Water uses, treatment, and sanitation practices in rural areas of Chandigarh and its relation with waterborne diseases

Merits of photocatalytic and antimicrobial applications of gamma-irradiated CoxNi1−xFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2;x= 0.9 nanocomposite for pyridine removal and pathogenic bacteria/fungi disinfection: implication for wastewater treatment

“…2 Moreover, 6-8 million people die every year due to water-borne pathogens, which cause serious diseases, such as typhoid fever, diarrhea and hepatitis A. [3][4][5] Wastewater contains different kinds of pollutants, such as heavy metals, dissolved and nondissolved chemicals, phenols, dyes and other miscellaneous substances. 6,7 Among these pollutants, pyridine receives continuous attention due to the severity of its effects.…”

Assessment of Sustainable Socioeconomic Development in European Union Countries

“…Some scholars have investigated the link between social and economic development and water. For instance, Liu, Zhang, and Zhang (2019) [2] claim that there is a relationship between socioeconomic development and industrial and domestic water pollution, i.e., the availability of clean water is crucial [3]. There are also scholars analysing sustainable development from an organisational perspective [4,5].…”

Impact of Domestic Solid Waste Management on Wet Land Water Quality: Case of Abomey-Calavi Municipality in Benin Republic

“…This practice disturbs the functions assured by various elements of the ecosystems generating chemical, metallic and biological pollutions of surface and the groundwater [5] [6]; [7] noticed that about 80% of the solid household waste produced by Abomey-Calavi (CAC) municipality, the second biggest city of Benin are used to backfill the wetlands which, once filled in and stabilized, become residential areas where hand-dug wells are drilled for domestic water use. Hand-dug wells as the name implies are built manually and are little more than irregular holes in the ground, intersecting the water table [6]. The present study aims to assess the physico-chemical and microbiological characterization of waters from hand dug wells installed within 10 m circumference from wetlands in Abomey-Calavi Municipality to identify the various pollutions due to the embankment of these lands by the solid household waste.…”
