ClearMulti-Criteria Analysis Approach for Potential Flood Areas Mapping in The Bedadung River Watershed, Jember Regency
A multi-criteria analysis approach was applied to map potential flood areas in the Bedadung River watershed, Indonesia, integrating spatial data on topography, land use, and drainage to prioritize flood mitigation measures. The study provided a practical tool for flood-prone area identification to inform early warning systems and emergency response planning.
Study on the Influence of Mining Activities on the Quality of Deep Karst Groundwater Based on Multivariate Statistical Analysis and Hydrochemical Analysis
This study examined how long-term coal mining activities in China affected deep karst groundwater chemistry, finding significant changes to water quality that threaten safe drinking water supply in mining regions.
The feasibility of converting ex-coal mining void into aquaculture in North Kalimantan
Researchers assessed the feasibility of converting ex-coal mining voids in North Kalimantan, Indonesia into freshwater aquaculture areas by analyzing physical and chemical water quality parameters against Indonesian regulatory standards for aquaculture.
Sustainability assessment of retrofitting alternatives for large and old wastewater treatment plants in Seoul
Researchers applied an analytic hierarchy process with input from 14 experts to develop evaluation criteria for selecting the most sustainable retrofitting alternatives for a large, aging wastewater treatment plant (1.6 M m3/day capacity) in Seoul, comparing three retrofitting scenarios to inform long-term environmental sustainability planning.
Sistem Penyaliran Air Di Rom Stockpile Pt Multi Harapan Utama Sub Pt Mitra Terminal Kaltim
Researchers investigated the mine water drainage system at the ROM stockpile area of PT Multi Harapan Utama in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, calculating hourly water volumes from rainfall, surface runoff, and groundwater sources to prevent operational disruptions during the wet season. The study characterised water inflow dynamics and assessed the adequacy of existing drainage infrastructure at the port stockpile area.
Rainwater management in urban areas in Poland: literature review
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on rainwater management in urban areas in Poland using Scopus and Web of Science databases with the 'biblioshiny' tool, synthesizing research trends and identifying likely future directions. The review provides a structured overview of the state of knowledge on urban rainwater management practices and challenges in the Polish context.
Financial Aspects of Sustainable Rainwater Management in Small-Scale Urban Housing Communities
Not relevant to microplastics — this study assesses the cost-efficiency of sustainable rainwater harvesting systems for a small urban housing community in Lublin, Poland, finding that only above-ground reservoir designs are economically viable.
A Numerical Study on Impact of Coal Mining Activity and Mine Water Drainage on Flow and Transport Behavior in Groundwater
Not relevant to microplastics — this study models groundwater flow and solute transport around an active coal mine in Xinjiang, China, predicting how stopping mine water drainage could cause high-salinity plumes to threaten regional drinking water sources.
Assessment of sustainable drainage strategies in urban water systems using urban water metabolism and multi-criteria decision analyses
This study simulated the performance of seven different urban drainage strategies — from conventional to sustainable systems — using urban water metabolism and multicriteria decision analysis. Sustainable drainage systems are relevant to microplastic management because they can reduce the volume of stormwater runoff that carries microplastics from roads and urban surfaces into waterways.
Wastewater Treatment and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods: A Review
This review assessed the application of multi-criteria decision-making methods to wastewater treatment, identifying approaches that balance technical, economic, environmental, and social factors. The synthesis aims to support evidence-based selection of treatment technologies aligned with sustainability goals.
GIS-Based Modeling Approach for Analysis of Groundwater Quality in the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka
This GIS-based study applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process and multi-criteria decision analysis to map groundwater quality across Sri Lanka's dry zone using six parameters (pH, EC, TDS, alkalinity, hardness, fluoride), identifying spatial risk zones for drinking water safety.
New Bioretention Drainage Channel as One of the Low-Impact Development Solutions: A Case Study from Poland
Researchers described and evaluated a new bioretention drainage channel as a low-impact urban stormwater management solution, assessing how this green infrastructure approach modifies the hydrological cycle compared to conventional impermeable urban surfaces.
Enhancing groundwater recharge in drinking water protection zones in Flanders (Belgium): A novel approach to assess stormwater managed aquifer recharge potential
Researchers developed a model to estimate how much stormwater runoff in Flanders, Belgium could be directed underground to recharge drinking water aquifers, finding it could supplement natural recharge by an average of 17%. The study suggests urban stormwater harvesting is an underutilized tool for protecting drinking water supplies, though water quality risks need further investigation.
The first evidence of microplastic occurrence in mine water: The largest black coal mining area in the Czech Republic
Researchers found microplastics for the first time in water from terminated deep coal mines in the Czech Republic, detecting particles in mine water and nearby shallow wells. The findings suggest mine water, which is being explored as a potential drinking water source, may contain microplastic contamination from surface runoff entering the mine system.
Sustainable stormwater management described as regenerative design
Researchers investigated how municipalities can implement sustainable and regenerative stormwater management solutions, using semi-structured interviews to identify key organizational and technical factors needed for effective adoption of compact stormwater treatment systems.
Groundwater resources: challenges and future opportunities
Researchers reviewed the major challenges and future opportunities in managing groundwater — a critical global water resource — emphasizing that sustainable use requires integrating new technologies, improved governance, and awareness of social, economic, and environmental factors unique to each region.
Mitigating the Effects of Low-Impact Development on Waterlogging and Non-Point Pollution Under Different Confluence Relationships
Researchers designed 36 scenarios combining different rainfall intensities, low-impact development (LID) practices, confluence relationships, and spatial configurations, analyzing their effects on urban waterlogging and non-point source pollution using hybrid hydraulic and water quality models. The study found that confluence pathway type significantly modifies LID performance, providing guidance for optimized deployment of green infrastructure.
