“…Our results found an average pH value of 7.86 across all sampling sites, suggesting that the river water overall had alkaline properties. This was likely related to the combined effects of anthropogenic sources, flow discharge and carbonate rocks distributed around the study area (Safari et al 2021). Generally, the pH value of natural river water is mostly regulated by the equilibrium of carbonate-bicarbonate-carbon dioxide system, while the input pollutants (e.g., organic matters) unbalance the nature of water, therefore resulting in acidification in river water (Spry & Wiener 1991;Ramsey & Szynkiewicz 2019).…”

“…Rivers are the key linkages between terrestrial ecosystems and reservoirs (lakes) and/or marine ecosystems, and historically provide the most valuable sources of water for human development (Ripl 2003;Grill et al 2019). Rivers provide the amount of available freshwater to support the human activities, such as domestic life, industrial and agricultural production (Safari et al 2021). However, the urbanization driving the rapid development of industry and agriculture has subjected rivers to an increased stress, and therefore unbalancing the river ecosystem and accelerating the degradation of water quality in rivers (van Vliet et al 2017).…”

“…However, the spatiotemporal water quality variations are strongly dependent on the intensities of human activities and changing climate, and some conflicting findings are usually obtained due to the specific objectives in different study sites (Iida et al 2011;Stevenson et al 2012). Therefore, the characteristics of spatiotemporal variations in water quality are thus still unclear (Dragun et al 2011;Safari et al 2021;Schliemann et al 2021), and more data are urgently needed to interpret the dynamic changes in water quality in some specific sites, which is expected to contribute greatly to the optimization of strategy for the universal sustainable management of water quality worldwide.…”

Water quality in rivers usually exhibits markedly spatiotemporal variations as affected by urbanization, while the magnitude of these effects remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the spatiotemporal water quality variations in the urbanizing Chongqing reach of Jialing River and its tributary using a 6-yr multisite dataset (January 2010–December 2015). Water quality variables including pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), permanganate index (CODMn), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and total phosphorus (TP) were deciphered. Results showed that the trunk river displayed respectively 1.2 and 39.8% higher pH and DO concentration but 66.9, 94.7 and 85.2% lower CODMn, NH3-N and TP concentrations relative to the tributary (P < 0.05), due largely to the dilution effects occurring in the trunk river. The dry season presented respectively 1.3, 18.2, 102.8 and 32.5% higher pH, DO, NH3-N and TP concentrations than those in the wet season (P < 0.05). DO concentration showed significant inter-annual variations (P < 0.05), and CODMn, NH3-N and TP concentrations all presented markedly declining trends from 2010 to 2015 (P < 0.05). Significant relationships among the study variables were found in different spatiotemporal scales (P < 0.05). Our results are valuable to optimize strategies for sustainable water quality management in rivers experiencing urbanization worldwide.

“…The river is sweet by itself, but after passing through salt marshes, it becomes saline. The river is characterized by its shallow and broad nature (Safari et al, 2021). To date, no studies have been conducted on the diversity of halophilic actinomycetes in this area.…”

Saline environments are unique ecosystems that harbor novel bacterial species with the potential to produce valuable secondary metabolites. In the present study, 26 actinomycetes strains were recovered predominantly from the rhizosphere (81%), in addition to sediments and water samples collected from four sites along the Garmsar Saline River in Iran. According to phylogenetic analysis, the isolated strains were identified as belonging to two different genera: Streptomyces, and Nocardiopsis. Several of the isolated actinomycetes exhibited valuable biotechnological potential, producing a diversity of enzymes including amylase, gelatinase, protease, lipase, lecithinase, and laccase. Inhibitory effects on the growth of human tumor cells were also observed; the extract of strain M15 displayed notable cytotoxicity against MCF7 human breast cancer cells with an IC50 value of 32.81 µg/ml. Also, 59% of the strains had antibacterial activity against some pathogenic and non-pathogenic test strains. Ethyl acetate extracts of the selected actinomycetes were screened, and strain M16 was found to exhibit the most potent inhibitory effect on Proteus mirabilis. GC/MS analysis of M16’s extract revealed it mainly consisted of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-methylpropyl) ester (16.61%), and 9-octadecenamide (12.77%). Based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis, Strain M16 showed the highest similarity to Nocardia aegyptia. The study concludes that actinomycetes from the Garmsar Saline River possess considerable potential for biotechnological application.

“…Some important water quality index like the water quality index (WQI), Entropy water quality index (EWQI), and others reduces the complexity of representing the water quality and makes it easier for management to understand it ( Kumar & Augustine, 2022;Roy et al, 2021). Similarly, the suitability of groundwater for irrigation purposes is also determined by various indices such as Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), Permeability Index (PI), Sodium Percentage (Na %), Kelly Ratio (KR), and Magnesium Adsorption Ratio (MAR) (Guo et al, 2021;Kouser et al, 2022;Kumar et al, 2021;Safari et al, 2021).…”

This study discusses about the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation use in Rohtak district of Haryana state, India. Ninety-four groundwater samples were collected during Pre monsoon and Post monsoon periods and analyzed by several methods, including Entropy water quality index (EWQI), Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), Permeability Index (PI), Sodium Percentage (Na %), Kelly Ratio (KR), Magnesium Adsorption Ratio (MAR), US salinity diagram, and Gibbs diagram. The spatial distribution maps of EWQI and irrigation indices were also plotted using the IDW technique in ArcGIS. The result suggests that the groundwater quality in the central part extending towards the south-western part of the area can be categorized as poor. The major ion concentrations were reported in the following order: Mg2+ > Ca2+ > Na+ > K+, and Cl- > SO42- > NO3- > HCO3- > F- > CO32- respectively. Moreover, results revealed that most of groundwater samples exceeded the desirable limits for drinking water as suggested by World Health Organization. The EWQI assessment indicates that 23.4% and 38.4% of groundwater samples have extremely poor quality in Pre monsoon and Post monsoon, respectively. Analysis of water quality for irrigation shows that various indices like EC, SAR, PI, Na %, KR, and MAR exceed their standard limit, and mostly samples are unsuitable for irrigation. The Gibbs diagram and other bivariate plots demonstrate that various ions in groundwater can be attributed to silicate and carbonate weathering, which occur through water-rock interactions and ion exchange phenomena. Additionally, the US Salinity diagram verifies that most groundwater samples exhibit significant salinity hazards, particularly concerning high sodium levels. The results of this study are highly valuable for efficiently allocating and managing the resources within this particular district.
