Contamination, Sources, and Environmental Hazards of Groundwater in Bemetara District, Chhattisgarh, Central India
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)The groundwater of the the Bemetara district of Chhattisgarh in central India over a large area is hard in nature due to its high mineral content. An elevated concentration of Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and SO42− in the groundwater ... -
Neutralization of Red Mud with Organic Acids and Assessment of Their Usefulness in Abating pH Rebound
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)This study provides a practical and efficient alternative to neutralize the exorbitant pH of red mud (>11.5) followed by long-term sustenance of the neutralization. The usefulness of organic acids (oxalic acid and citric ... -
Terrace Abandonment Hazards in a Mediterranean Cultural Landscape
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)The phenomenon of the abandonment of terraced landscapes compromises environmental well-being and is a preamble to hydrological instability and, consequently, the collapse of terrace retaining walls, soil erosion, and loss ... -
Bioaccumulation of Nutrients and Toxic Elements with Macrophytes
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Macrophytes (aquatic plants or hydrophytes) are sources of food and oxygen for aquatics (e.g., fish, invertebrates) and act as bioindicators for the assessment of environmental conditions in water reservoirs. This ... -
Microbial Consortium–Based Conversion of Dairy Effluent into Biofertilizer
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Dairy wastewater (DWW) is nutritionally rich and extremely hazardous to the environment if discharged untreated. The conventional treatment is time-, labor-, and energy-intensive. A tailor-made microbial consortium converted ... -
Impact of Phosphate Industry on Natural Radioactivity in Sediment, Seawater, and Coastal Marine Fauna of El Jadida Province, Morocco
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This study aims to investigate the radiological impact of phosphogypsum (PG) discharge on the marine environment along the coast of the province of El Jadida (Morocco). The specific activity of the main radionuclides present ... -
Strength Development of Geopolymer Composites Made from Red Mud–Fly Ash as a Subgrade Material in Road Construction
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The application of industrial waste in construction reduces the dependency on natural resources. The materials, including red mud (RM) and fly ash (FA), proved to be favorable materials. However, the materials potential ... -
