Urban stormwater is contaminated by a wide range of substances whose concentrations vary greatly between locations, as well as between and during rain events. This literature review evaluates advantages and limitations of current methods for using continuous water quality monitoring for stormwater characterization and control. High-temporal-resolution measurements have been used to improve the understanding

Climate warming is linked to earlier onset and extended duration of cyanobacterial blooms in temperate rivers. This causes an unpredictable extent of harm to the functioning of the ecosystem and public health. We used Microcystis spp. cell density data monitored for seven years (2016–2022) in ten sites across four temperate rivers of the Republic of Korea to define the phenology of cyanobacterial blooms

Novel UV sources, which do not contain mercury, provide the opportunity for enhancement of current oxidation technologies through spectral optimization, minimizing inefficiencies that currently limit conventional technology. Wastewater reuse is the primary full-scale application of UV advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in practice but any background absorbance and the low molar absorption by conventional

For membrane-based, water treatment technologies, fouling remains a significant challenge for pressure-driven processes. While many antifouling strategies have been proposed, there remains significant room for efficiency improvement. Direct application of microbubbles (MBs) at the membrane interface offers a promising approach for managing interfacial fouling through continuous physical interaction(s)

Neonicotinoid insecticides are widely applied in farmland, with high detection rates in soils and surface waters, posing potential risks to biodiversity and human health. As a nonpoint emission, surface runoff is widely regarded as the major source of neonicotinoid pollution in surface waters, but few studies have determined the point source contribution to rivers that may be primarily from wastewater
