Water insecurity, intensified by climate change, environmental degradation, and unsustainable resource management, poses a significant threat to human well-being in coastal regions. This study examines the interrelationships among water governance, household well-being, and water security in southwestern Bangladesh. Using a multistage sampling...

Urban wetlands provide vital ecosystem services such as habitat provision, water purification, flood regulation, climate regulation, food provision, and recreation. However, rapid urban expansion has placed tremendous pressure on urban wetland environments, leading to their shrinkage. East Kolkata Wetland (EKW), a Ramsar site near urban area noted...

Groundwater contamination has become a critical global challenge due to population growth, industrialization and climate variability, while in India it is further intensified by urbanization, over-extraction and heavy metal pollution. Accurate prediction of water quality is critical for the sustainable groundwater management. This research used...

Understanding regional hydroclimatic patterns is essential for managing water resources and ensuring agricultural sustainability in rain-fed areas under changing climate conditions. The intensifying effects of climate change on rain-fed agriculture in India necessitate a comprehensive understanding of the precipitation dynamics and groundwater...

In Vietnam, where domestic wastewater significantly contributes to water pollution, innovative treatment solutions are urgently needed. This study assesses the effectiveness of subsurface horizontal flow constructed wetlands (CWs) for decentralized domestic wastewater treatment, focusing on systems planted with Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum)...

The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is undergoing increasing disruption to its sediment–water continuum due to upstream hydropower development, regional land use change, and climate variability. Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and streamflow are key indicators of the delta’s ecological stability and agricultural productivity, yet their recent...

Microplastic pollution poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, with land-based activities being the primary source. Wastewater treatment plants (STPs) and river systems act as key pathways, concentrating and transporting these plastics from urban areas to the sea. This presentation establishes a direct link between these sources and their...

The widespread issue of plastic pollution is increasingly affecting human health, with growing evidence of exposure, particularly in regions such as ASEAN, which are rich in aquatic resources. Microplastics and nanoplastics contaminate water bodies and are ingested by aquatic organisms. Given the high consumption of seafood in the region, humans...

Water valuation is pivotal for sustainable development in water-scarce regions and high-consumption cities in Asia. It enables efficient design of circular water conservation, including water reuse, to alleviate pressure on scarce water resources and maintain water quality through reduced pollution loads, decentralized treatment solutions and...
