“…Early WQIs were relatively simple, focusing mainly on basic physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH and turbidity. For example, the Horton Water Quality Index, introduced in the 1960s, was one of the first to combine several parameters to provide an overall assessment [2,6,26,41]. However, these early indices often had limitations, taking into account only a limited number of factors and not necessarily reflecting the overall ecological impact of water quality.…”

A wide range of variables, both human and natural in origin, can negatively impact aquatic ecosystems, especially when they accumulate excessively. While some of these elements are vital for aquatic life, their high concentration poses a risk. Consequently, a monitoring and analysing water resource to assess the impact of these elements becomes essential. Commonly, water quality indices (WQIs) are used for this purpose. The continuous improvement, simplification, and adaptation of WQIs are necessary to meet the evolving needs of water management. This work focuses on developing a comprehensive model for assessing water quality in North of Moroccan watersheds. It aims to review and define the goals of water quality monitoring, classify the tools used for this purpose, and describe the process of developing WQIs.

“…The on-going research and development in this field are vital for devising the strategies that not only manage waste efficiently but also protect the environment from the potential hazards associated with landfill operations. This balance is crucial for ensuring a sustainable future for Morocco, as it continues to grow both demographically and economically (Bourjila, 2023;Obru-Egboro, 2023).…”

The rapid increase in municipal solid waste in developing areas, as demonstrated by the Fez landfill, has led to the production of leachate with alarmingly high levels of pollutants, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive analysis and advanced treatment methods. This study uncovered exceptionally high concentrations of organic and inorganic substances, as well as heavy metals in the leachate, with chemical oxygen demand (COD) reaching 57,100 mg/L, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD₅) at 39.400 mg/L, and a significant presence of iron (Fe) at 1,370 mg/L, underscoring the extreme contamination levels. Importantly, this research introduced a notable contribution to the field by calculating a leachate pollution index (LPI) of 88.8, a figure considerably exceeding the limits considered safe for environmental discharge. The results of the current study complement the already existing information about the critical environmental threat posed by the leachate, emphasizing the necessity for extensive treatment prior to release into the environment. The study insights are crucial for developing effective strategies to reduce the risks to aquatic ecosystems and public health, as well as for guiding policy and practice in waste management in developing regions.

“…This variability in water availability makes it increasingly difficult to manage water resources effectively, impacting agriculture, drinking water supplies, and energy production. Furthermore, the melting of glaciers and ice caps contributes to rising sea levels, which can lead to the salinization of freshwater resources [19,[27][28][29]. This process reduces the availability of potable water and can harm agricultural lands, making them less fertile and reducing crop yields [30][31][32].…”

The burgeoning interest in addressing climate change has catalyzed a significant increase in related research, necessitating a comprehensive review to understand the evolution of the field, emergent research areas, and geographical contributions. By employing a bibliometric methodology to analyze a wide array of scientific publications, this study aims to map out the dynamics of global research on climate change, focusing on publication growth, international collaborations, thematic trends, and citation impact. Our findings reveal not only a substantial rise in the volume of research and international collaborations, reflecting the global consensus on climate change challenges, but also a diversification of topics, indicating a shift towards more integrative and interdisciplinary approaches. The citation analysis further highlights the growing influence and importance of climate change research in scientific discourse and policy-making. Overall, this work underscores the dynamic evolution of climate change research, offering valuable insights into its progress, changing priorities, and the future challenges and opportunities, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the scientific landscape and informing future studies and policy development.
