand the capability and application of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) surveillance in India. Sampling was ...
Groundwater, one of the significant potable water resources of the geological epoch is certainly contaminated with class I human carcinogenic metalloid of pnictogen family which delimiting its usability for human consumption. ...
The Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is among the largest river systems in terms of sediment discharge and the amount of arsenic present in the groundwater. Any slim possibility of arsenic intrusion in the coastal estuaries on ...
Fireworks events during the annual Indian festival of Diwali has been heavily criticised in recent times. Perchlorate is an essential component of fireworks. The effects of the fireworks on perchlorate (ClO4?) concentrations ...
Water is progressively becoming a precious resource due to its inflated usage driven by the blooming population and industrialization, growing agricultural activities, unplanned urbanization, and imprudent management. In ...
Due to urbanization, there is a high influx of people coming from rural areas to urban and so the demand for water also increases. The higher proportion of urbanization is not occurring only in developed nations but also ...
Groundwater, one of the most important resources of a nation, is a source of about 35% of water which is used by us. Aquifers all around the globe are running dry because of urbanization and overexploitation, and the scarce ...

The study is concentrated on the present water pollution and future challenges of water usage in downstream of Kelani River. The river section between Avissawella to Ambathale was focused in the study. The study was ...
The present research work focuses on the quantification of microplastics in Sabarmati river sediments (Gujarat, India). Sediment samples were collected from four different locations along the stretch of the Sabarmati River. ...

In the recent decade, there is a global concern regarding the abundance of microplastics (MPs) and their ill effects in natural ecosystems. Due to their ill effects towards aquatic biota and possible hazards to human health, ...
More than two-third of the world population depends on groundwater for drinking purpose. Several countries are on the verge of water crisis due to the overexploitation of groundwater for irrigational and industrial purposes. ...
In recent years, many biological and physicochemical treatment technologies have been investigated for the removal of the emerging contaminants (ECs) from the wastewater matrix. However, due to the deficiency of these ...
