Impact of Climate Change on Water Availability in Water Source Areas of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China

Cuiping Qiao et al.

Summary: Research indicates that with climate change, there is a slight projected increase in future runoff in the water source areas of the South-to-North Water Diversion project. However, due to the uncertainty of climate change, particular attention needs to be paid to the climate-induced risk of water supply under extreme situations.

GIS-Based Spatiotemporal Mapping of Groundwater Potability and Palatability Indices in Arid and Semi-Arid Areas

Tariq Judeh et al.

Summary: The study developed groundwater potability and palatability indices using various methods, finding that some samples were unpotable or unpalatable. Unpotable samples were mainly found in areas with poor sewer networks and intensive use of agrochemicals. Groundwater in the eastern part of the West Bank was unpalatable due to seawater intrusion.

Assessing the potential for rooftop rainwater harvesting and its physio and socioeconomic impacts, Rawal watershed, Islamabad, Pakistan

Sohail Abbas et al.

Summary: The study in two catchments of the Rawal watershed in Pakistan found that rooftop rainwater harvesting systems can help households save water costs, improve water resource utilization, and have positive impacts on the local population's economy and health. The research suggests implementing low-cost rooftop rainwater harvesting systems to improve water resource efficiency in the region.

Feasibility of Rainwater Harvesting and Consumption in a Middle Eastern Semiarid Urban Area

Ehsan Ranaee et al.

Summary: The recent development of Middle Eastern metropolitans and population increase, combined with the impacts of climate change, has led to the exploration of rainwater harvesting as a sustainable option to adapt to the rising demand of soft water in arid/semiarid regions. A pilot system in Iran's second most populous city, Mashhad, was constructed to alleviate soft water scarcity, with preliminary analysis suggesting potential water quality changes during rainwater draining and storage.
