Formation of Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) from Chlorination and Chloramination in Full-scale Drinking Water Production - Muhammad Jamshaid Ashiq; Anna Andersson; Henrik Kylin; Teresia Svensson; Michael Gonsior; David Bastviken (Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 2026)
Formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water production constitutes a health hazard. The total amount of DBPs is usually measured as adsorbable organic halogens (AOX). We determined AOX in samples from four full-scale drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) in Sweden using different types of raw waters and treatments. Raw water, water before and after chlorination or chloramination and tap water were sampled on five occasions during one year without applying quencher to stop chlorination reactions. Coagulation removed most (> 95%) of the AOX present in the raw water at one DWTP. Sand filtration used in all DWTPs had no clear effect on AOX levels already present in the intake water, while some AOX formation occurred during Ultraviolet (UV) treatment. AOX increased dramatically at all DWTPs during both chlorination and chloramination due to the formation of DBPs. When not using any quencher similar AOX formation was found in both chlorine and chloramine treated water, showing that substantial DBP formation occurred upon chloramination even if few regulated DBPs were detected in these DWTPs in previous assessments. Because the contribution of non-DBP AOX varies between sources and treatment processes, ∆AOX, i.e., AOX in final water subtracted by AOX prior to chemical disinfection, should be considered in DBP assessments.

Development of an AI-Enabled Vision-Based On-Site Rapid Detection of Nitrates and Nitrites from Drainage Samples - Muhammad Roman; Azlan Zahid; Ali Mirzakhani Nafchi; Mazhar Sher (Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 2026)
Plant growth is significantly impacted by the concentration of nutrients in the soil. Accurate and real-time measurement of nitrates and nitrites levels remains a significant challenge. Existing laboratory-based methods are expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, highlighting the need for a rapid, on-site solution. This study proposes a rapid method for measuring nitrates and nitrite levels in water samples collected from tile drainage. We utilized Hach Nitrate and Nitrite test strips for image dataset collection as these test strips change color based on the concentration of nitrate and nitrite in the water samples. A purpose-built black box, equipped with an internal lighting arrangement for imaging test strips, was designed to collect images of the test strips. Unlike many existing smartphone-based colorimetric approaches, which are sensitive to ambient lighting variations and often rely on external calibration or offline analysis, the proposed system integrates a controlled illumination environment with real-time edge computation for robust on-site detection of nitrate and nitrite. An Nvidia Orin Nano module, connected with an IMX219 camera sensor, was used to capture images of the test strips. Image preprocessing was performed, followed by the implementation of a VGG16-based network for feature extraction. A dataset of approximately 3128 images spanning multiple nitrate and nitrite concentration levels was collected under controlled imaging conditions. Multiple machine learning models including logistic regression (LR), support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), naïve Bayes (NB), and random forest (RF) were evaluated for classification. The nitrate detection using KNN achieved an accuracy of 99.96% training, 99.92% testing, and 99.79% cross-validation. For nitrite detection, the SVM model achieved accuracy of 99.02%, 98.04%, and 98.07% for training, testing, and cross-validation, respectively, demonstrating both systems' high reliability and practical applicability for real-time monitoring. The total system cost is approximately USD 300, highlighting the affordability and practicality of the proposed solution for on-site water quality monitoring. This technology can enable farmers, water quality researchers, and agronomists to efficiently monitor the levels of nitrates and nitrites in tile drainage samples, enabling data-driven decisions to maximize crop yields.

Integrated Assessment of Water Quality and Sediment Load Production in River and Lake Basins: A Comprehensive Analysis for Environmental Management and Community Health - Mohd Khairul Amri Kamarudin; Noorjima Abd Wahab; Mohd Ekhwan Toriman; Firdaus Muhammad-Sukki; Ahmad Shakir Mohd Saudi; Fazureen Azaman (Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 2026)
River and lake basins can be regarded as primary water sources, providing communities with a variety of services, including food supplies, flora and fauna habitats, and household uses. To evaluate the state of the water quality, particularly in the lake basin, sedimentation issues and water quality status are considered. The Kenyir Lake Basin's health was tracked in this study using the Water Quality Index (WQI), JPS River Index (JRI), and Sediment Load (SL) production. Determining and analysing the trends in water quantity and quality throughout the Kenyir Lake Basin was the goal of this study. For the purpose of this study, samples were taken at 21 different locations around the lake basin in the wet (November), dry (September), and normal (July) seasons. Six WQI parameters, four JRI parameters, and three SL production parameters have been chosen. In the linear connection to forecast WQI, JRI, and SL, several important variables serve as inputs. The key parameters were identified for each index, such as pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), and ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₃-N) which were critical for the WQI; specific flow was essential for the JRI; and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) were important for the sediment load (SL) production analysis. Furthermore, the Hazard Quotient (HQ) was subsequently calculated to conduct a preliminary assessment of the potential health risks associated with metal exposure. The elements' HQ ingestion values were discovered to be in the following order: Arsenic (As) > Cadmium (Cd) > Copper (Cu) > Cobalt (Co) > Chromium (Cr) > Nickel (Ni) > Zinc (Zn) > Plumbum (Pb); all averaged HQ values were less than 1, suggesting that there was little to no health risk from the metals in question. Overall, the WQI results indicate that the basin's water quality is generally Class I to Class II, with WQI values of at least 60% across all sampling points. Linear relationship analysis identified DO as the most critical parameter influencing the WQI across all seasons (contributing up to 64.40% in the dry season), followed by ammoniacal nitrate (AN) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). The human health risk assessment revealed that the non-carcinogenic risk from metal exposure (As, Cd, Cu, Co, Cr, Ni, Zn, Pb) was negligible, as all averaged HQ values were less than 1. However, the carcinogenic risks associated with exposure to As and Cr were identified as high. Although the water quality has not reached a critical threshold, unregulated anthropogenic activities pose a substantial and intensifying threat to the ecosystem and local communities. These findings necessitate a more systematic environmental management approach to mitigate future degradation. Apart from the river, anthropogenic activities such as sand mining, tourism, agriculture, and municipal wastewater treatment were assessed using secondary data obtained from land use records, environmental monitoring reports, and official discharge statistics. Analysis of these data revealed that such activities play a substantial role in contributing to the concentration of polluting elements in the river water. Although the current level of water quality and quantity degradation in the Kenyir Lake Basin has not yet reached a critical threshold, the potential adverse impacts on the ecosystem and local communities are likely to intensify if these anthropogenic pressures remain unregulated.

Variable Rate Irrigation Through Digital Agriculture for Sustainable Water Management: A Meta Review on Current Challenges and Future Directions - Nauman Yaqoob; Aitazaz A. Farooque; Syed Hamid Hussain Shah; Farhat Abbas; Muhammad Hassan (Water Resources Management, 2026)
Efficient agricultural water management is essential due to increasing pressure on global water resources. To support environmentally sustainable farming water management, a detailed review of existing research on data-driven irrigation systems is conducted. The review paper reviews present advancements, challenges, and future directions based on extensive peer-reviewed studies on variable-rate irrigation (VRI), machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning techniques, smart sensing technologies, state-of-the-art control systems, and coupled frameworks. To ensure transparency and reproducibility, studies were selected through a systematic search of major research databases (such as Dimensions AI, Web of Science, and Scopus) using key keywords. The inclusion criteria required that studies be peer-reviewed, published in English between 2000 and 2023, and specifically address precision irrigation techniques, control strategies, or implementation methods relevant to VRI. Conference proceedings and high-impact journal articles were prioritized. This review focuses on three central components of precision irrigation: (1) development of prescription maps, (2) innovative control strategies, and (3) realistic implementation of VRI systems. To improve the efficiency and flexibility of modern irrigation systems, the paper identifies emerging knowledge gaps and proposes innovative pathways to address them. The study describes a new methodology through a case study on developing irrigation prescription maps. Precision irrigation, especially when supported by VRI and state-of-the-art AI technologies, has shown considerable potential to improve water productivity. This approach assists researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in designing, comparing, and executing sustainable irrigation strategies.

Towards high-spatial-resolution, multi-depth soil water content estimation via SAR data and multimodal deep learning - Mehdi Rafiei; Muhammad Rizwan Asif; Michael Nørremark; Claus Aage Grøn Sørensen (Precision Agriculture, 2026)
Purpose Soil Water Content (SWC) is a critical factor in precision agriculture, influencing crop health, irrigation planning, and land management. Current methods for estimating SWC have low spatial resolution, fail to account for the spatial impact of surrounding areas, and are often limited to surface SWC. Therefore, this research aims to assess the feasibility of a high-resolution, multi-depth (root zone) SWC estimation method tailored for precision agriculture applications. Methods We propose a deep learning-based approach that integrates remote sensing and multimodal data to estimate SWC at high spatial resolution across multiple depths. Our method combines a U-Net model for spatial feature extraction, a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) for time-series processing, and a Feed-Forward Neural Network (FNN) for contextual information. A key challenge in this task is the scarcity of ground truth data due to the limited number of in-situ SWC measurements. To address this, we introduce the Relative Soil Water Content (RSWC) parameter, which enhances surface SWC estimation by leveraging historical remote sensing data. Results Using two field cases, we evaluate our model against two state-of-the-art methods: a point-based deep learning model and a numerical model. Results demonstrate that our approach outperforms both baselines in SWC estimation across different depths, achieving Mean Square Errors (MSEs) of 1.54% and 2.01% for the two fields, compared to 2.69% and 3.37% for the point-based method and 3.82% and 6.21% for the numerical model. Conclusions Our method generates high-resolution, multi-depth SWC maps for the entire field without requiring extensive in-situ measurements, presenting a multimodal deep learning approach as a practical proof-of-concept solution for large-scale agricultural applications.

The modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov (mZK) model is a fundamental framework for describing nonlinear phenomena in plasma oscillations, optical systems, discrete electrical lattices, and oceanic wave dynamics. In this work, we establish a unified framework that combines exact solution construction with dynamical systems analysis of the mZK equation. Using the modified Khater method and the Sardar subequation technique under a traveling wave transformation, we derive new and more general families of solitary traveling wave solutions, including trigonometric, hyperbolic, rational, exponential–rational, and complex soliton forms. We show how free parameters govern the existence, shape, and stability of these solutions, with two- and three-dimensional MATLAB simulations illustrating their structures. Furthermore, we reformulate the mZK equation as a planar dynamical system and classify its qualitative features through phase portraits, identifying centers, saddles, and cusps. With the inclusion of periodic external forcing, the reduced system displays bifurcation and chaos, following a period-doubling route with multistability and sensitivity to parameter variations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that simultaneously delivers exact soliton solutions and a complete nonlinear dynamics characterization of the mZK equation. This integrated approach provides a novel template for investigating broader classes of nonlinear evolution equations.

Integrated hydrogeochemical and multivariate statistical assessment of groundwater in Gashua, northeastern Nigeria: implications for arid zone aquifer management - Abdussalam Muhammad Auwal; Martins Uchenna Obidiegwu; Mohammed Yerima Kwaya; Ogechukwu Anastasia Ben-Owope; Josephmartin Izuchukwu Korie; Abdurrasheed Yusuf Muhammad; Musaab A. A. Mohammed; Tamás Madarász (Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2026)
Groundwater is the primary source of potable and irrigation water in Gashua, Northeastern Nigeria, where arid climatic conditions limit surface water availability. Unlike previous studies in the Chad Basin that focused on limited chemical parameters, this study applies integrated geospatial modelling and multivariate statistics to delineate hydrochemical facies and anthropogenic hotspots in a semi-arid aquifer. Twenty-five groundwater samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, major cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺), and anions (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻, HCO₃⁻). Results showed pH values from 5.7 to 7.9, EC between 415 and 1464 µS/cm, and TDS from 265.6 to 937.0 mg/L. 80% (20/25) of the samples exceeded the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) limit for hardness. Piper and Durov diagrams revealed Ca²⁺–Mg²⁺–Cl⁻–SO₄²⁻ and Ca²⁺–Mg²⁺–HCO₃⁻ facies, reflecting carbonate and sulphate dissolution, cation exchange, and evaporative concentration. Spatial analysis delineated recharge zones in the north and discharge zones in the south, with higher salinity and nitrate levels in peri-urban areas. Nitrate ranged from 10.8 to 88 mg/L, with one sample exceeding the World Health Organization (WHO) limit of 50 mg/L; sampling was conducted during the dry season. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) explained 79% of total variance and identified mineralization, pH buffering, and nitrate pollution as key processes. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) classified wells into recharge, transitional, and discharge zones. Irrigation suitability assessed by SAR, Na⁺%, PI, KR, and MH confirmed that most samples are suitable, though moderate salinity (C2S1) and isolated sodicity risks highlight the need for site-specific management. These findings emphasize the vulnerability of groundwater to both natural geochemical evolution and human activities. The integrated hydrogeochemical and multivariate approach provides actionable implications: protecting recharge areas in the north, routine surveillance of southern salinity and nitrate hotspots, and tailored farmer advisories for irrigation practices. Such measures are critical for sustainable aquifer management in arid regions.

Biochar effects on potassium availability and dynamics in Egyptian soils - Muhammad Ayman (Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2026)
Purpose Potassium (K) deficiency remains a major constraint for sustainable crop production in Egyptian soils, especially in calcareous and sandy soils. This study evaluated the effectiveness of four types of biochar in enhancing K availability and dynamic across four varied soil textures. Methods Four biochars (bagasse biochar (BB), olive stone biochar (OSB), orange fruit waste biochar (OFB), and maize stalk biochar (MSB)), were applied at uniform rate of 3% (w/w) to sandy, loamy, clayey, and calcareous soils. Key indicators including such as; water-holding capacity (WHC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), labile-K (K L ), activity ratio of K ( $$\:\text{A}{\text{R}}_{0}^{\text{K}}$$ ), potassium buffering capacity (PBC K ), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) were measured to assess K dynamics and thermodynamic parameters. Results The studied soil properties, including WHC and CEC, were increased by 35.50%, 65.85% in sandy soil with MSB, 30.34%, 30.70% in loamy soil with MSB biochar, 17.10%, 18.20% in clayey soil with MSB biochar, 20.20%, 33.5% in calcareous soil with MSB biochar. Thermodynamic K parameters also improved in all studied soils, especially when treating with MSB and OSB biochars. In sandy soil, the application of maize stalk biochar increased K L by 376% and $$\:\text{A}{\text{R}}_{0}^{\text{K}}$$ by 358%. The olive stone biochar applied in loamy soil increased K L by 72.7% and $$\:\text{A}{\text{R}}_{0}^{\text{K}}$$ by 69.8%. The application of maize stalk biochar in calcareous soil increased K L and $$\:\text{A}{\text{R}}_{0}^{\text{K}}$$ values by 103% and 88.8%, respectively. Orange fruit waste biochar had the highest K content as a waste material. The Gibbs Free Energy values became more negative after the application of the biochars. The values of K L , $$\:\text{A}{\text{R}}_{0}^{\text{K}}$$ , and the Gibbs Free Energy were interrelated. Results also confirmed the distinctiveness of OSB and MSB, as their surface area reached 28.87, and 32.14 m² g − 1 , respectively, and their content of multiple functional groups. Conclusion Biochar amendments, particularly MSB and OSB biochars, substantially improve K availability, retention, and energy efficiency in Egyptian soils. These results highlight biochar as a strategic input for restoring K in soil, enhancing nutrient cycling, and promoting sustainable soil management under arid and semi-arid conditions.
