“…In this filtration process, there is a process of separating solids from the solution to remove very fine suspended particles, where the solution is passed through a porous medium or porous material. This process is used in drinking water treatment plants to obtain good water quality (Fitobór et al, 2021).…”

The problem that is often encountered in clean water is that the quality of the water, both groundwater and river water used by the community, does not meet the requirements of healthy clean water. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of activated charcoal from bamboo on pH and decrease the hardness level of dug well water in the village of Lampoh Keude, Aceh Besar. This study used a Quasi-experimental method, water obtained from residents' wells was processed using the filtration and adsorption method, the filtration media was made using media with a volume of 20 liters which had been modified using sand with a thickness of 10 cm, 10 cm of palm fiber, and 10 gravel cm. The highest pH increase test results occurred in TH III AB media where the resulting pH was 7.7 ± 0.01 compared to 4.5 before processing. The same thing also happened to a decrease in the hardness level of residents' well water, where the thickness of the charcoal and the length of contact time greatly affected the test results, from the results of the 3 existing media tests, the best results were obtained by TH III AB media with a contact time of 30 minutes where the level The hardness obtained was 279 ± 3.46 mg/L or a decrease of 47.1% from the initial hardness level of well waste. There is an increase in the pH value of well water after processing, and that the use of bamboo charcoal can also reduce the hardness level of well water

“…First flush treatment is also suggested since more contaminants are present at the onset of rain because organic matter builds up in the atmosphere and on roofs during the dry season. Membrane methods such as nanofiltration can produce better-quality, safer drinking water, and have a minor environmental impact than other treatment options [39]. In Vietnam, filtration with a reverse osmosis filter and boiling was used to treat water for drinking and domestic uses [40].…”

Roof runoff is collected rainwater from a roof using a rainwater harvesting system (RWHS). The construction of an efficient RWHS requires a thorough analysis of the rainwater quality and the appropriate treatment process for its intended use. In line with this, a bibliometric and comprehensive review of studies related to roof rainwater harvesting was conducted. A corpus of 1123 articles was downloaded from the Scopus database and parsed through the CorText Manager to determine the relationships between keywords, journals, and topics related to rainwater harvesting. A comprehensive analysis was also conducted to determine the different designs of RWHS, the quality of harvested rainwater from roof catchments, the efficiency of the system for specific purposes, and its sustainability in terms of economic, environmental, and social aspects. Results show that the effectiveness of a RWHS heavily depends on its installation site, the physicochemical characteristics of the harvested rainwater, and the acceptability of the end users. An effective water treatment process is essential for achieving better water quality for harvested rainwater. Moreover, assessing the financial viability and return on investment of an RWHS is necessary.

“…Nitrogen totals (N total) and phosphorus totals (P total) may suggest nutrient stability and indicate eutrophication [127][128][129]. N total and P total are typical representative parameters of domestic wastewater [130] related to the human excreta [67], as well as household chemicals, such as detergents [131], and substances related to agricultural practices [132], while undissolved substances may be closely related to the existence of suspensions in water [133].…”

Societal Implications of Forest and Water Body Area Evolution in Czechia and Selected Regions

Land cover evolution is an environmental factor that can be used to characterize forest ecosystem services (FES). This study aims to analyze the change in forest cover and water bodies between 1990 and 2018 in the whole Czech Republic, and in the Central Bohemian and South Moravian regions, and its effects on freshwater provision. Additionally, we attempt to understand the societal implications of water quality, public perception, and environmental investment on natural ecosystems. Forest cover and water body data were obtained from the Corine land cover database, while water quality and investment were compiled from the Czech Statistical Office. Public perceptions on the Czech FES were collected from a national survey. Between 1990 and 2018, forest cover has increased by 3.94% and water bodies by 7.65%; however, from 2014 to 2018, severe droughts were reported that compromised the availability of surface water, presumably on artificial structures, causing an increase in the occupied area. Regarding public perception, respondents with less education, and the older population, obtained an assessment of the low performance of the FES, while the water quality and investment indicate that environmental funding has contributed to improving the quality of outflow water from the wastewater treatment plants, fulfilling all the allowed limits of the urban wastewater treatment directive. Hence, a multidisciplinary approach can help decision makers promote policies that integrate environmental management measures, investment protection, and contribute to sustainable development.
